Sharing the stoke on the Wild Atlantic Way
More than a shop — we're a community-based kite, wing and foil shop and school, Irish and family-run. We run community events, get people out on the water together, and let you try the gear before you buy. We stock a great range too, and everything we sell we stand by and have ridden hard in real Wild Atlantic Way conditions.
Learn with us and you'll get 10% off waterwear in the shop, plus a discount on kite packages.
