Had a brilliant weekend with a few of the volunteers from the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group🐬
They do amazing work locally and around Ireland with helping dolphins and whales 🐳

Everyone always wants to help wildlife in trouble but not as many people would have the experience/knowledge to notice when they themselves are in trouble and even less would be able to deal with danger situations in the ocean 🌊

So it was a great opportunity to teach a few of them about water safety and award them with an RLSS Water Smart Award 🥇

Let’s hope they can go forward with that knowledge and save some dolphins 🙏

Thanks for the opportunity and hopefully start of more work together

And that’s a wrap folks for the 2025 summer season 🥲

It’s hard to believe that was my 7th summer with Tonn Nua Surf School 🤯
As always thanks to everyone who joined me, Dan and geimhreadh 🐶for a surf over the last few months 🙏

Won’t be as active on social media the next couple of months between lifeguard courses, surf and travels it’s hard to find the time to pick up the phone 📴
But I’m working on something new for next year and will be letting ye all know the craic when I do 🤓

Go raibh mhaith agaibh 🤙

Some very kind words about the surf lessons have been coming in 🙏

We don’t do it for the praise but all the while it’s still great to hear we are doing it well 🌊

Full review below ⬇️

Thanks Declan
We had a really good time; both my wife and I had done some lessons before, to varying degrees of success, but always fun. For the kids it was their first time trying it, and we were a bit concerned that our son, who is very sporty and competitive yet self critical, would become annoyed and frustrated if he didn't succeed in getting up and going - our fears on that were needless - he was up and surfing on his first or second wave and delighted with himself!

Dan was probably the best instructor we've had - never before had we been brought through a warmup before getting going, and personally being in the process of recovering from a ruptured achilles, I was very happy to see this being done to get the bodies warmed up - though thankfully it was a nice sunny day already so we didn't have much to do.

The kids had an absolute blast, as we hoped they would - so much so that we went back to try rent boards the following day but it was all closed up unfortunately and we left Belmullet with just the one session, but hungry for more!

Thanks and good luck with the business!

Obviously I’m biased with my surf lessons and surf camps

But here’s a review from a previous parent 🤙

Just wanted to give you some feedback on our Surf lessons my 2 children had with you last week. Simply put - they had a ball! They said Declans lessons were great fun, they learned a lot and slept like logs after it. Very well done, organised and supervised. Could not recommend the lessons higher. If you want some exciting fun for your children and/or yourselves, give it a go! Great value too!!
Thanks Declan,

Love hearing the kids had a great time on the surf camp and delighted to hear they slept well after 😴

Delighted to be able to help Gemma and the rest of the crew of volunteers from IWDG launch a stranded dolphin at Glosh last week.

No matter how many times I’ve been in the water near or with dolphins it’s always an amazing experience.
Felt great to be able to help a dolphin back into the water after finishing up from a surf lesson.

The full article on their website is a good read and shows how much work the local volunteers do to help.

Thanks Yvonne for the photos
