Surf’s up

THERE will be a lot more to catch the eye in the waters off Dingle this week than a certain dolphin when Brandon Bay plays host to windsurfing’s 2002 PWA Irish Wave Grand Prix.

From tomorrow, for a week, more than 80 of the world's top windsurfers from 20 countries, will be descend on Castlegregory with the aim of being crowned Wave World Champion and pocketing 65,000.

Leading the field will be last year's Andorran-based world champion Bjo¨rn Dunkerbeck while current Irish wavesurfing champion Oisín Van Gelderen, from Skerries, heads the Irish challenge.
