Advice on surfing holidays
WOMAN:
Jack, I'm thinking of taking the kids to the seaside on a surfing holiday this summer and I wanted to ask your advice - as I know you're such an expert.
JACK:
Well, I don't know about that, but yes, I've done a bit of surfing over the years.
JACK:
I'd thoroughly recommend it.
JACK:
I think it's the kind of holiday all the family can enjoy together.
JACK:
The thing about surfing is that it's great for all ages and all abilities.
JACK:
My youngest started when he was only three!
WOMAN:
Wow! But it's quite physically demanding, isn't it?
WOMAN:
I've heard you need to be pretty fit.
JACK:
Yes. You'll certainly learn more quickly and won't tire as easily.
WOMAN:
Well - that should be OK for us.
WOMAN:
You've been surfing a few times in Ireland, haven't you?
JACK:
Yes. There's some great surfing there, which people don't always realise.
WOMAN:
And which locations would you recommend? - there seem to be quite a few.
JACK:
Yes, there are loads.
JACK:
Last year we went to County Donegal.
JACK:
There are several great places to surf there.
WOMAN:
What about in County Clare?
WOMAN:
I read that's also really good for surfing.
JACK:
Yes, it is.
JACK:
I've been there a few times.
JACK:
Most people go to Lahinch.
JACK:
My kids love it there.
JACK:
The waves aren't too challenging and the town is very lively.
WOMAN:
Are there good hotels there?
JACK:
Yes - some very nice ones and there are also a few basic hostels and campsites.
JACK:
It's great if you need lessons as the surf schools are excellent.
WOMAN:
Sounds good.
JACK:
Yes and there's lots to see in the area - like those well-known cliffs - ... I've forgotten the name of them ...
WOMAN:
Oh don't worry - I can look them up.
JACK:
I've also been surfing in County Mayo, which is less well-known for surfing, but we had a really good time.
JACK:
That was a few years ago when the kids were younger.
JACK:
There's a good surf school at Carrowniskey beach.
WOMAN:
How do you spell that?
JACK:
C-A-double R-O-W-N-I-S-K-E-Y.
WOMAN:
ОK.
JACK:
I put the kids into the surf camp they run during the summer for 10-16 year olds.
WOMAN:
Oh right. How long was that for?
JACK:
Three hours every day for a week.
JACK:
It was perfect - they were so tired out after that.
WOMAN:
I can imagine.
JACK:
One thing we did while the kids were surfing was to rent some kayaks to have a look around the bay which is nearby.
JACK:
It's really beautiful.
WOMAN:
Oh, I'd love to do that.
WOMAN:
Now the only time I went to Ireland it rained practically every day.
JACK:
Mmm yes - that can be a problem - but you can surf in the rain, you know.
WOMAN:
It doesn't have the same appeal, somehow.
JACK:
Well, the weather's been fine the last couple of years when I've been there, but actually, it tends to rain more in August than in the spring or autumn.
JACK:
September's my favourite month because the water is warmer then.
WOMAN:
The only problem is that the kids are back to school then.
JACK:
I know. But one good thing about Irish summers is that it doesn't get too hot.
JACK:
The average temperature is about 19 degrees and it usually doesn't go above 25 degrees.
WOMAN:
That sounds alright.
WOMAN:
Now what about costs?
JACK:
Surfing is a pretty cheap holiday really - the only cost is the hire of equipment.
JACK:
You can expect to pay a daily rate of about 30 euros for the hire of a wetsuit and board - but you can save about 40 euros if you hire by the week.
WOMAN:
That's not too bad.
JACK:
No. It's important to make sure you get good quality wetsuits - you'll all get too cold if you don't.
JACK:
And make sure you also get boots.
JACK:
They keep your feet warm and it's easier to surf with them on too.
WOMAN:
OK. Well, thanks very much …
