Kitesurfing

Kite surfing has become one of the fastest growing water sports in Ireland, recently spotlighted by its entry into (and subsequent retraction from) the 2016 Olympic games. The kite surfing “season” usually begins in March and ends in November. However, you will see many kiters braving the Irish waters “off season” when the wind is blowing the right way! It is an amazing sport with a growing community of young and old riders alike, making it a sport for everyone. Lessons with a fully insured qualified instructor are essential before taking up kite surfing. Tel 087 6755567 for further details.
