Blue waves, green isle
Ireland isn't the first place that comes to mind when folks think of prime spots for waveriding. But surfers find the breakers on County Clare's shores to be legendary. We're looking at Riley's Wave, a fierce barrel found somewhere between Kilkee and Doonbeg—not far south of the Wild Atlantic Way and the Cliffs of Moher, where wave-shy visitors can appreciate the surf's enormity from a high distance.
