about sup dublin

Born for life on the water.

I have always been on or around the water from a young age. Growing up I spent most of my summers in lovely Leitrim on the river Shannon.

I love all sports and I consider myself to be a very active person. I currently play GAA, hurling, padel tennis and Golf. Although as I am getting older I have also taken up positions as coach / manager and most recently refereeing.
