ADULT LESSONS

Introductory Lessons | Getting Started | Intermediate Classes | Private Lessons


All of our classes are run by qualified surf instructors. We are a licensed and insured surf school, fully accredited by the Irish Surfing Association. Our aim is to help you learn quickly, while making sure you are as safe and comfortable in the water as possible. Whatever your ability, we guarantee you’ll have a laugh and make your first experience a good one.


Introductory Lesson

This beginner class teaches you how to safely get out and up onto your first wave. Here you’ll be taught in a small group setting of 8 students or less, so you get plenty of hands-on help. To build up your knowledge and confidence, we first start you out on the beach and teach you how to recognize surf conditions and practice your surfing technique before you get into the water.

Getting Started

The ideal way to get started is with three progressive lessons to teach you how to surf and then improve your technique. If we don’t have you standing after 3 lessons we’ll give you free additional lessons until you are. You can surf three days in a row, or spread them out over a few weeks, it’s up to you. Your first lesson will teach all of the basic surfing fundamentals, just as we do in our introductory class, while with the successive two lessons you spend more time in the water improving and expanding your abilities. If you’re looking to build up your confidence in the surf and get up on your feet in no time, this is the way to go.
