No! Wetsuits provide buoyancy, as do the surfboards that are attached to participants at all times when in the water. Also we will never take any participant into a water depth that they feel uncomfortable in, rarely going beyond chest deep. If you are a weak swimmer please let us know so we can keep a special eye on you.

Our summer camps run throughout July and August each year.

The camp runs over 5 days, from Monday to Friday, for two hours every day.

All participants are asked to meet us at the Surf School 5 minutes prior to the lesson time, where you will be fitted with a wetsuit and sized with a board. Take this opportunity to browse our fully fitted surf shop and check out our gallery of local ‘chargers’ surf the many waves of Donegal.

During peak summer months (July/August) we have lessons daily at 11am, 2pm and 5pm but you should book ahead to ensure you get the time you’d like as they can fill up quickly. Outside these months times can be assigned in a more flexible manner. Please phone in any queries.

Our lessons last for 2 hours. You’ll be in the water for at least 1.5 hours as we’re able to walk straight down on to the beach and into the water.

Lessons are for kids of 8 years upwards. Adults of all ages are welcome.

Our camp runs Monday to Friday from 10am to 12pm and 10.30 to 12.30 every week during the school summer holidays. The morning kids camp, with a maximum of 8 places each often fills up so we then add another afternoon camp from 2pm to 4pm and 2.30 to 4.30. If you have a group of more than 6 we can guarantee an afternoon camp if that is preferred.

The Beach is about 50 metres away from the school by a short public pathway.

Our instructors are qualified beach lifeguards and will have full rescue tube and first aid kit on them at all times.

All our instructors have both level 1 surf instructors and Beach lifeguard Qualification. The safety of all participants is assured during all sessions.
