Surfing Around the World



For a bigger, more readable version.

While traveling in Europe , I found a little bit of surf culture in just about every place I went. This poster is for surf classes in County Clare Ireland, just off the Burrens. It’s an astounding landscape and I did see some people out surfing while I was there. Wow. What a trip. It’s supposed to be great up and down the western coast of Ireland. I wonder if it’s any colder than the Pacific in winter?

I also saw a surf shop in Chamonix, France! Way up in the alps, at the foot of Mt Blanc there is a surf shop! Boards, wetsuits, the works. I saw quite a few surf fashion shops around Geneve and Wein but actual surfboards for sale in the Alps was just crazy.
