I've surfed in various places in Ireland, Morocco, Portugal, France, Spain, Costa Rica, the Canaries, Australia and Sri Lanka and this is the best surf school I've taken lessons in. It really is a clinic, you can say what you would like to focus on and they will also have some ideas. I would take an absolute beginners course in whichever school or meetup in Bundoran or somewhere. Then if you get interested in the sport and really want to get better, come to Ben's for a week and you will see the difference. Ok for fun surfers, as well, but I would see the most benefit for those who really want to get better. Say what kind of surfer you wanna be and they will accommodate. Awesome place, awesome people.

I've had surf lessons with many different schools and instructors in many parts of Ireland and across the Atlantic over the years, and I haven't yet found any that comes close to the standard of Ben's school. Ben and all instructors are not only knowledgable and great at what they do, they are also a friendly bunch and full of positive vibes. I did the weekend surf clinic with others recently and everyone's level has sky rocketed in less than 48 hours. Everyone in the water was looking at our group and envying us thanks to the helpful instructors Ben, Liam & Bradely. I never thought I'd be able to do what I did on that weekend! Definitely recommended and will be back for more!

Amazing experience! Did a weekend clinic with Ste and I was amazed by not only his level of knowledge, but his eagerness to help me improve. He gave consistently helpful feedback on the water and even helped us read the waves when we were on shore. Plus the whole process was so easy! Even during the pandemic, the shop was well organized and it was simply a matter of minutes from when I showed up to when we were in the water. 100% would highly recommend

Loved it the staff where so nice and they where very quick to what u asked changing rooms where lovley they where like private sheds for each person. They provide you with wetsuits and water shoes I was surprised they had my size I'm size 14 and they had bigger. When thay brought us out on the water it was lovley they had different groups for experienced people and new people. Very good place hope u enjoy it :)

Great service from Ben. Bought a wetsuit here and had great service, both before and after the sale and was happy to take the time to give a bit of surf coaching on the shop floor! We also rented boards which were good quality and in great condition.

A. H.

Great, zero hassle. Went in, got the equipment and off we went to surf for 2 hrs. It was fantastic! Cheap, solid quality boards and comfortable wetsuits. Great facilities too.

I couldn't recommend Ben's Surf Clinic highly enough. Ben and his staff are experienced, educational, clear and always safety is paramount. I love their lessons and although you'll be exhausted you'll also be exhilarated! Booking myself back in after lockdown to dust off the cobwebs off my wetsuit.

K. T.

Great experience.. our 2 children had a great lesson with Simon and Ivan.. friendliness, patience and good humour all the way! (and thanks for the great beach recommendation!)

Attended Ben's 2 day surf clinic over the weekend and found it incredible. Both Ben and Roisin were extremely helpful and professional throughout the weekend and the knowledge shared about surfing has really benefited me. I started the weekend a complete beginner with no real understanding of the basic's and only able to stand by kneeling on the board - I finished the weekend growing in confidence with each wave solely down to the constant guidance and direction from Ben and Roisin over the weekend! Above everything else it was brilliant fun and learned loads - would highly recommend!

It was great, friendly helpful staff, great changing facilities and lovely hot shower after our surf😎

Really enjoyed our session with Ben s surf clinic. As a complete begginers we learned thing or two and will be trying surfing again. Staff and instructors were very friendly and helpful which made our experience even more memorable👌.

Had a lovely weekend in Lahinch. Rented surfboard and body board here. It was such a great idea. Bens surf place were very friendly and helpful. Our wetsuits were sooo cosy and we had an exhilarating few hours, such affordable fun. Went back on Sunday and purchased a dry robe for my kids,almost impossible to find these days, well done.

Ben's took me to the next level. I cant say enough good about his passion for water safety and fun. Excellent coaches and detailed coaching or just some good safe fun🤙

Friends, I've had my share of experience with surf shops from Hawaii to El Salvador and many other points on this planet of ours and I have to say that the service I received at Ben's Surf Clinic was by far the best. I was in there twice during my stay in Lahinch and the staff were kind and helpful. If you get a chance to come out here THIS is the place to grab your gear and lessons.

K.

Great to deal with. Managed to accommodate us and make alternative arrangements after a beach closer. Ben & the team are a great group, our instructor was brilliant too.

W. R.

Highly recommend. Ben is an excellent, detail oriented instructor. He really squeezed a lot of learning into two hours. On the down side it turns out I've been surfing wrong for years and no one told me until Ben 😂. The facilities are nice and an there variety of boards to choose from. Thanks guys, we will be back!

P. G.

Iv had lessons in other surf schools with not much progress , Bens helped me so much it really is the best money spent in a long time and great craic ! Roisin is 100% and really good at her job ! ",)

A. W.

Great lesson and really friendly, experienced instructors. Felt very safe with Ben even in the tricky conditions. Would definitely recommend. Thanks!

We were in Lahinch for a weekend break and my husband wanted to try surfing. I usually don't like to go into the sea but decided to go with it and book a lesson with Ben's surf clinic and I have to say I was so glad I did. Roisin was our instructor and she was briiliant. She broke down the lessons and made it great fun and spent time with each of us to make sure we knew what to do and correct our technique. If I was living closer I would book in every weekend. Highly recommend it.

J. E.

Had a brilliant weekend at the improvers clinic. Ben and Roisin were the instructors, they were super attentive and gave lots of constructive feedback. I would highly recommend.

E. F.

Brilliant surf school, great facilities too! I had picked up a lot of bad habits so it was great to be under Ben's watchful eye during a lesson so I am relearning in a better way! Definitely recommend!

C. G.

THE place to go for rentals. Ben is super knowledgeable and friendly. I’ve surfed all over the world and was so pleased to see a nice (real!) surfboard collection alongside the huge collection of softboards for new surfers. New suits, enough selection to find something that fits perfect, etc. Everyone coming in from lessons was smiling so I’m sure it’s top notch for new surfers, too.

J. H.

Just back from a weekend in lahinch and i honestly cant fault one thing from Ben's surf clinic. The staff are very helpfull and friendly, they really take the time to explain and talk you through everything you need to know and also great equipment. I even got some free knowledge off ben about reading swell forecast! Would highly recommend

This is my second review of Ben's Surf clinic. First time was great, second time outstanding! Mike was spot on with the teaching, knowing exactly what I needed to learn next after transitioning to a fibreglass board. You can't go wrong here!

G. B.

Rented boards and suits here. Staff were very helpful and patient to newbies and facilities are great, perfect location. Thanks a million
