Surf Camps in Ireland

Europe may not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking about the world’s best surfing destinations, with Hawaii, Australia, and Indonesia often stealing the spotlight. But it’s certainly one of the most impressive.

Walking barefoot on a sandy beach, basking in the sun, jumping into the soothing warm water for a long surfing session, that sure is comforting. But where’s the challenge? Spending up to an hour struggling to get into that tight wetsuit, bone-chilling water splashing your face, getting rained and snowed on, that sounds like much more fun!

Samba, carnivals, football (soccer), capoeira, the Amazon…there are many things that come to mind when thinking of Brazil. But the world’s fifth-largest country is also chock-full of kitespots.

Featured in countless surf movies and magazines, with perfect waves and endless barrels, the Mentawai Islands are one of the most sought-after surf trips on the planet.
