Meet The Pioneers Of Surfing In Ireland | Made in Ireland Part 1

Red Bull

In Chapter One of the Made In Ireland documentary, you'll get to meet the people who put board-riding on the Emerald Isle's map and find out how they're taking it to the next level. The Made In Ireland documentary (from Irish filmmaker Mikey Corker) brings us the true story of Irish surfing, from its beginnings with Barry Britton to its bright future with big wave chargers like Conor Maguire. “I kinda miss the old days when we were regarded as beach bums,” says Irish surfing legend Barry Britton in new documentary, Made In Ireland. The 64-year-old is seen sitting in his home in County Donegal, in the Republic of Ireland, recalling the winter in the early 1960s when his mother, who owned a hotel, returned from California with an order for a handful of Malibu surfboards. “We took over the surfboards,” says Britton, “and the guests never got looking at them.” After we're introduced to the torchbearers of the sport like Britton, Smith, the documentary takes us to the Misfits of Chapter Two, a tight-knit crew that charges Mullaghmore at its meanest. Then, in Chapter Three, we meet surfers from around the world who fell in love with Ireland’s waves and decided to stay. Watch the next 2 parts coming up on Tuesdays on Red Bull YouTube. _ Experience the world of Red Bull like you have never seen it before. With the best action sports clips on the web and original series, prepare for your "stoke factor" to be at an all time high.

Who here surfed in Ireland yet? Leave your stories below.

Nicholas Miller - 5 years ago

Surfed in Bundoran for a couple of days, stayed in the surf lodge with my family, which was fun, good board and wetsuit rentals. Not much swell when I was there, but enough to mess around on, and they had a wetsuit small enough for my little 6 year old girl, who went surfing for the first time. Loved the atmosphere and family vibe.

I accually learned to surf in ireland!

Peter Miller Guitar - 5 years ago

I've surfed in Ireland a bit, First time was a surfing holiday only, other times it was surfing and music tour. I remember getting nice lefts in pretty warm water with only a handful of surfers in the lineup. I'd like to explore it a bit more. Carrying music equipment and surfing equipment can be a hassle though. I feel for the locals who used to have empty lineups. It's a great country

BRACALONEBORDINTEAM - 5 years ago

Never been surfing in Ireland but the next trip will take place there

James Fallon - 5 years ago

Bundoran is the best surf town in the world. Best people with just as great waves. When your a tourist, your the only one and they want you to surf! Beach breaks to point breaks Ireland has it all!

Jono Trimble - 5 years ago

Stopped at all the breaks we could find along the Wild Atlantic Way!

Tom Magee - 5 years ago

I live in Mullaghmore surf everyday after school

James Edits - 5 years ago

Travelled along Irelands Wild Atlantic Way stopping at each break we found! Big rush in these cold waters. Check my past videos from here!

I'm Irish but didn't start surfing until I was like 14 and I surf mainly in lahinch co clare and I remember when I was just starting surfing I was meeting people who were sponsored and big wave surfers and I didn't realise who they were but its just fantastic that we have some of the best waves in Europe if not the world it feels good

Hardcore. Those are some shallow reefs. And the cold. And so much water moving at big Mullaghmore.

Just loved watching this. Cannot wait for Part 2. Brilliant footage of Ireland's best spots. Classic!

Luke - 5 years ago

My favourite parts of this video and thoughts:
[1] - 0:05 - the Irish summed up in one second.
[2] - It is amazing that we need English subtitles for an English speaking country.
[3] - 2:52 He is a small man but got big balls.
[4] - I have never seen so many untanned surfers.
[5] -nearly everytime they go surfing, it is a mission to get ready for a surf (botties, hoodie etc.). I respect that
[6] - 6:16 - this guy shreds.
[7] - lots of his sponsors left him when he decided to change his life. However, it looks as though red bulled stayed or started?

kelzuya - 5 years ago

Great footage

Joseph Hedge - 5 years ago

I used to swim in wales a lot when i was younger and it's damn cold and very dangerous. I imagine the Atlantic coast of Ireland would make that look like a paddling pool.

(We have surf here in Crete but it is a secret, shhhhhhhh....)

Bob Flavin - 5 years ago

Great to see my country shown in such a good light. Surfing has a real history here, thanks to Red Bull for giving us a platform.

Andrew Middleton - 5 years ago

Carl Harverson - 5 years ago

Haha most sponsers are so so stupid. In surfing especially, we love riders who do more than just hit the North Shore or Bali for photo shoots and compos the whole time. We always want to see more of surfers like this who have real interesting stories and character. With most alternative sports it is not just about who's winning compos all of the time. Good to see Red Bull gets it.

I from south Devon in the uk and have been to some of the remote spots around Scotland’s Thurso east n I’d imagine Ireland is very similar!very few surfers/bodyboards if any at all,Beautiful coastline and empty waves! Beats warm water lineups full of pros with huge egos any day of the week!

Best way to troll the Irish...put subtitles under them when they speak English.
