I had a fantastic private surf lesson today with Harry. He was patient, clear, and really took the time to guide me through everything in order. The conditions were perfect — calm, consistent waves and beautiful weather. The gear was excellent and so warm that I could have stayed in the water for hours! As an adult learner, this time of year is ideal — the beach was quiet, and the waves were just right for building confidence. Although I’ve surfed before, I needed a solid refresher, and with Harry’s advice I was back up on the board in no time. Couldn’t recommend it more highly!

We did a day trip from Dublin to Surf Shack for our u14 camogie team last week. The girls had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We were well looked after by Harry, Beth and the rest of the team. Would highly recommend as a team building event for any club.

Great experience with great people Our six-year-old did a 3-day surf camp with these guys in Curracloe in August and he loved every minute of it. The group was pretty big, about 14 kids ranging age from 6 to 12 or 13. The teachers were all super friendly and very thorough in their instruction. The weather wasn't the best and the water was freezing, but the atmosphere was great and he had a ball. Managed to stand up and ride his first wave on day three!

Totally recommend Surf Shack Ireland! They were super helpful with my surfboard and wetsuit rental. Chill dudes with a full crew of minions who have probably been surfing all their lives. It’s not only a surf shop but a true community. Thanks Jack Tim and Dakota for making my east coast Ireland surf a true adventure!

My son Ollie did a two day camp in the surf shack with his cousins he had a blast and said it was the best camp he ever did !! Harry was his instructor and I couldn’t be happier he was amazing with the kids. He is such a great teacher and so friendly with Ollie . Ollie was asking harry about the jellyfish and harry picked one up and explained all about the jellyfish. Thanks again, Katie
