What we have at Aloha is a small, dedicated, rootsy surf school that really takes the time to teach people to surf and understand the surfing experience. 

We're not interested in churning people out. We won't take you out in a massive group and give you little to no surf coaching. Our team, all passionate surfers, really take the time and care to ensure that everyone that comes to surf with us has a good time and go's away a surfer with a newfound look on the ocean and the sport..or lifestyle.. that is surfing..

Our coaches are ISA Level 2 Surf Instructors, which means they are qualified to teach from beginners up to intermediate surfers.

Level 1 instruction is for beginners who are coached in white water surfing skills including instruction to equipment, beach safety, paddling and catching waves, popping up, riding whitewater and traversing white water. These skills are learned on special soft boards for learning. 

The Level 2 instruction guides the intermediate surfer from white water to unbroken waves introducing skills such as duck diving, catching unbroken waves, riding in trim and basic manoeuvres. These skills are learned on hardboards.

Aloha Surf School is run by Peter Hynes who started out surfing nearly 20 years ago here in Fanore.  In pursuit of his passion, Peter has surfed in locations all over the world and after many years living abroad both in France and South America, he now spends most of his time at home, enjoying the quality surf Ireland has to offer, running the surf school, teaching people to learn to surf and introducing them to the surfing experience.
Like the rest of the team, he is both a qualified RLSS Beach Lifeguard and Irish Surfing Association Level 2 Surf Instructor.

Aloha also help run the No Limits Surf Club - "Abilities not Disabilities". No Limits is a not for profit surf club for kids with special needs and is run by the Aloha Surf School and a dedicated, enthuasiastic bunch of volunteers who give up their time, energy and expertise to share their love of the ocean and the enormous benefits that it brings to these young people and their families.      www.nolimitssurfclub.com
