Beginner lessons take place in waist deep water so don’t worry if you aren’t confident in the water. Our Surf School is approved by the Irish Surfing Association, all lessons are fully insured and all instructors are qualified beach lifeguards. Check the video to see what we do.

Changing facilities, hot showers, and a hot drink after the session included. All you need is a towel and swimwear. We use 4/3mm wetsuits during summer season and 5/4/3mm wetsuits in winter. Price includes all equipment, changing facilities, hot showers. Beach transfer are €10 pp.

There are plenty of different surfboards you can try out and if you are thinking of buying a board, renting is an ideal way to try before you buy. If you have your own board you can use it on the lessons.
