COVID - 19
Due to the current crisis we are currently closed for all activities, however we will be looking at a phased reopening beginning in July.
We have taken all things into consideration and communicated with the National Governing Bodies as well as the Health and Safety Authority and have set out our procedure for a phased reopening in line with the Government Roadmap which can be viewed here.
We will be implementing some changes to how we operate as we move through the phases and we will be closely monitoring the situation as it changes.
As of now we have cancelled our first 4 summer camps but we will be opening our doors in the beginning of July when phase 3 of the Governments Roadmap begins, for rentals and small groups. We hope to run our first Summer Camp on the 20th of July during phase 4, and we are currently taking bookings for all summer camps from that date onwards. The situation is constantly changing and if for any reason these Summer Camps cannot go ahead then we want to assure you that all deposits and payments are fully refundable or transferable at your discretion.
Our number one priority is always the safety and health of our customers and our instructors as we continue to monitor the situation moving forwards.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Testimonials
Rob
"Doane and Tal are brilliant instructors. Doane has coached me from when I started kayaking until I did my level 4 training. He always has something new to teach you. He makes progression fun and rewarding at all levels. Tal is an awesome windsurfing instructor who makes even the most complicated sounding windsurf theory simple to understand. His well structured lessons will have you planing in no time! I would absolutely recommend them to anybody interested in adventure sports, or anybody who wants to progress to the next level"
