Melanie White, founder and owner of Rebelle Surf started this company because Surfing is fun and powerful! She’s pretty sure after a life time of exploring that Joy is a good path to follow! Rebelle Surf is the only female owned and led surf school on the West coast of Ireland and indeed all of Ireland. Melanie is breaking new ground left right and centre and is excited to share the fun!
Her focus is on connection, expression, strength and fun to help people experience surfing and strengthen their surf skills.
“I wanted to share my love of surfing with others through teaching, workshops and writing, but in a more inclusive and deeper way than was currently being offered.”
‘The biggest and greatest gift surfing gives me is connection. Connection to myself and to the true nature of the land and ocean where I live and surf. When you surf you become part of the Ocean’s daily heartbeat. It’s impossible not to have awareness of that presence.’
