My daughter and I had recent first time lesson here with Jude and Aloha surf school and had a brilliant time. Will go again for sure!

Ben Morrison , August 2024

Great location, good surf, really friendly and attentive instructors with cake and coffee to round things off. Had a brilliant afternoon surfing with Aloha. Son wasn’t sure before we arrived, but as we drove down and he saw the awesome surf he immediately changed his mind. Peter and Ali quickly had us kitted out in wetsuits and bootees, and we headed down to the beach. It’s a wonderful location - gentle sloping beach meaning we could start off in knee-waist deep water (this was our first time ever) - felt very safe - before venturing slightly further out. We had really good instruction from Jude (a former student at Aloha, who just loved it so much he kept coming back until they made him part of the team!) - we both got up on the boards fairly quickly and had an absolute blast. Our hard afternoon’s play was adequate justification for us to tuck into delicious smoothies / iced coffee / doughnut etc from their coffee van ‘Skylarks’ - really hit the spot. Son seems convinced he was the superior surfer - looking forward to a return trip, when we can test this again 😀

Our highlight of a full week staying in Galway with two teenagers was a surf lesson at aloha surf school. It was a beautiful ride through the Burren, a good surf spot en very friendly people! Instead of only the teenagers we joined the class as well! Family Fun! Thanks for this advise! We loved it!

Aloha Surf School at Fanore beach was an absolute hit with our family during our stay in County Clare! Beautiful spot, lovely waves and the instruction and care provided the surf team was excellent. Very safe and superb fun. Will recommend highly to anyone heading to Wild Atlantic way. Thanks a million!

Samantha McMahon , July 2024

My son (nearly 8) and I had a great time with "Aloha Surf School"! They were all very kind and motivating in and outside of the water! They took their time to explain everything and gave individual tipps in the water that helped immensely! Would definitely recommend it for both children and grown-ups, we were both beginners and loved all of it🥰🙏

Family O Kelly , July 2024

Amazing surf holiday enjoyed with Aloha. Ali, Pete and Jude were brilliant. Our boys said they had the ‘best time ever’ and we all can’t wait to go back. We highly recommend taking lessons here. Thank you so much guys, we’ll see you again soon.

katerina kubecka , July 2024

This was an absolutely wonderful camp! My daughter did one week as a complete beginner, never having even touched a surfboard before, she then asked me to book a second week for her because it was so good! She can now stand and turn and do a few tricks on the board, 10/10 would absolutely recommend! A great way to learn to surf and a fun way to spend your summer! The instructors were great and the whole thing was just awesome ❤️👍

Johnny Corcoran , July 2024

Fantastic time with Aloha Surf school. Very accommodating and great for large groups. We were a stag of 10 all with mixed surfing experience and the lesson catered for all. Great beach, great instructors and most importantly lots of fun. We had a great day out and would definitely come back again!

Valéry Gauthier , July 2024

The Aloha Surf School’s instructor was really helpful and wanted us to learn catching the waves by ourselves! It was easy to follow the instructions and the Fanore Beach is perfect for beginners! I highly recommand the Aloha Surf School if you want to learn surfing in Ireland!

Jack Dummer , July 2024

This was an incredible experience! We took the bus from galway and spent 2 hours learning the basics of surfing. The instructors were great and even dropped us off at the local pub afterwards. Highly reccomend.
