On the broad sands of Warren Beach, County Cork, SurfnSUP runs mixed‑group beginner and refresher lessons designed to turn first timers and rusty alumni into confident wave riders. Lessons run in a fun, supportive environment where instructors break down technique — from board position and safety to catching waves and the essential pop‑up — over a focused 1.5‑hour session.

THE INSTRUCTORS

Stepwise coaching in a supportive group

SurfnSUP’s lessons prioritize enjoyment and safety while instructors guide participants through positioning, wave selection and the pop‑up, breaking each stage down so learners progress at their own pace.

THE KIT

All wetsuits, booties and boards provided

Everything you need is included — a range of board sizes plus wetsuits and booties — so you arrive ready to learn without hauling gear.

THE AUDIENCE

Open to all ages with family‑friendly grouping

Lessons welcome participants of all ages and aim to keep age‑appropriate groups, with kids from eight years able to join when water confident and accompanied by similar‑aged peers.

What the day feels like

What the Lesson Feels Like

The lesson unfolds as a compact, hands‑on progression: shore briefing and positioning, short paddling and wave‑catching drills, then coached attempts at the pop‑up — all delivered in a buoyant group atmosphere aimed at fast, safe learning.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this lesson suits — and when you might look elsewhere.

1
Beginner AdultsIdeal: structured, instructor‑led progression and all gear supplied make this lesson well suited to adults who have never surfed.
2
Families with ChildrenSuitable if children are at least eight years old and water confident; SurfnSUP tries to group similar ages together and requires an adult present for under‑18s.
3
Solo BookersPossible but conditional: individual bookings are accepted, but lessons require a minimum of four participants — the operator will contact solo bookers with alternatives if a session cannot run.
4
Refresher SurfersGood match: instructors tailor coaching for those who’ve surfed before and want to refresh techniques like the pop‑up and wave catching.
