For thousands of years the waves breaking on the limestone slabs of Crab Island and Doolin point have been peeling off & spitting tubes.
It is only since the early 1970’s that they’ve been ridden by surfers. Since then they have become, along with the Bundoran reefs, the most surfed spots in the country

On the plus side if no success is achieved it sounds like there is potential for a bodyboards heaven with backwashes and wedges :)

That video shows guys maneuvering to get barreled. It would be very easy to not get tubed at all on those waves.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.
