I visit The Wave Bristol frequently and really enjoy the surfing itself, but I consistently come away with the same frustrations. There are several areas that I think need improving if the venue wants to keep regular surfers coming back. The car park is a major issue. After almost every visit, my car ends up either covered in dust or mud, to the point where I need to get it cleaned afterwards. For a venue that people may be driving a long way to reach, this really lets the overall experience down. The walk from the car park is also ridiculous, especially when carrying a surfboard and kit. It feels like this has not been properly considered from the perspective of someone actually coming to surf. There seems to be no obvious reason why a shuttle system could not be provided, particularly at busy times or for those carrying larger boards. The food offering also feels poor value. It is expensive, but the quality does not match the price. For a sports venue, I would expect better, more practical food options for people who have been in the water and need to refuel, rather than something that feels aimed more at a tourist attraction. The atmosphere can also feel a bit confused. I understand that The Wave is a family-friendly place, but at times it feels like the surfing side is competing with people simply lounging around or treating it as a day-out attraction. As someone going primarily to surf, that can take away from the experience. With a London venue opening in the future, it will become difficult to justify travelling to Bristol unless these issues are improved. The wave itself is great, but the supporting facilities need to better match the needs of regular surfers.

Visited on Sunday for an Improver lesson at the Sister Sessions. What an incredible day. The coaches and other women were so supportive and encouraging. Everyone lifted each other up. The atmosphere was lush! Great DJ, hearty food. Cannot recommend more highly.Thank you to all of the staff at The Wave for a perfect day. I will be back soon!

Nice place, nice vibes, nice staff, nice waves! I've been there twice already and will keep on visiting. During my first visit, M5 closed due to a collision so i was running late. I contacted the guys, explained the situation and they booked me in for a later session. Excellent experience with everyone so far. Also, the scrambled eggs i ate, at the restaurant there, were by far the most tasty i have eaten in my life. Keep it up guys!

I haven't been here to surf so cannot comment on the actual wave other than saying it's pretty cool to watch. The platform to walk down the middle and watch is great. I have however been to the way many times with my two small children. The car park is a bit of a walk from the wave but this is actually what we normally comes for. It's a very long straight walkway that is absolutely perfect for the kids to take their scooters on. It's a nice walk with various mini climbing things for children and adults kids to play on along the way. The coffee/ restaurant/ shop area is a nice place to relax. My only complaint is although the coffee tastes good, for some reason it is always Luke warm. Please turn up the temp on your coffee machine!!!!! Outside there is a fun play area for kids with a decent treehouse thing with a slide which my kids love and also a sand pit and swings. You can walk all around wmthe wave which is always calm and quiet and there is a skatepark to the site. We enjoy coming here!

We haven't used the pool yet, but the facility itself made a very good impression on me. It's definitely worth a visit, even just for a stroll. There's also a fun playground on site and access to delicious coffee and ice cream.
