Learn with the experts
Only
5 minutes from the City Centre, all our courses take place on 42 acres
of clean fresh water in the Grand Canal basin, and are certified by
the Irish Sailing Association.
All you need to bring are your swimming togs, a towel and some old runners
or booties (which we sell in our shop!). We provide you with wetsuits
to keep you warm in the water, and buoyancy aids for your comfort and
safety, so you don’t even need to be a great swimmer!
We also have changing facilities on the waterside for both male and
female participants. These changing rooms are fitted with showers, so
don’t forget the shampoo!
Our team of qualified and experienced instructors are here to make your
time here both highly enjoyable and safe. Complemented by our fleet
of rescue boats it makes the basin the ideal environment for Watersports!
The 2010 brochure is now available. If you would like to get a copy

Learn to Windsurf
 |
Welcome
to windsurfing, the worlds best watersport!
Windsurfing is a unique sport - exciting,
colourful and challenging. It really
has something for veryone, and the good
news is that there has never been a
better time to start. The advent of
the modern widestyle boards and lighter
more controllable rigs has meant that
the image of a windsurfer spending more
time swimming than sailing is now a
thing of the past! Of course you will
still fall in from time to time, but
that's all part of the fun (honestly)!!!
And even if you do fall in the water,
modern advances in wetsuits mean that
you don't have to feel the cold - even
in the depths of winter (ish!).
Surfdock's
Watersports center and shop can cater
for all your windsurfing needs.
We offer courses on modern widestyle
boards in an ideal beginner's environment,
and once you've started there'll be
no stopping you ! We also have links
to advanced courses to keep you progressing
and learning in the environs of Malahide
Estuary.
Ideal for people wanting to start windsurfing,
this course is run over 4 x 3 hour sessions,
covering all introductory aspects of
the sport. Using the I.S.A. "GO WINDSURFING!"
Scheme.
The cost is: € 225
Times of courses can be made to suit
your schedule (we will link your course
with other beginners at suitable times).
