Water

Exposed Atlantic bay / beach swell / downwind

Experience

Community route — exposed Atlantic safety planning

Hazards

Exposed Atlantic swell, changing tide, cold water and an 8 km route with no launch encoded by the midpoint pin; plan recovery and verify both beach accesses.

“The Ireland leaderboard records four SUP-foil uploads on this named 8.0 km Brandon Bay course. Pin is the midpoint of the course's public start/finish gates rather than a launch; verify swell, tide, cold-water safety and beach access. Requested-field batch 02 verified 2026-08-01: hazards and exact-versus-nearby resource relationships were derived only from cited row sources; unresolved fields remain explicit.”
