Chasing waves in Donegal: The journey becomes part of the adventure in an electric crossover
Surfers Ciaran O'Reilly, Gerald Arbuckle and Danielle Murphy outside Bundoran Surf Co, a one-stop shop with a surf store and lodgings for surfers visiting the area.
“I love it here,” Danielle Murphy says. “The waves, the wilderness all around. I have no plans to leave.” The zoologist and surf instructor is extolling her love of Bundoran, the small village in south Donegal which has become a mecca for surfers over the last two decades.
In high summer, the seafront here is awash with visitors — beginners mostly — looking to catch their first wave. In winter, the tourists drift away and, in their place, international pros and riders come to stay.
