Paddy Buckley:  Instructor

IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) Instructor No. 3713 BKSA (British Kite Surfing Association) Instructor No. 339

Paddy’s love affair with the water started in Oysterhaven and after sampling the wind and waves around the world he has returned to West Cork to spread some kite surfing love. Paddy grew up competing and teaching windsurfing in Cork and is no stranger to fun in the surf. After catching the kite surfing bug himself he’s here to show the people of Cork how enjoyable kite surfing can be. His list of qualifications is as long as his kite lines and he even has a degree in Maritime Leisure! There’s no better man to show you how to have fun at the beach.

Jane Buckley:  Marketing and Events

Jane gave up her high powered job in the capital to join the Vertigo team. Her marketing expertise helped get Vertigo off the ground. Swapping stilettos for sandals she’ll be hanging out at the beach to make sure her little brother is keeping an eye on the books and not just the surf (and pints). If only she could resist the nightlife in Kinsale herself!
