Half day surfing in Wales

Our half day Learn to Surf courses are aimed at complete beginners or those that have never received any formal instruction and want to learn the basics of surfing correctly. Wales is a perfect place to learn to surf, with white sandy beaches, pristine blue waters and great waves all year.

During the course you will spend plenty of time in the surf, in a small group, with a British Surf Association qualified coach.

Our main teaching venue is at Whitesands Beach (Porthmawr) which is a blue flag beach, with clean water and good local facilities.

Occasionally we visit other beaches to seek the “wave of the day”!

Each session will cover:

• Handling & paddling a surf board safely & correctly
• The ability to identify and pick suitable waves
• Ride a wave; prone and standing up
• Make simple turns; prone and standing up
• Predict waves & surf using weather charts & forecasts
• Understanding of common beach/ water hazards and how to treat them
• Knowledge of equipment and how to choose what is best for you
• Knowledge of good surfing locations close to you, or around the world
