This Saturday, Strandhill comes alive for the iconic Warriors Run — a race that’s as tough as it is breathtaking. Over 1,200 runners will take on one of Ireland’s most exhilarating routes, climbing from the Atlantic seafront to the summit of Knocknarea and back, cheered on by crowds that give the event its unmistakable electric atmosphere.

The Warriors Run

Our Ocean Warrior surf camp is a fun, safe and education introduction to surfing, the ancient Hawaiian sport of Kings and Queens. Your surfers will learn all about surfing, bodyboard, ocean awareness and a whole lot more on our award winning five day camp.

Head instructor Seamus is a Science bodyboards team rider. And lots of our young Ocean Warrior love learning how to bodyboard: a fun, safe and accessible way to catch more waves and have more fun at Strandhill Beach.

We are always super stoked to welcome the management and team from Sligo Rovers out to the National Surf Centre to take a well earned break from football training to try something completely different.

The lads maybe masters on the pitch, but they did very well learning how to master the waves with a bit of expert tuition on the sand with our coaching team.

If you have a sports or youth group you think would love a team trip to Strandhill to learn to surf, get in touch with Seamus by email: [email protected]
