    I have just heard that there might be a surf contest in a Car Park in Dublin the weekend after next. Has anyone heard anything else about this? Sounds a bit odd?

    No it's not a tarp, it is on a FlowRider machine, think it's the first mobile one to come to Europe. Check out http://www.53degreesnorth.ie/surf-festival

    I saw one of them before in the states, they use a really short board so I assume you will get a board there..check out this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMv5uy9Hf-U
    I think that's what it'll be like..

    Only people who live across the road from this flowrider should be allowed to use it.
