Background:

Neil Britton, head surf instructor and owner of Fin McCool's, comes from a family of surfing pioneers in Ireland. His grandmother, Mrs B bought a surfboard from some travelling surfers in the 1960's as a facility for the guests in her hotel, unaware that surfing would become an obsession for her sons and grandchildren. As with many of the Britton family, Neil has surfed on the Irish team and has judged surf contests internationally. In all his years travelling the world as a surfer, Neil has never seen a beach more ideal for a surf school.
 
It is not unusual for up to 6 members of the Britton Family to be instructing at the School. At any one time you could have 2008 Irish Senior Champion John ‘JB’ Britton taking the kids out for a lesson or Fin McCools Surf School provides lessons for all standards of surfers and runs daily Kids Surf Camps during the summer months. The surf school is fully approved and insured by the Irish Surfing Association and the shop is stocked with most leading brands and items.
