Malahide Wave or Trainspotting for kayakers

surging through the bridge arches of the main Dublin to Belfast railway line, across the estuary, through which the Broadmeadows river flows.

With no 'river bank' to get to, it was a 20 min swim before I got back in the boat!! ... kayak roll eskimo silverbridge club ...
