Surfing

We’ll be running surf lessons and providing rentals depending on your level. Cross beach is a perfect spot for learning and we’ll do everything we can to get you standing on your first wave

SUP

We’ll be taking you guys on a SUP adventure through some of Ireland’s most beautiful scenery, either on the sea or in one of the many lakes.

We’ll be sure to run through the basics of SUPing and run the trip in flat, safe conditions – meaning it will be suitable for beginners as well as experienced SUPers

Kitesurfing

If the wind’s blowing we’ll be kiting – here’s what we’ll provide

Beginners

One two hour group kitesurfing lesson. Which will cover basic land kite flying, kite set up and safety, water based LEI kite flying and bodydragging if you’re up to it.

Intermediates

One two hour group kitesurfing lesson. Which will be decided on according to your level – body dragging, board starts etc.

Independent Riders Without Equipment

We’ll provide two hours of supervised equipment rental including help launching and landing and pointers in the water. Equipment will be usually shared between two riders.

Independent Riders with their own Equipment

We’ll provide supervision and pointers.

Yoga

Whatever the weather we’ll be running our yoga classes every day before breakfast in our brand new yoga room with its spectacular view

The BigStyle Games

More info when you’re down… For the moment just imagine Stand up Paddleboarding meets gladiators

Bonfire

We love a good bonfire and we’ll be sure to get one burning on one of the nights if the rain stays at bay… and where there’s a bonfire there’s a music session.

This is the stuff that we’ll do if the weather doesn’t allow for the main activities… but they’re still class.

Coasteering

This is where we put on helmets, wetsuits and buoyancy aids – then we jump off cliffs and swim through caves.

Hiking

If the weather isn’t playing ball for watersports (which is rare out wesht) we’ll dust off our hiking boots and take on Croagh Patrick – Ireland’s famous Holy Mountain.

Friday

The drivers should be leaving straight after work as it’s a four hour drive, while those going by rail should be on the 18.15 Westport train and we’ll have a bus to meet you at Westport station on arrival.

When we get down to BigStyle’s Atlantic Lodge the team will have food waiting for us weary travelers – all food is vegetarian but if you have any specific food requirements let us know and we’ll make a plan.

We’ll have a few beers at the Lodge and see where the night takes us.

Saturday

We’re up nice and early on Saturday morning, around 8am, then we’ll be running a yoga class first thing in the morning in our fantastic new Yoga studio.

Then we’ll have breakfast in the back lodge and after that we’ll head out to start the day’s adventures, in between activities the Lodge team will serve up some hearty lunch.

After the day’s adventures it’ll be back to BigStyle HQ for beers, food, bonfire, craic, tunes and a fair bit of bejaysus.

Sunday

We might leave the wake up a little later on Sunday but the minute we get up (after a bit of Yoga and breakfast) we’ll be back into the great outdoors for our next adventure.

The aim is to get our activities done by 2 or 3pm and then after a bit of lunch try and hit the road, we’ll also have a return bus heading down to meet the 5.45 Dublin bound train.

We’ll be exhausted… the good kind of exhausted though

Two nights accommodation in either dorms, triple, double or twin rooms depending on what option you go for

Yoga classes first thing both mornings

A very healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner for two days
