 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Class surf school. Have had quite a few lessons here over the last few years and the instructors, equipment and lessons are great. If you want to learn, it’s a really friendly and welcoming school to come and once you start progressing the instructors give you plenty of time during the session. If your worried the waters going to be cold, don’t - wetsuits will keep you warm even into autumn and winter.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great time at Strandhill surf school, the guys here are super sound and shoutout to Fionn who was with us in the water, absolute legend! Super helpful and I caught 30+ waves probably my best day ever. From wheeling the boards down to the beach on a trolly for us - to helping me understand waves and what to look out for. Great surf school! 10/10.

I've had some lessons before and the tips I got from Lorcan were the best and most helpful I've ever received. The owner was also super chill and sound! 10/10 recommend.

Great experience would highly rate staff especially Alex who went out of his way to put on a late lesson for us and was very generous with his time. The lesson was excellent with great energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge from Alex. Thank you
