Irish Wave Chasers Week

3rd - 8th November 2025

26th - 31st October 2025

*THE 3-8th HAS SOLD OUT FAST* - I Have added the date 26th-31st OCTOBER -

If you are keen to explore Ireland a little more and see what we have to offer this is the week for you.

I am super exicted for this camp, Why ? becuase I belive here in ireland we have some of the worlds best sailing on offer. Im lucky to have traveled alot of the worlds windsurf destinations and I always dream back of home. I have to say the best windsurf waves I have ever seen have been on magic Irelands west coast.

I have been thinking of doing this style of camp for a while now. This is the "Irish Wave Chasers week'.

The premise of this week is that the group of us chase the best Wavesailing forecast around Ireland's West coast that week.

I have spent years searching for conditions on Irelands west coast and living in diffrent parts of the country I have built up a strong knowledge for the spots and places that can provide some of the best Wavesailing and surfing on the planet.

On this trip you can relax and let me do all of the thinking for this trip, I will be searching through all forecasts to make sure we score the best locations during our dates.

This won't necessarily be about chasing the 'biggest waves' but the best conditions on offer.

The week will run from Sunday 26th to Friday 31st. 6 Days Including 1 "Day off" (if needed). Days will consist of windsurfing, coaching, filming, driving good food and good times with like minded people.

After last years clinic I re-invested back into my filming gear, purchasing a Lumix Gh7 and a great lens. This means we will get some impressive clips for you to take home and to also learn from. I find the better camera helps so much when analysing all the little details.

On the coaching side of things the camp will cater for intermediate to Advanced wave sailors. We will be covering everything from wave sailing basics, reading waves, navigating line up's, perfecting the bottom turn and top turn and mastering the Aerial and so on.

Limited Spaces of 7 People so please book early to avoid disappointment. I can help group people together to share vans if needed.

In my mind the ideal week would look a little like this.

2 or 3 days in Brandon bay.

2/3 days in Magheroarty

1 or 2 days in Mayo towards Belmullet or co. Sligo

Autumn is my favorite time in Ireland. I can't wait to show you around the place I love the most and for us to score some epic sailing.

Where will we be Sailing ?

It is impossible to call just now but the key area's I will be keeping an eye on are Brandon Bay, Co.Clare, Co.Mayo, Co. Sligo, and North West Donegal.. with a whole lot lessen known spots in between ;-)
As i'm sure you can understand I won't be sharing all the spot details online but rest assured i will share my knowledge with you in person.

How will accomdation work ?

We will have to be pretty flexible on accommodation. I will be booking us accommodation according to the spot location we will be aiming for. We will be sharing costs between the group (Split by 7 of you & Me)

Thinking it will roughly between 30 & 70 euro a night give or take.

In each place I will look to book us Airbnb’s fairly late notice and if not possible we have hotels (which for example in Magheroarty they do a windsurf deal for 60 euro a room)

I’ve been getting quite alot of bit of interest in this camp and may already be down to the last free spot so I think we will have good numbers for sharing Airbnb’s which would bring that daily cost down quite by a lot. (but obviously we have to guesstimate on the higher side)

When should I arrive ?

I will be confirming a location the week before the camp begins. Whether you are arriving into Dublin, Shannon, Belfast ect it will be fairly easy to drive to our beginning location. I will also aim to try group us up so we can reduce on the amount of vans needed.

Best would be to arrive Friday or Saturday 24/25nd October.

Gear Rental

I am working on expanding my gear rental for the coming year. I will expect to have boards to rent in sizes 76L, 80,88 & 94L. And Hopefully have full rig’s to rent in most sail sizes up to 5.0. Which should make traveling easier for you !

Expected Level to Join

The level expected to join me on this week would be to have

Confidence in your own sailing skills. (I will be there with you but you also have to have your own ability to sail among head high/logo high waves)
launching through waves
Wanting to sail waves up to Mast High
general wave knowledge
Willingness to explore. Drive/Share driving

I would expect some surfing on this week.
