         Each session is 3 hours long and there are 2 sessions per day. You can join in both if you like.

 

Numder of spaces :

         5 spaces are available per session ensuring a strong element of individual attention without overwhelming amounts of information. 

Dates:

          The Irish Short Burst Tour runs all year round. Have a look at the list of locations and dates. I hope you can find one that suits you.

Teaching Technique :

           We use a mixture of hands on beach & water work .Weather permitting video footage shot will be shot in the water and out. These can be analyzed and worked on at a later date. There is a world of tricks and skills that are within everyone's grasp with just a little bit of coaching.
