What to expect

Private lessons offer a flexible and personalised way to learn for beginners up to advanced. Located just 5km from Galway City, your sheltered, shallow bay provides safe, ideal conditions for learning at your own pace. All sessions include a safety briefing, step-by-step coaching, and full equipment: wetsuits, boots, buoyancy aids, and all gear needed.

For kayaking and paddleboarding, lessons focus on building confidence and control or tours into Galway Bay. You’ll start with a short intro on land, covering balance, positioning and paddling technique before heading onto the water. From there, you’ll practice moving efficiently, steering, turning and stopping with guidance throughout. These sessions are ideal for beginners or anyone looking for a relaxed, social experience while improving their skills.

Windsurfing private lessons are more structured and technique-focused, ideal for those looking to progress quickly. Sessions combine land-based simulator drills with on-the-water coaching to develop balance, sail control and board handling. With private instruction, the pace is tailored to your level, allowing for faster progression from beginner through to independent sailing.
