Over the May bank holiday weekend, members of the Skerries Coast Guard team assisted with the National Windsurfing Festival at Broadmeadows estuary, Malahide, Co Dublin. Weather conditions over the weekend allowed for some excellent windsurfing.
A Coast Guard D-Class rescue boat and crew were out on the estuary providing assistance to any windsurfers who found themselves in difficulty.
The festival also provided members of the public to try out windsurfing in a safe and controlled environment.
The Skerries team also stationed the Coast Guard’s water safety promotion trailer on the shoreline, providing useful advice to the public.
