Surfing in Donegal

The Bundoran Bodyboarding School is the only surf school in Ireland dedicated to the sport of bodyboarding. They provide body-boarding lessons at three main stunning surfing beaches around the Bundoran area to make the most of the surf conditions.

As part of the Irish Surfing Surf School Program, they follow the Irish Surfing Association guidelines so you can be reassured that you are in good hands and that you will have a memorable experience. Their mission is to promote a safe and professional practice of the sport of body-boarding to the general public.

They pride themselves to provide warm wet-suits and quality body-boarding gear so you can make the most of the waves. Body-boarding is an extreme sport in hollow waves with very athletic requirements, however it is also the safest and easiest way to introduce novice to the surf environment. It is also an alternative to stand up surfing for those finding it overwhelming at the start or frustrating on the longer run.

Bodyboarding is empowering because of the relatively quick learning curve. The use of flippers is key to a safe practice in deeper water and with a bit of practice and sound instructions, you will be catching green waves out the back in no time. The transition to stand up surfing will also be greatly facilitated due to your wave knowledge garnered while bodyboarding but you might choose to take your bodyboarding to the next level instead! Try the beginner lessons and they will make sure you have the best possible start in your wave riding adventures!
