My kids had the best week surfing, Jude, Pete and Ali are so knowledgeable and friendly. Both the kids could stand up and ride the waves by the weeks end. I would recommend this camp for any kids it was so fun and they are learning a new skill and learn to appreciate the sea. Thanks guys see soon for more surf

Both my kids..(14 and 10 years old)..said their day at Fanore with Aloha was their favourite part of our entire holiday in Ireland. It was their first time to try surfing and they loved it. Very reasonably priced too.

Great team of people, really look after the kids well and get them up on the boards in next to no time. Son and his friend loved every minute of the lesson.

We brought five girls from Kinvara for the two hour surfing lesson and they are now completely obsessed with the sport! Pete and Jude could not have been kinder and more fun and accommodating! Everything about the experience was first class! We’ll be back, Pete and Jude!!

Ali, Pete and Jude are just all so wonderful! My daughter has done lessons with them for the past five years and the progress has been truly amazing. The lessons are so well organised with a huge emphasis on fun and on challenging each child to reach their own potential. Many thanks to you guys for another fabulous year of surf🙏🙏🙏

Jude is a great teacher! I love that they tell you to first read the beach and sea conditions. Then solid advice when it's needed. 👏👏👏👏
