Why join the Wales bodyboard weekend?

Simply put, our Welsh bodyboarding weekend is a chance to enjoy a super-chilled couple of days catching great waves, improving your technique, and meeting a bunch of like-minded boogers in a breathtakingly beautiful part of the world, the Gower Peninsular, designated as the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

What to expect?

The Gower features truly stunning beaches, dramatic cliffs, wild moors, woodlands, and gorgeous views everywhere you go. While most bypass South Wales for the allure of the South West of England, the Gower has a huge and surprising amount to offer wave riders, with a great variety of beaches and reef breaks, it’s easier to find a quiet peak to surf ourselves silly!

Who is this trip for?

If you’ve never been bodyboarding before, fancy learning a new sport in a safe environment and meeting likeminded folk, this weekend provides the ideal introduction. At the same time, if you’re a keen rider wanting to master the sport’s most difficult moves, our coaching will help you improve no end. Every rider is taught as an individual, so you aren’t pushed along too quickly or held back by others.
