LAHINCH TRIP

Our first weekend trip is planned for the 27th -29th of September, we will be going to Lahinch for some surf kayaking and serious partying. This is a perfect opportunity to try your hand at surf kayaking, and seeing the what the west coast of Ireland has to offer including the Cliffs of Moher. Lahinch is always and Epic trip and the BEST way to meet new people.

The plan is leaving from the boathouse in UL at 6:30, So packing is at 5:00 Friday evening. Plan is stay in Lahinch for two nights in a hostel. Do some surfing in kayaks (same as “normal” surfing except no need to stand). Then return to the boathouse Sunday evening. No experience is needed and we have all equipment, all you need is a towel, swim suit, old shoes to wear in the water, maybe a Fleecey top can be nice to bring too for under your wetsuit and a smile :D.

We will also have a themed night out in the Claremount nightclub in Lahinch. The theme is Heroes , Sidekicks and Villains. And we will have a prize for the best “Comic Book Duo” be that Hero and Villain or hero and Side kick. So talk to friends and make sure you have your matching costumes! Imagination is the key too 😀

Price is €35 includes everything: transport, breakfast (Saturday and Sunday) and Dinner Saturday. The money extra money needed will be for snacks and beverages you may want to drink over the weekend. Wow that’s sooo cheap! I will be taking names and collecting a €15 deposit at the pool sessions this week and next week. Get your money in fast as there are limited spaces and if you aren’t paid up you may miss out.
