Beginner Surf Lessons
Surf & Enjoy the Waves with Beginner /Refresher Surf Lessons in West Cork
During the surf sessions, our skilled instructors will break down the lessons to make them easy for you. The first part of our lesson will cover positioning on the board, how to catch waves, and ensure safety. Next, we will move on to mastering the “pop up”. Our instructors will break down the lesson so that you can learn each stage of surfing at your own pace. In the case you have tried surfing before, let your instructor know beforehand so that they can help you.
