Irish Freestyle Team Trials, Curragower Wave

When one thinks of freestyle kayaking in Ireland, the dark, murky feature of Tuam is probably what springs to mind. While this feature has been the catalyst for the renaissance and success the Irish freestyle kayaking team has enjoyed in recent years, Ireland also has a much lesser-known world-class wave called Curragower, which served as the proving ground for the potential Irish team for this year’s European Championships, hosted on Lieksa Wave in Finland.
