Summer SUP West Cork offers SUP lessons, rentals, summer camps, certificate courses, SUP tours. They also take groups of up to 10 people or more with notice. Summer SUP offers pop up events such as fitness classes, pilates and yoga, all on the stand up paddle boards.

Lessons are held at the tiny hamlet of Crookhaven which lies about as far down in South West Cork as you can go. Crookhaven is tucked snugly on the sheltered side of a narrow neck of land which creates a deep inlet known as the 'crooked haven' which gave the little settlement its name.

It's the very epitome of a sleepy fishing village. Brightly coloured boats bob at anchor and pastel coloured cottages slumber in the sunshine along the sloping street. There is also a small campsite, village shop and pub.

Crookhaven's golden sand, crystal clear water and sheltered waters are idyllic for stand up paddling, whether you are a beginner or looking to increase your skills or you just want to take in the beautiful scenery all around.

With Muirti and his instructors knowledge of the local waters, their passion for SUP and vast array of qualifications and experience, your time with them will leave you thinking "Life is better on the water".
