Bunk Campers sponsor record-breaking big wave surfer Al Mennie
Article by Steve G
Bunk Campers, Irelands largest campervan rental company has recently joined forces with surfing sensation Al Mennie, in an effort to promote Ireland as a world class surfing destination known the world over.
Bunk Campers have provided the world-class surfer with a top of the line 'Ranger' campervan, to aid him in his quest for the perfect big wave.
To celebrate, Bunk Campers is offering 5% off all campervan bookings in Ireland when customers quote 'surf' in their correspondence.
Al Mennie is hot off the heels of his latest world record breaking 90 foot high surf adventure in Portugal, and has recently become one of the world's preeminent big wave surfers. Regularly featured in worldwide surf publications and national news outlets, Al travels around the world, proving that there's always a bigger wave.
The 6ft 5, red haired big wave surfer is currently roaming around Ireland in a Bunk Campers Ranger - a hardy, road tested vehicle perfect for surfers from all over the world. Luckily for Al, the Ranger is spacious inside - allowing him to store a multitude of surfboards, and change in and out of wetsuits within the heated comfort of the van.
Available from Bunk Campers, the Bunk Campers campervan range is the newest, most luxurious fleet of campervans available for rental in Ireland today and is suitable for groups of 2-6 persons.The Aero and Ranger campervans prove to be an excellent choice of 2-berth and 4-berth campervans for surfers in Ireland, as the spacious interiors allow surfers to change indoors, out of the cold.
The entire Bunk Campers fleet comes equipped with gas heating to keep you warm throughout those cold mornings. The spacious campervans also allow for ease of access and storage of surfing equipment and the onboard toilet and hot running shower are also a hit with the surfing community, who spend long periods of time in rural areas.
Ireland also boats the majestic west coast, where counties like Donegal are attracting the eyes of the world with its impressive surfing coastline. Ireland's rugged, undiscovered coastline is a much more appealing, raw and instinctual surfing experience in stark contrast to the well-trodden routes in Hawaii and Australia...
'I'm going to be on the road a lot this winter so having Bunk on board is a perfect fit as I can get all my boards and gear in the Bunk van and stay in it comfortably too. I've spent a lot of time over the years sleeping in my own van with boards everywhere and freezing cold. Having Bunk onboard makes life much easier when chasing huge surf in the middle of winter!'- Al Mennie
Sitting in the doorway of his Bunk Campervan, Al mennie has his eyes firmly fixed on the horizon, on a vigilant lookout for the next big wave.
'We are tremendously proud to be supporting Al Mennie on his big wave quest. A Bunk Campervan is the perfect way to catch those early morning big waves, as Al has proved time and again' - Bunk Campers.
