Our beginner surf lessons at Strandhill Surf School are designed to get you up and riding in a fun, safe, and supportive environment — no experience needed!
Located right on Strandhill Beach, we’re in the perfect spot for learning to surf. Our experienced, ISA-qualified instructors will guide you through everything you need to know, from understanding the ocean to standing on your board and catching your first wave.

Then it’s into the water for hands-on coaching and plenty of wave time to practice what you’ve learned.
