My daughter is in her 2nd season learning to surf with Surf School Wales. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Such pleasant people, such patient people (and I mean that in dealing with parents like me with a hundred questions) to teaching the kids to surf. Such good value, in a stunning place. Really, if you're local and want to learn to surf I cannot recommend Surf School Wales highly enough. Go, enjoy, find out for yourself.

Come and try one of the fastest growing sports. Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP). Really easy to learn, great fun. Although SUP is similar to surfing and kayaking, you can use a paddle board for a myriad of activities such as surfing, adventuring, touring, fishing, yoga, racing, whitewater

I took my 8 year old son for for his first surf lesson. He was a little bit nervous, but was put at ease and had a great time. The instructors were really good with him and the others in the group. Highly recommended!
