    a friend of mine got a lesson in sligo but i cant remember the name of the place that he got it.

    i think theres at least 2 places in bundoran to get lessons so im sure someone cud recommend one of them to u.

    great part of the world to start surfing! might start there myself too!

    Just came back from Bundoran tonight (savage fun!) and have to second the Bundoran Surf Co.

    €35 per lesson, which lasted about 2 to 3 hours and then you can rent a board and wetsuit for €20.

    Really nice crowd and they have some decent stuff in the store too, not a wide selection of boards though.

    They do the lessons at certain times and always bring a group of ppl along.

    Theres not much to it really, ive been on lessons with 2 different crowds and it seems to be: spend a few mins explaining basics, parts of board and popping up. Then out into the water and start trying to catch a few waves. The instructor will give u a push-start as well every so often.

    Its not like a snowboarding lesson, if you perhaps have done that. You will pretty much spend the entire lesson learning to pop up.

    Turf n Surf in Bundoran is the best. Two guys, Cillian and Po run the place and it's basically a surf B & B looking right out on to the peak. They provide all the gear and lessons for all levels. A gang of us go down a few times a year and it's a great spot and the lads are sound as!
