Pure Magic Kitesurfing Achill

Pure Magic on Achill Island, County Mayo, is a kitesurfing and windsurfing base on one of the best stretches of water in the west of Ireland.

The island’s beaches and bays combine reliable Atlantic wind with sheltered shallow water, and the centre runs lessons and courses for beginners through to improvers, with equipment hire for those already riding. Accommodation and food are part of the set-up, so it works as a place to stay as well as learn. Sessions depend on wind and tide, so it is worth booking and checking conditions in advance.
