Escape on a Welsh Surf weekend with Surf Sistas #banging

More dates coming up in Llangennith Wales for our Surf Sistas weekends ..   19th & 20th July and 13th & 14th September.  Come and learn to surf in our beginner sessions or choose improvers if you have surfed before and want to take it to the next level.  Our Surf Sistas team in Wales includes former UK and Welsh champ Gwen Spurlock so you know you are in expert hands!

Kicking off our Welsh Summer with Sunshine and Waves!

The weather and wave gods were on our side this weekend with a fantastic reminder of why you don't have to leave the UK for an amazing outdoor adventure!    Check out the pics below of our happy crew of Surf Sistas this in Llangennith, Wales.  Beginners riding the white water with Mali and improvers charging small green peelers with Gwen :) 

We have more Welsh fun coming up in July - sign up to our beginner or improver weekends or our 5 day White to Green course.   

If you have never been to Llangennith before it is super easy. Either drive direct to the Gower or hop on a train to Swansea and then take a bus or taxi hop to Llangennith village. There are some great places to stay from a campsite right next to the beach to B&Bs or self catering cottages. Its such a beautiful place its no wonder it was voted the 3rd best beach in Europe
