Important Announcement
Unfortunately DMG Sailsports will not be offering our windsurfing lessons and hire for the 2011 season. I would like to thank Malahide Yacht Club, Surfdock and all our customers for their support over the past few years and I hope that we will be able to return and offer the quality of tuition and equipment we pride ourselves on in the coming years.
For beginner windsurfing lessons in Dublin I am happy to reccommend Surfdock Watersports, for a full list of accredited windsurfing schools around the country see the windsurfing page in the training section of the ISA website.
We will continue to offer our 1-2-1 and group coaching to those who already have their own windsurfing equipment and are loooking to improve their skills for information and bookings contact the office on 01-8456946 or email info@dmgsailsports.com

- Understand the weather
- Make sure you know what the forecast is like before you go out (as it can be changable!). WindGuru is a great site that gives specific information for Malahide Estuary
- Know your limits and if in doubt, ask a professional (most instructors / schools are happy to give advice)
- Let someone know where you're going and when you'll be back. Don't windsurf alone - its a lot more fun with others anyway and safer that way. Accidents happen. Support is good!
- Get some training
- As with everything else, there are tips and tricks that can help you develop more quickly than when you're trying to figure it out yourself
- Check your equipment
- It's not always wise to buy the cheapest equipment you can find. If you're not sure, ask advice from an experienced windsurfer. Make sure the equipment is of good quality and suitable to your level. Have the right clothing for the conditions i.e. winter wetsuits, harness, buoyancy aids
