Fin McCool Surf School is located mere footsteps from the front door of the Sandhouse on this 2km long slice of sandy paradise and is the Premier Surf School in Rossnowlagh. The surf school provides a friendly introduction to Surfing, Surf Rentals, an enticing Beach Boutique, on-site budget accommodation or just drop in for a cup of tea and some expert local advice. Why not sign your children up for our immensely popular kids camps available all through the summer months?
While Neil Britton set up the surf school in 2006, the extended Britton family have been surfing here since 1965. Find us at Rossnowlagh Beach, only 3 hours from Dublin and the jewel in the crown of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way beaches.
Beginner Surf Lesson
BEGINNER SURF LESSONS
Lessons cost €39 for adults and €29 for kids (from 8 years old up to and including 16 years old).
Each class is 2 hours long, 90 minutes of which is spent in the water. Wetsuits and Surfboards are provided along with one of our fully qualified Irish Surfing Association Surf Coaches who will patiently take you through the complete surf experience. You will learn about water safety, ocean awareness and wave conditions. On arriving at the beach, a 10 minute land drill takes place. This includes some safety as well as a land tutorial on how to catch waves and stand up on a wave. Once the land drill is done, together with the instructor, everybody enters the water where the fun begins.
Book NowKids Camp
Our kids camps have been our greatest success since the inaugural camp in 2006. For those kids who are down in Rossnowalgh, this is the ideal way to become both proficient in surfing and to receive a sensible education in water safety and environmental care of the ocean.
The three hours of the Camp include a daily surf lesson, one hour of general beach activities and refreshments during the day. Once school holidays begin in July, our camp runs Monday to Friday from 10am to 1pm. The morning kids camp, with a maximum of 16 places often fills up so we then add another afternoon camp from 2pm to 5pm. If you have a group of more than 6 we can guarantee an afternoon camp if that is preferred.
