Paddlesurf Ireland Waveski Trip

I spent my last few days before college started back surf kayaking and waveskiing up in Sligo and Donegal on the Paddlesurf Ireland NW freesurf trip. We got lucky with the surf for the few days with Easky left breaking well for all the time we were there, except for one morning when we went up to Tullan Strand in Donegal.

It was pretty much my first time back in the surf kayak in about 6 months so things were a bit rusty to start off but I got the hang of it again pretty quick and had some really fun surfs over the few days. The highlight was probably when I went for an air and somehow got kicked upwards by the breaking lip, I got a few feet of air and landed off the back of the wave.
It was also my first time trying out the beginner waveskis that Paddlesurf Ireland bought recently. They go really nice, they're nice and easy to paddle and catch waves on and they surf really well too. Obviously not as high performance as a custom waveski but definatly on a par with a surf kayak. If anyone wants to demo it just give me a shout, that's what it's there for!
