At Paddy in the Elements, this isn’t just a watersports school — it’s a passion project born on the wild shores of the West of Ireland, on the Wild Atlantic Way.

Established in 2022, we have a wealth of knowledge and experience to look after ye as best we can. We're locals who live and breathe the elements, and we genuinely care about your experience, safety, and progress.

Whether you're diving into kitesurfing or exploring the future of wind sports with wingfoiling, you'll benefit from fully private, Senior BKSA Instructor led 1:1 coaching, expert guidance, and the safest possible learning environment — flat-water lagoons, premium radio communication, and a coach with real-world rescue and emergency experience.

We’re also proud to run the largest stocked kitesurf and wingfoil shop in the Republic of Ireland, so whether you're training or upgrading your kit, you'll find the latest gear from top brands in stock and ready to ride — no waiting, no guesswork.

From the first lesson to your first carve or boost, we’re here to look after you. No egos, no cattle-herding group sessions, no compromises — just authentic, expert-led watersports from people who know these waters and love to share them.

All our instructors are current BKSA accredited instructors. You can find their credentials here- https://britishkitesports.org/training/instructor-list/?firstname=&lastname=dunne
