Irish SUP Classic 2018 -1st for SUP Surf Foil

5 Apr 2018

  • SUP Surf

Tags: Ireland, Sligo, Paul Byrne

The Irish Surf Classic 2018 will be held this weekend (6, 7 & 8th April 2018). An iconic SUP Surf Competition for the SUP Surfers of Ireland and the UK, it was the first competition in Europe to hold a longboard SUP specific category and now is the 1st in Europe to have a sup foil category!

Held on the legendary Sligo coast, Ireland centred around Easky and Enniscrone, a coast where you can consistently bag big waves, clean waters and great surf!
The philosophy behind this event is for all SUP Surfers to come together and surf in a friendly fun environment, while enjoying catching up and having the craic!!

Categories will be as follows:
•Firstimers.
•Ladies.
•Sub 10ft.
•10ft and bigger.
•Masters

and for the 1st year ever a foil category!

Paul Byrne Irish Surf Classic organiser explained to TotalSUP “the competition will be professional as possible but will also have a fun for all element. Some competitors will be asked to help with judging over the weekend, and in the process gain some knowledge on competition surfing and scoring. A judges workshop will be held on the Friday night. Looking forward to seeing you all there, and fingers crossed we get conditions and international attendance similar to last year”.

No registration on the day. Register here for your chance to ride some slick Sligo waves

Entry fee is €15 per event. Happy Surfing!
