Bundoran Surf Co, Bundoran, Co. Donegal

This is a one-stop school and shop, catering for all your surfing needs, for all levels of surfers and kitesurfers. The school provides lessons for all standards of surfers, from the first time beginner to intermediate and advanced levels. The surf school is fully approved and insured by the Irish Surfing Association. All instructors are fully qualified, experienced local surfers, who will take you to the best locations.

"Bundoran is, without doubt, the surf capital of Ireland, providing the most consistent and best quality surf in Ireland. There are many quality reef breaks for experienced surfers, as well as numerous beach breaks such as Tullan, Streedagh and Rossnowlagh that are perfect for beginner and intermediate surfers. The main advantage of surfing in Bundoran over other areas in Ireland, such as Lahinch, Co. Clare, is the diversity of surf spots offering offshore, clean conditions in a variety of wind and swell directions.

Tullan, pictured above, is the main beach we do lessons at, as it is a swell magnet and always seems to have waves. On bigger swells we move to more sheltered beaches such as Rossnowlagh. Rossnowlagh, like Tullan, offers a variety of peaks so there is always a wave for everyone. The coastline of Donegal Bay also offers excellent conditions for kitesurfing in a variety of flat water and wave riding conditions."
