Dude, surfing was invented in Co. Sligo, Sligeach means "surfing place." The first jet ski was only invented to tow surfers to waves in Co. Sligo.

I believe it (though I don't know ziltch about jet skis).
Its hard to imagine anyone with a small craft not surfing as they get to shore.
And once they survive it, it becomes the original thrill ride.

Nothing more fun than broaching in the surf in a small open craft except for maybe wrapping a canoe around a rock on a rivah a couple of hundred miles from the nearest phone.

I don't think I'd enjoy broaching in the least, at sea, in surf, on a river- ever.
This is a nice broach though-

And for you traditional boat fans, a model of a Galway Hooker;

In years to come, someone somewhere will look this up and use it as a reference for their assertion that 'Sligeach' means 'surfing place'.

My, the sailcloth lampreys are bad this year.

No! No! Those are sail leeches.

Another shot, different angle.

Who wants to be down in that cold water when you could be on a bike trail up on the safe dry land?

... 'cos of course, 'The Cliffs of Moher' might look like an English place name, but it is in fact 'Thé Clíffs óf Móhér'* which is old Gaelic for "the place where the mountain bike trails are".

I don't see Gaelic for "place," ya sure it don't just mean "crumbling bike trails?"

It's Old Gaelic.

Them waves look cold, like.
