COUNTY CLARE SURFERS SET NEW RECORD
Surfers at Lahinch, Co Clare, set a new world record this weekend for the number of people simultaneously surfing one wave. 200 to 300 surfers and 1000 spectators turned out for Saturday's record attempt which took place amidst a party atmosphere at Lahinch Surf School. Officials from the Guinness book of records yesterday confirmed that the previous record of 42, set in Brazil last year, had been broken at Lahinch. The new record stands at 44.
