Woah, I wouldn't rule yourself out like that at all!
As a Limerick native, are you able to get on the wave?

Nah bru, go for it.

Even if you haven't been there in years you've still got much more experience there than probably all of us except peter.

Actually, it'd be worth going to I-Canoe or Great Outdoors to demo one!
Gower has no rocks or places to damage a boat, so it'd be a low risk demo.
If you picked it up the day before you wouldn't even have to detour on the way down.

A car, maybe two cars can stay in mine on Saturday night. It'll be cool. Would need more notice than just a decision on Saturday though.
