Windsurf Lessons Galway
Our Intro to Windsurfing is perfect for total beginners or for someone who's had a long break.
We move at your speed so you learn as much as you can take in each session. Participants take the "beginner" lesson option for their first session and then join in for the "all levels" lessons for subsequent ones.
Each lesson is 2 hours long and includes lots of on-the-water time as well as some important simulator and technique sessions on land. All equipment is supplied - just bring your shorts/togs and a towel!

The Aran islands block waves coming into Galway Bay making it hard to go surfing anywhere in the bay but making it the perfect spot to learn to windsurf.
WINDSURFING IN RUSHEEN Bay
Rusheen Bay is a sheltered, not-too-deep inlet off Galway Bay - an ideal place to learn to windsurf.
Because the bay is almost completely enclosed, it's one of the safest and easiest possible places to learn how to windsurf.
The flat water is perfect for progressing and some of Ireland's best slalom sailors and freestylers choosing Rusheen Bay as their home spot for training.
Learning To Windsurf Galway
We use the newest and best teaching methods to get you windsurfing as quick as possible.
We do lessons and courses for individuals and groups.
As an ISA windsurfing school, we run ISA Go! Windsurfing courses, complete with an ISA log book.
Progressing In Rusheen Bay
So what happens when you're done with the basics and you're ready for the next step?
We're ready too!
Literally hundreds of windsurfers have improved their windsurfing with us. No matter what your level, we can help you improve.
Important: Windsurfing is a weather dependent sport. That means that wind, tide and other weather factors can interfere with activities. We do the best we can to stick to the schedule but we're more concerned with safety than anything else.
