Jack kennedy- Surf Tour Guide
Surfer, Lifeguard, Ocean Lover, Sup Guide

My name is Jack Kennedy and I am a certified Level 2 Surf coach with Irish Surfing association and lifeguard with the Royal Lifesaving Society UK . I have had an obsession with the ocean ever since I can remember foraging for mussels and cockles with my grandparents at the near by estuaries of Kellystown Co sligo, to countless hours above and below the surface playing, surfing, swimming with friends and family.I have spent most of my life traveling and exploring the North west of Ireland and the world for waves .


I am fluent in English,  and very passable Spanish (if I do say so myself). Over the last 9 Years Surf Coaching has taken me from the most southern  points of Europe to multiple parts of Central America and the Caribbean islands . Working in multiple top rated surf resorts and camps at all levels leading us to creating Outback Jack's Surf Guide. My Aim is to provide intermediate and advanced surf lessons around the North west coast of Ireland, tailored to each clients individual needs and desired goals.


As an avid swimmer, spear fisher and stand up paddle board instructor when not found immersed  in the Ocean you will most likely find Jack relaxing , skating, or trying to advance his own Ocean knowledge, Surfing ability and fitness.
