Ireland was first represented at the [[World Surfing Championship]] in 1966 by Kevin Cavey, which in turn inspired the first [[Irish National Surfing Championships]], held in [[Tramore]], [[County Waterfordd]] in 1967. The first [[Irish Inter County Surfing Championships]] was held in 1968, followed by a full Irish team entry in the inaugural [[European Surfing Championships]] of 1969. The growing interest in competition surfing mirrored a general interest in surfing across the island, with the number of participants and clubs growing rapidly throughout the late 60s; by 1970, there were an estimated 400 surfers in the country. This led to the foundation of the [[Irish Surfing Association]] in that year.<ref name="IrishSurfingHistory">{{Cite news|url=http://www.irishsurfing.ie/about-us/our-history.html|title=Our History|work=www.irishsurfing.ie|access-date=2017-04-27|language=en-gb}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://kevincavey.com/irish-surf-history.html|title=Surf History|last=Cavey|first=Kevin|website=kevincavey.com|language=en-gb|access-date=2017-04-27}}</ref> ==Governing body== ''Irish Surfing'', also known as the ''Irish Surfing Association'', is a voluntary organisation that governs the sport of surfing on the island of Ireland.
