Welcome to Galway's freshest Kitesurfing School/shop, ready to share the stoke and shred with new kitesurfing students. Stocking the best, newest gear for students. We have gone a step above other schools and invested in premium harnesses, helmets and buoyancy aids to ensure your first time on the water is both safe & Comfortable. At Paddyintheelements we believe in Quality over Quantity, so we only offer 1 to 1 private lessons. This ensures you get what you pay for and quality time on the kite with 1:1 instruction. Other schools in Ireland will do the first land-lessons with 6 students to 1 instructor and the on-water lessons with 4 students to 1 instructor. This severely hampers your learning time, dilutes your instruction and means your're paying for 3 hours of lessons and may only get 1 hour of actual kite flying time. We believe that 1:1 instruction is the most bang for your buck and also the safest on the water. 100% Irish owned and run by passionate kitesurfers. Exclusively stocking North Kites and Vantage Kites in Ireland. Also stocking Men and Womens Mystic wetsuits, harnesses, gloves, booties, hats, helmets. All stock is physically located in Galway city, so no dropshipping or increased shipping costs. Demo kites available for trial and local pickup available or local delivery.

Reply from Paddyintheelements Kitesurfing Shop Galway
Thanks very much Gregory. Glad you are happy with your new beginner kitesurfing board :) hopefully catch you on the water in the future. Paddy
Love this shop. Have everything you need to get on the water. From kites, bars, boards, wetsuits and all the accessories. Plus a load of sweet merch!
Best North dealer in Ireland. Bought a 2023 North Orbit 9m and I’m absolut happy. Had great chats with him before and even after it. He delivered it on time. You’re not sure what you want? He has a massive quiver of test equipment. Try it and buy it :)
Always again
Very efficient and good quality products. I am very happy with my purchase of a Mystic wetsuit and Paddy's advice and the service were excellent. I received my order in a couple of days, and I really appreciate the note he sent with the package. Highly recommended!
Great quality gear at a competitive price on our doorstep. Very happy with my purchase of a Mystic wetsuit and North pump and Paddy's advice and the service were excellent. Will be a repeat customer!
Great shop. I recently bought some gear from Paddy who was very knowledgeable and helpful, he was able to advise me on what product would suit me best. Very friendly and nice. Will be buying all of my gear from here 😊
Bought a wetsuit with Paddy, very easy to deal with, great quality wetsuit. Would recommend
Paddy was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Very easy to deal with and great quality gear at excellent prices.
I won a competition with paddyintheelements for a kiting board. The board was delivered as expected and excellent quality! Paddy is very easy deal with - no issues!
Paddy was great to deal with. Super patient, helpful with the best stock in Ireland. To say I love my new Carve and Orbit kites is an understatement!
Prior to placing an order with paddyintheelements I had some technical questions which were quickly and expertly handled. I found them to be very knowledgeable, responsive and easy to deal with. They also advised if I were unhappy in anyway with either the harness or pump to revert back without delay which is very refreshing to hear! Without hesitation I would 100% recommend them Paddy and his Team.
Bought a kitesurfing kite from here. Really impressed with the knowledge of paddy and his genuinety. Lovely to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble. Great stock of Mystic wetsuits and harnesses, North kites and boards and vantage kites and boards. Will definitely be back
