A short brief on the sand leads into white water you can stand in, and the coach matches drills to what you can already do. A board and wetsuit are included, and the beach is picked the day before around swell, wind and tide. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 2 hours Meeting point: Confirmed the day before, usually Freshwater West or Manorbier Minimum age: 7 years Times: Morning 10am to 12pm, or afternoon 2pm to 4pm Kit: Surfboard and wetsuit 🏄 Key Skills Beach safety and how the chosen break is working Board control, leash use and a safe fall The pop-up on a soft-top Catching white water in water you can stand in Riding towards the beach with the coach nearby 👀 What to Expect During the session the coach stays with the group and gives cues between waves rather than a long talk on the beach. Practise the pop-up on the sand first, then walk into the white water. If you already stand, say so so the slot is not a first-stand script. Turn up 15 minutes early. Usual starts are 10am and 2pm. We message the meeting beach the day before once the forecast is clear. If the planned spot is flat or unsafe, we move to another Pembrokeshire beach and send the new pin. 📍 Location Freshwater West, Castlemartin, SA71 5HW, and Manorbier are the usual summer beaches. Early and late season we also use Tenby, Saundersfoot, Broad Haven South and Newgale when that stretch is working better. The exact beach follows swell, wind and tide, not a fixed postcode. Parking sits near each of those beaches. Check your messages the evening before so you drive to the right car park. ✅ Prerequisites Happy in the sea and able to swim about 25 metres is enough. No surfing experience is needed. Children from 7 can join. Anyone under 18 needs an adult on the beach for the whole session. Swimwear, a towel and a warm dry layer cover the basics. Your own full-length wetsuit is fine. Tell us any medical notes that affect time in the water. ⭐ Why Choose Us Coaches hold ISA surf awards and work as beach lifeguards, and sessions are AALA licensed. Dean has taught on this coast since 1999. The beach is picked for the group rather than forcing a session on a closed or flat peak. Boards and wetsuits are fitted on the sand. The brief stays short, then most of the two hours is in the water with the coach next to you. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included 2 hour group surf lesson with an ISA-qualified coach Surfboard and wetsuit fitted on the day Safety brief on the sand and coaching in the water A beach chosen around the day's swell, wind and tide ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting beach Towel, swimwear and dry clothes Food and drinks Parking at the beach Personal insurance ### Kit list Swimwear to wear under the wetsuit A towel and a warm dry layer Sunscreen A water bottle ## FAQs ### How long is the lesson? About two hours from the meeting point and back, including a brief on the sand and time in the water. Most of that window is spent catching white water rather than standing on the beach talking. Give yourself 15 minutes before the start so changing does not eat into the water time. Morning sessions usually run 10am to 12pm, and afternoon sessions 2pm to 4pm. ### Where do we meet? The beach is confirmed the day before. In June, July and August that is usually Freshwater West or Manorbier. Early and late season we also use Tenby, Saundersfoot, Broad Haven South and Newgale when those beaches are working better. Parking sits near each beach. If the planned spot is flat or unsafe, we send a new pin rather than running a poor session. Check your messages the evening before. ### What kit is included? A surfboard and a wetsuit, fitted on the sand. We match the board to your size and how the beach is working that day. You can wear your own full-length suit if you prefer. Leave phones and bags in the car. If you need an inhaler or other medication in the water, give it to the coach at the start. ### Do I need surfing experience? No. First-timers and people who already stand up share this group session. Tell the coach at the start so you are not repeating a first-stand drill if you already pop up. The brief stays short either way. Most of the two hours is in the water, with cues between waves rather than a long talk on the sand. ### What is the minimum age? Seven. Anyone under 18 needs an adult on the beach for the whole session, even if that adult is not in the water. Children should be happy in the sea and able to follow a simple instruction on the sand. Tell us ages so we can put the right boards out. The coach keeps the group close and adapts the pace to the least confident person in the water. ### What if the weather is poor? Ordinary wind and rain do not stop a lesson. Wetsuits stay warm, and the brief still happens on the sand. We move beach when the swell or wind makes the planned spot unsafe, or if we cannot run a useful session there. If the planned beach is closed or flat, we pick another Pembrokeshire spot and message you. Check your messages the evening before if you are driving a long way. ### What should I bring? Swimwear, a towel, a warm dry layer and sunscreen. A water bottle helps. Get changed into swimwear before you arrive if you want to skip the queue for the wetsuits. Flip-flops are useful for the walk from the car, then come off for the water. Leave valuables in the car. Pack a bag for wet swimwear afterwards. ### Do I need to be able to swim? Able to swim about 25 metres and happy in the sea is the bar. Lessons stay in water you can stand in for first stands, but you still fall in and you still need to be comfortable with that. A coach stays with the group. If you are very nervous in open water, say so in advance. The coach can keep you closer and spend longer on the first minutes in the white water. ### Can I wear my own wetsuit? Yes, as long as it is a full-length suit. We still have suits if yours is thin or you change your mind on the sand. Shorties leave too much skin in the water for this session. Boots help from autumn through spring. Flip-flops are fine for the walk down in summer, then come off for the water. ### Will I be with other people? Solo bookers join the same group as other people on that slot. The coach still gives cues between waves rather than talking to a crowd on the sand. Larger parties should tell us numbers in advance so we can put enough boards and coaches on the beach. Turn up 15 minutes early so changing does not eat into the water time. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/img_0201-4.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 4 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
