Learn to Surf
What started as one surfer’s dream has grown into a space where people from all walks of life come to ride waves, share stories, and soak up the wild beauty of Keel Beach. Founded by Achill native Graham Sweeney, Soundwave blends surf, music, and local soul into every lesson and sauna session. It’s small, personal, and all heart — just the way we like it.
Board and
Wetsuit Hire
Already know your way around a wave? Our surf rentals are perfect for confident surfers who just want to grab gear and go. We offer quality softboards, wetsuits, and booties if needed, and we’ll help you pick the right equipment for the day’s conditions. It’s quick, easy, and lets you make the most of your time on Keel Beach with zero fuss.
SUP Lessons
Our beginner SUP lessons are the perfect introduction to stand up paddle boarding. You’ll start with a short land session before heading onto calm, sheltered waters to practise paddling, balance, and turning with guidance from our instructors. It’s relaxed, social, and a great way to build confidence on the water.
SUP Tours
Take your paddling further with a guided SUP adventure. Led by locals who know the coastline best, you’ll discover caves, cliffs, and quiet corners of the island that few ever get to see. Tours are designed for paddlers who already know the basics and want to combine adventure with unbeatable views.
Private Sauna Sessions
Book the sauna exclusively for yourself or your group and enjoy an hour of uninterrupted calm. Watch the waves roll in, breathe the salt air, and let the heat melt away the day. Perfect for small groups or anyone wanting a quiet moment with the ocean all to themselves.
Shared Sauna Sessions
Join other visitors for a shared sauna session — an easy-going way to meet new people and enjoy Achill’s laid-back atmosphere. It’s social, restorative, and offers a stunning front-row seat to the ever-changing light of Keel Beach.
