We ride together. Paddy in the Elements is a family business — Paddy and Laura, two Galway natives (and two dogs who think they run the place). Both of us are from here, both native Irish speakers, both on the water every chance we get. We're not a franchise or a summer pop-up; we're local water people who care about the community we ride with.

Community events we run

• Beginner extra classes — friendly, low-pressure follow-on sessions to lock in the basics after your first lessons.
• Wingfoiling demo days — try the latest North, F-One, Ozone and Core wings and foils on the water at Rusheen Bay.
• Kitesurfing demo days — test-ride this season's kites and boards at Silverstrand before you buy.

Events are posted in the community WhatsApp and below. Ask about the next one →

Try before you buy

Want to demo gear outside an event? Get in touch — we'll sort you out. Ex-demo gear is often available to buy afterwards at a discount, and you can put your old kit toward an upgrade with our trade-in.
