Bundoran Surf Camp

During Easter and the summer months they run a kids surf camp, Monday to Friday, 9.30-12.30. The ages are normally 10-16, but 8 and 9 year old kids are welcome kids if they are accompanied by a guardian, to ensure they are comfortable in the water and in case they need help with wetsuits and boards. Instructors are on hand at all times. They ask that parents/guardians of all kids fill out a parental consent form for the surf lessons. All boards, wetsuits and instruction included in price. Also includes transport to and from beach, changing facilities, hot showers, hot drink and snack. New for 2009: They are also offering surf lessons in the Portnoo/Ardara area. Tramore beach between Ardara and Portnoo is the main location for lessons as it picks up even the smallest swells. Kids camps in the mornings at 9.30. All boards, wetsuits and instruction provided. Adult lessons also. Junior surf school this year they are also running a white water Surf Skills Award, which has been developed by the Irish Surfing Association. The Surf Skills Awards allow each surfer to see their progress through six levels and gain certs to show family and friends. Surfers start off with the White Water Award, which covers the fundamentals of surfing and can be done in the Junior Surf Camp. Once completed surfers can progress to the Junior Surf Academy. Lessons are fun yet progressive in a secure environment, with experienced and qualified instructors. They use soft boards for the beginner lessons, but as kids progress they can get them to try other boards to improve their skills and they can join the Junior Academy. Kids camps are open to all kids - they can choose if they would like to go for the ISA Awards or not.
