Wave Adventures for Young Riders

Our surf camps are so popular you need to book in advance! We run kids camps during the Easter holidays, summer holidays and bank holidays throughout the year. Learning to surf is a great way for kids to get self confidence, get fit and have a great time meeting kids just like them. Oh and they’re fantastic fun of course! Get your grom into the water and let them catch the surfing bug early – it’ll be a lifelong addiction and a great way to get them out of the house. If your grom is a little on the shy side, we do offer private lessons too.

Our camps are designed specially for everyone between 8 and 17. Maybe your little grom will turn into our next instructor!
Kids can be booked in for a 1 session tester of the surf camp experience or take advantage of the full 5-day package at a special discounted rate. For more info, give us a call on 051 391 011

If you have more than one child who’d love to take part on our lessons or camps, give us a ring so we can get some crucial details for their experience (their height and age influence the lessons). Adults need to stay with their children until they’re fully ready to start the lesson due to child protection, since they might need help suiting up. Please be aware that at any given time the lesson can be shorten or canceled due to health and safety reasons.

Do You Have a Question?

Here’s a quick run through of questions we get asked most. Have a question and can’t find an answer here? Give us a call on 051 391 011 and one of our friendly team members will help you.

What times do you run your lessons?

In our summer camps, it’s usually 10am and 12pm for kids and 2pm for public lessons. Booking is essential so please call ahead to secure your place. However, the majority of our lessons are subject to tide times and can vary day to day (you’ll want the raddest waves after all!) If you’re thinking of booking a particular day, we will let you know what time to arrive at during your booking.

How do I secure my place on a lesson?

Make sure your place is secure by giving us a call and leaving your credit/debit card details.

Do you have private changing rooms

We have a dedicated changing room located at the side of the surf school.

Do you give lessons in winter?

Yes! We are open all year round. Public lessons are limited during the colder months, however private lessons can be booked from 2pm.

Is there a minimum or maximum number for lessons?

Nope, turn up on your own or bring an entire school with you – we can accommodate everyone.

What equipment do you provide?

Winter and Summer O Neill wetsuits, if it’s cold you can rent gloves, hoods and booties. We only use 3 fin soft boards for our lessons, as these are better suited to newbies.

What if you don’t have my size?

We have wetsuits ranging from 8 year old kid suits up to 2xl wetsuits. We cover everything inbetween for both sexes – don’t worry, we can fit you into a wetsuit too!

I want to bring my own wetsuit, that ok?

Yep as long as its a winter weight.

Awesome! How do I book in?

Use our secure online booking system here – see you soon!

What experience level does my child need?

None at all. Our camps are designed for complete beginners, as well as kids who’ve surfed a bit before. We start with the basics and build confidence at each child’s pace. All levels are welcome.

What age groups do you accept?

Kids’ Surf Camps are open to children aged 6–16. We group kids by age and ability so everyone feels comfortable and gets the right level of coaching

What should my child bring?

Just the essentials:

  • Towel
  • Swimwear to wear under the wetsuit
  • Sunscreen
  • A warm jumper or hoodie for after the lesson
  • Water bottle
  • A light snack (optional)

We provide all surfing equipment, including wetsuits and boards.

Is the camp safe during bad weather or rough surf?

Yes. Safety is always our priority. If conditions get too rough, we’ll either move to a safer spot on the beach or run fun land-based activities like technique training and games. If weather makes it completely unsafe, we’ll contact parents with alternative arrangements.

Are your instructors qualified and Garda vetted?

Absolutely. All our coaches are fully ISA-qualified, trained in beach safety, and Garda vetted. They also have years of experience working with children in the water.

What happens if my child is nervous or not confident in the water?

That’s very common, and totally fine. Our instructors are brilliant at helping nervous kids feel safe and supported. We take things slowly, stay in shallow water, and focus on fun first. Most kids find their confidence within the first session.

Can children be grouped with friends?

Yes, of course. Just let us know during booking or on the first morning and we’ll do our best to keep friends together in the same group.

Do you offer discounts for multiple children or multiple weeks?

We often run sibling discounts and reduced rates for kids doing more than one week. These vary by season, so just get in touch and we’ll fill you in on the current offers.

What is your refund / cancellation policy?

If your plans change, we offer flexible options. You can transfer your child to another week (subject to availability) or receive a refund if you cancel within our notice period. Full details are included at checkout and in your confirmation email.

How big are the groups?

We keep groups small to ensure safety and quality coaching. Typically, it’s around 1 instructor to every 6–8 kids, depending on conditions. This gives every child plenty of attention and support.
