Evening Entertainment

You will have a weekend week full windsurfing food and good fun. We are lucky to be locted very close to Spillanes, Fitzgerlads and the Green room so you will certainly get your fill of amazing Spillane's Steak and Guinness (if this isn't your first trip to Brandon Bay, Im sure I have poured you a few pints before !!).

Kit to Bring

I would check the forecast before setting off, message me for advice. But generally, I would bring everything you have !

oh and don't forget your foil.. and your surfboard .. it's going to be a full van !!

This time of year i wear a 4mm, I think its perfect, No need for hoods or boots.

ACCOMMODATIon

The Lodge Besides Jamie Knox's shop will be our base camp for this clinic. We will be based on the Maharees, within walking distance of the beach and Spillane's pub. This option allows all participants to to stay together in self catering accommodation.

There is also plenty other option in the bay if preferred, I can help you to organise accommodation and travel help if needed. Please email me with any queries.

VAN RENTAL ?

Flying in ? The camp will require moving from Spot to spot depending on the forecast, So it will be important to have (or share) your own transport.

When coming by plane the best option will be to look for a rental van (it's cheaper than car rental) at the airport.

Please find some reference pricing below for 30+ drivers:

HERTZ VAN RENTAL: (vans are cheaper than normal cars & fit 3 people)

1 week rental : Small van €250 -€300

Big Van €300 - €350
