There has never been a better time to START WINDSURFING...

 

 

Tushingham and Starboard are offering some MEGA deals on beginner windsurfing equipment at the moment. For as little as €1185, you can have a full, brand new, high performance windsurfing package that will see you go from beginner right through to a good intermediate level. This package will work for all the family, and buying new removes the worry about failing older kit and ensures you have the correct equipment to start out with (and not someone else`s cast off`s!). CLICK HERE TO GET STARTED.

 

 

 

 

With the weather being sooooo good out there at the moment, there is loads of oppertunity to get out kayaking these evenings. Each time I stop to fill up diesel in the bigsurf.ie van, I end up chatting about trips, whale watching, night paddles and fishing expeditions with the service station attendant (HI Brendan!). I`m not going to give the low down on all our boats here, but our top sellers are the Ocean Kayak Frenzy for all the family and the Ocean Kayak Malibu 2, if you want to go Tandem. We love the look of the Necky Chatham 16 (pictured below) touring boats, for those of you who want a fast boat to go on overnight trips or long fast paddles down the coast.

 

 

There has been loads of great days to get out Stand Up Paddle Boarding recently...have you seen many out at your local spot? Then don`t get left behind! There is a Stand Up Paddle Board here for you, right now. The Red Paddle Inflatable boards are ideal for those short of space, the 8`6" shortboards like the Pocket Rocket are the ultimate for on rail wave riding, or look to the plus 12` longer boards like the Big Easy for cruising / exploring or to do just about anything! We wouldn`t go the beach any more without a SUP in the car...you`re guaranteed to have fun with every trip! Check out our SUP shop by clicking HERE.

 

 

 

 

 

We love to hear back from our customers, and you`ve been great in keeping in touch recently. Shane said after purchasing his 9` Quiksilver Phil Grace longboard..."Pearse, that board turned a mushy 2 foot session into pure perfection...thank you!". Michal has been using his GoPro HD cam in the RIB...watch this vid below!  If you know your RIB`s, he`s playing with a big boat, in waves, with a lot of power on the back...(turn off sound if you are offended by bold words)

 

 

He`s been out diving too!  Click HERE to see the Triathlon on facebook! 

 

 

 

 

We`ve recently uploaded the bigsurf.ie gear to the website!  Now you can be a team rider too!  All gear has been picked out for its ability to do its job...and they look cool too!  (as you can see, Pearse was never very good at ironing clothes).  Pick yours out by clicking HERE. 

 

 

 

 

 

We`ve some great news on the way for our Bodyboarders...2 new brands on the way!  Can`t say much about it at the moment as our competitors are reading this (hi guys...welcome to bigsurf.ie!), but lets just say you`ll all love them!

 

 

 

 

If you`re in the Mayo area, call in to our buddies at Elements Kitesurfing.  They just launched a new school, and are riding the very best of RRD kites and RRD kiteboards.

 

 

 

 

 

Steve, Mark & Pearse went on a long distance windsurf trip last weekend.  According to Steve`s GPS, he clocked 48nm in the round Whiddy Island trip.  Check out the GPS track...  Track your path with a GPS available HERE.
