Introduction to Kite Surfing in Dublin
Kitesurfing has a growing community of young and old riders alike, making it a sport for everyone. It is an adventure surface water sport using a leading edge inflatable kite to propel a rider across the water using a kite board. It can be practiced in various wind and water conditions. In Ireland we are lucky enough to be surrounded by some of the best Kitesurfng conditions in the world, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. So if you are looking for flat water or big waves we have it all. Our sunny seasons are short but our wind season is all year round, so you will see many kiters braving the Irish waters “off season” when the wind is blowing favorably!
