    Beginner packages are generally the same price no matter where you get them. The guys at bundoran surf co will talk you through it as I'm sure any decent shop assistant will.

    i used to work in surfworld in bundoran but either of the two shops will have decent assistants to help you. your prob lookin for a mini mal 7'3" to 7'9" depending on your height and weight etc. something that isnt fibreglass to start with anyway like plastic bic used to be around €345 with leash and wax etc. or epxoy like NSP or circle one all good boards but you will pay a little more for them.€60 /€380 the best thing is to shop around but avoid places in dublin because they are slightly more expensive. dont know if this will be of any help. if your in bundoran drop into the bridge bar for a drink or bite to eat best place in town except for the water of course. startin to sound like a tourist guide so will finish on that note

    I haven't fount this to be the case. I have seen the exact same packages in Dublin cheaper than on the West coast and vice verca...

    Boulavard in Dublin do excellent deals on Irish made and other beginners boards. Just go in and talk to them, they will drop well below the asking price if your nice to them!

    i have just found when i look around places in dublin they are slightly more expensive because i used to work in a surf shop and we would compare market prices and the east varied alot from the west but that is just my opinion you could be right
