Sometimes the Irish weather can get the best of us – but with these Indoor Adventures you’ll be getting your adrenalin fix in no time!

Stand Up Paddleboarding or SUPing to the pros is a relatively new adaption of the water+board family.

I was greeted by Richard, the Venezuelan who would be guiding around…
Sounds like a crazy idea – but until you’ve tried Urban Wakeboarding you’ll have no idea how great it can be.

‘Hey I’m Pawel!’ ’Hey everyone this Pawel, Pawel this is everyone…’ That is how it started. We got to know each other names, got in the bus and got moving. Time to surf in Ireland! The weather was great, beautiful cloudy sky and constant drizzle, typical Ireland. We had a long way ahead of us,…
The shoe was on the wrong foot 2 weeks ago I was working with my Manager (Renata) at reception one early Sunday morning in Isaacs Hostel. Now I won’t mention if any of us were suffering from the usual Saturday night dose of “food poisoning”, but needless to say we were not as shiny as…
