Safety

Knowledge and etiquette lead to more fun!

Surfing is an adventure sport with an inherent element of risk. However, this risk can be reduced if some basic safety rules and etiquette are adhered to by all surfers.

The website of the Irish Surf Association contains detailed guidelines and the below section should be consulted:

Safety-environment and safe-surfing

This post is not a definitive statement on safety from the ECSC but we strongly recommend that every surfer become familiar with, and abide by, the ISA guidelines before heading out.

If all surfers follow basic safety rules & etiquette and develop an understanding of different spots, conditions, rips etc. the sport will become more enjoyable.

Knowledge and etiquette will always lead to less danger and more fun.
