On a day when your email inboxes are overflowing with Black Friday messages, we just published our surf and wind forecast for the weekend so you can plan to get outside and do what you love most.
We’ve opted out of Black Friday for many years, not because we couldn’t use the sales. Like for a lot of small businesses in Ireland, this has not been an easy year and it was tempting to opt-in this time. BUT, for us, as a family-run small business it just is not worth it. Yes, we love a bargain too, but at its core Black Friday goes against all sustainable business practices we stand for and although it wasn’t an easy decision, there won’t be any special deals on the website just for this weekend.
Instead you will find the same great offers we have all the time.
See you on the water soon,
Colin & Nina

The bank holiday is here and the weather like so much of this summer is a pretty mixed bag. While it will be warm on the east coast there won‘t be much in terms of conditions. And in the north west the surf is pumping, but you‘ll definitely be glad to have a Dryrobe!
