Seaside festival makes waves in Tramore

THOUSANDS of visitors packed into Tramore over the weekend to enjoy an end-of-season festival based around the resort’s seaside and surf traditions.

One of the highlights of this year’s Oceanic Surf and Sea Festival and its programme of maritime events was the free ladies surf weekend, in which 60 women took part supported by the Women in Sport initiative and the Irish Surfing Association.

As part of the weekend’s activities, surf girl novices and advanced wave riders enjoyed the opportunity to discover surfing and brush up on their skills.
