Paddy, owner and Senior BKSA Instructor at Paddy in the Elements

Meet Paddy — owner & Senior BKSA Instructor

Posted by Paddy in the Elements on

Paddy is the founder and head coach at Paddy in the Elements. A Senior Instructor with the BKSA — and part of the only BKSA-recognised kitesurfing school in Ireland — he grew up sailing and windsurfing on Galway Bay and has spent his life on the water here.

Off the water he's an Advanced Paramedic, an ex-RNLI lifesaving crew member and a Level 3 swiftwater rescue technician. That real-world rescue background is why safety isn't a box-ticking exercise with us — it's second nature.

Every lesson Paddy runs is private, 1:1, and built around you. Book a lesson with Paddy →
