Easkey Right
The Easkey right, next to the castle, long and good quality.
The Easkey right breaks over rock slabs next to the castle ruins, east of the river. With a north-west swell it gives long, powerful rights.
With the left on the other side of the river, Easkey offers an option for almost any southerly wind.
