Blackfield Surf School is the only approved and regulated surf school on Achill Island, located a little over 3km east of Keel. The school is approved by the Irish Surfing Association. Blackfield provides a rental service for surfboards and wetsuits, and it is a daily rental from 10:30am to 5pm. They provide a soft roof rack for your vehicle so that you can get the rented surfboards to Keel Beach, and there is a designated surfing zone at the beach as well.
