About Us

Chilax Surf Co is a surf school, located in Rossnowlagh, Co. Donegal, the surf capital of Ireland.  Chilax Surf Co. was set up by Michelle and Aisling Garrett in March 2010. Between Michelle, Aisling and the rest of the team you can be sure to get the best surfing tuition and information year round. Since setting up we have taught surfing to lots of people through our regular surf lessons and Surf Academy, as well as teaching local kids in our After School Surf Club.

Michelle has been surfing from a young age on the northwest coast and is well known in Irish surfing circles for taking on heavy waves and deep barrels. She has explored many waves on the west and north coasts of Ireland. She is from Ballyshannon. Michelle is an ISA Level 2 certified instructor and has done a lot of coaching with all levels of surfers, young and old. It is hard to get her to work if the waves are pumping. Favourite board is a DHD 6’5″.

Aisling is also from Ballyshannon and caught the surfing bug at Tullan strand in Bundoran back in 2004. After a year of being a weekend warrior and driving to Rossnowlagh twice a week she decided to quit her job and become a full time travelling surfer. This lead to 4 years on the road in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, USA, South and Central America. Aisling is currently riding a 5’10 Kronig board from Brazil and is still trying to come to terms with how good the waves are in Ireland after sampling some of the top surf breaks around the world.  

Michael Mc Gee

He has won numerous competitions and his powerful, freestlye surfing is second to none. Michael will be doing some training sessions with our junior riders.
