Freedom Surf School was founded by Billy Butler a surfer for over 25 years, past member of the National Irish Surfing Team and having travelled to such far off destinations as Indonesia, Australia, France and the Canary Islands Billy has never stopped chasing the waves. Billy’s past experience running a local surf school, keen interest in sport, pride in his local community & the environment has led to the creation of his own surf school Freedom Surf School & Adventure.

Freedom has recently incorporated its love for the Irish language within its outdoor activities. By using sport and the great outdoors to promote and teach Irish, people are finding that the Irish language can be fun and easy to learn within the right environment. There is a powerful link between doing and learning therefore by experiencing an exciting fun outdoor activity and learning a language.

Freedom has also been involved in teaching kids with learning disabilities to surf. As part of the national Surf2heal organisation Freedom Surf School works with kids with autism teaching them to Surf. Part of Freedom’s ideal is to bring the sport of Surfing to everyone.

Freedom Surf School is all about making your experience unique, by providing personal attention, skills and knowledge to the teaching of surfing within a safe and fun environment.
