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!

We’ve come a long way since the 1950s beach bum who would crash right on the shore and eschew creature comforts. No one expected surfers to actually get a job.

The land of coconuts, cinnamon, tea, and coffee, Sri Lanka is a tropical paradise and the most reliable surfing destination in the Indian Ocean. It’s also incredibly affordable and family-friendly, with a surf culture and infrastructure that just keep on growing.
