My Surfing Experience with Wild & Free
Jono is amazing! We had a 2-1 surf lesson for 2 hours, we could only see an option to book for 3 on the site but as soon as we emailed him he sorted us out. We told him our accommodation and he suggested a beach convenient for us. He was a great teacher, very fun, his lesson was a highlight of our holiday. He even managed to get some action videos of us surfing. A must do!!!

My Surfing Experience with Wild & Free
My 15-year-old daughter and I had a wonderful morning surfing with Jono at Rossnowlagh Beach. Booking was easy, and since he travels with equipment, lessons can be held at different Donegal beaches depending on conditions. For us, Rossnowlagh was perfect for beginners.
The lesson was fun, challenging, and supportive—Jono was calm, patient, and knowledgeable. I even managed to stand on the board by the end, which made it a highlight of our trip. We later tried another surf school, but Wild and Free set the bar. We’d love to return and surf with Jono again. Daniel Trutt
