Donegal for 10 days to showcase a spectacle of International surfing. About Eurosurf
The European Surfing Championships alternate each year between
the senior event “Eurosurf” (odd years) and the junior event
“Eurojunior” (even years). The separation into a junior and senior event
happened in 1992. The Euro’s were first held in 1970 in Jersey. 2011
will be Ireland’s 4th time to host Eurosurf, and 3rd time in Bundoran.
The previous Eurosurf events held in Ireland were 1972 in Spanish Point,
Co. Clare which won by England, 1985 in Bundoran, Co. Donegal won by
France, 1997 in Bundoran, Co. Donegal won by Portugal. Until recently
there had been a trend that the winners in Ireland retained there senior
title until the Eurosurf returned to Ireland. England held the title
from 1970 to 1985, then France held it from 1985 to 1997 when Portugal
won the senior title for the first time. They then lost the title to
Spain in 2003, who proceeded to relinquish it once more to Portugal in
2005. Portugal retained the title in 2007 before losing it to France two
years ago in Jersey. Team Skindog will be there in full force again, with Ben hoping to win his second European title of the year! We will keep you updated over the next week! CHECK WEB SITE HERE http://eurosurfbundoran.com/
