Meet Our Instructors

FOUNDER

Graham is a surfer and musician from Achill Island, Co. Mayo. He started surfing on Keel beach at eight years old, using an old board he borrowed.

He has since travelled the world surfing and playing music, spending time in California, Mexico and Brazil. When the whole world paused in 2020, Graham was forced to hit the brakes on his touring career in music. Not one to sit around for too long, he came up with the idea to bring all of his passions and skill sets home to Achill and create something positive. In 2021, Soundwave was born.

Soundwave is a combination of Graham’s greatest passions in life: surfing, music, culture, and classic cars.

As a surf instructor, he wants to help better the standard in Irish surfing and to introduce as many people as he can to this great sport. Safety and fun are Graham’s top priorities, and a surf lesson with him is the perfect way to experience the Irish waters this summer.
