Anything else of interest I’ve missed out - Me dad finally got rid of his old Transit after it broke down in Limerick (5 hrs from home). Also like to surf with my brother Jake and Dad at a place nearby that nobody else knows about except a couple of kite surfers. My dad always makes us say we were surfing at either Benone or Downhill.(ha,ha) .
