This Session will take place at Strandhill Beach, County Sligo, on 29th July 2023 at 5 pm in partnership with renowned surf school Sligo Surf Experience. Lessons last approx 2.5 hours from start to finish, including meet and greet, changing time, and a 2-hour surf lesson. A qualified surf instructor will guide you through the entire experience, ensuring a fun and safe experience.

When you are changed, your instructor(s) will guide you to the beach where you will collect your surfboard. On the beach, you will listen to a short surfing demo and safety talk from your instructor. First is a brief introduction, instruction on surfing ABCs with basic water safety, and then a quick practice on the sand before hitting the ocean to practice what you've learned.

What to bring

Each surfer needs to bring swimming gear and a towel for changing. Bringing a backpack for your belongings is also advisable.
