Never tried it .... interested in working at it for a weekend... crazy?

Hi all....

I've never surfed. I like the sea. I'd like to try it for a weekend... the idea of just immersing myself in learning for a couple of days weekend (probably just trying to get upright) appeals to me.

Are there beginner weekend surf schools? Should I just hire a wetsuit, a board and a lesson and chuck myself at the sea for a few hours in the morning and afternoon for a couple of days? Am I insane?

Edit: just read sticky. Good points re safety and etiquette. Question still stands; am I mad just trying for a weekend (without a real likelyhood of taking it up a a hobby) or will I just get frustrated and get little out of it?

Not crazy at all. You wouldnt be the first person to try that and you certainly wont be the last

There are certain schools around that do weekend packages but i'm not sure if they're select weekends like bank holidays or every weekend.

Turf & Surf bundoran do some weekends so maybe take a look into those guys ?

Thanks for the reply.

I'm thinking it may be better to avoid a weekend when I presume it'll be busy.

I'll call a couple of places.
