SURFING & STANDUP PADDLE
WEEKEND FOR WOMEN
28 - 29 May 2016
Ladies: it’s time to head for the beach and dip your toes in the sea! Rossnowlagh is heating up to welcome hundreds of women to the Irish Surfing Association’s annual Surfing & Stand Up Paddle Weekend for Women.
We welcome girls and women of any age to come along and try surfing and SUP (standup paddle) under the watchful eyes of our skilled team of female surf instructors, including past and present Irish Surf team members. Participants can anticipate a fun, safe and inspirational surfing and SUP experience in the water. Out of the water, new friendships are made and surf stories told during our beach barbecue lunch and Saturday night entertainment.
The weekend is about learning, inspiring others and sharing your excitement and enthusiasm for surfing and standup paddle in an all female environment. The event brings women of all ages and surfing abilities together in a celebration of women’s surfing in Ireland. Whether you are 8 or 80 – if you are interested in surfing or SUP, this is an opportunity to learn more!
Activities include novice surfing and SUP lessons, coaching for improvers, talks on all aspects of surfing, beach barbecue and other entertainment. There is no requirement to book, just turn up and register. Beginners Surf and SUP Session from 11am-1pm; 2pm-4pm on Saturday and Sunday. The weekend is FREE. We will have our team of all-female instructors on hand to guide you. We will supply all the equipment you need to get going. Bring a towel, swimming suit and if you have, a wetsuit, but not required as we will have plenty.
Our Women’s weekend is hosted under the Women in Sport Initiative, run by the Irish Sports Council, to encourage more Irish women to participate in sport.
