With expert instructors, warm wetsuits, and beginner-friendly boards, these sessions are perfect for first-time surfers as well as those ready to step up their skills and tackle bigger waves. 🌊 Key Details Duration: 3.5 hours per session Location: Whitesands Beach, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Ages: Discovery 8+ / Explorer 13+ Meeting Point: 20 High Street, St Davids, Haverfordwest, SA62 6SD 🏄 Key Skills Paddling and positioning on the board Prone riding with control and confidence Standing and balancing to catch your first wave Surf safety and awareness of sea conditions Reading and predicting wave patterns 📅 What to Expect When you arrive at the meeting point in St Davids, our team will get you signed in and kitted out with a wetsuit, board, and everything else you’ll need. From there, it’s a short trip to Whitesands Beach, a wide sandy bay framed by dramatic headlands and known for consistent surf. The Discovery session begins with a beachside introduction to surfing, including how to handle your board, paddle efficiently, and practise safe techniques in the water. You’ll start by prone riding to gain confidence before learning to pop up and balance on your board. With plenty of time to practise and guidance at every stage, most people manage to ride their first wave during this session. For those choosing the Explorer session, expect to spend less time on the basics and more time refining your skills in the surf. Instructors will help you improve turning, positioning, and manoeuvring, while also introducing more advanced techniques suited to faster, larger waves. The pace is more demanding but designed to push your surfing to the next level. 📍 Location Whitesands Beach, on the tip of the St Davids Peninsula, is a Blue Flag beach with excellent water quality and reliable surf. Backed by rolling hills and set within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, it provides a safe and scenic setting to learn or progress. The beach is a favourite for spotting seabirds, and if you’re lucky, you might even see dolphins or seals offshore while you’re in the water. The meeting point before each session is 20 High Street, St Davids, SA62 6SD, from where we’ll transport you to the beach with all your equipment. ✅ Prerequisites Participants should be comfortable spending time in the water and have a basic level of fitness.

Discover: 8 years and above (flexible) Explorer: 13 years and above (flexible) Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult, and those under 8 must book a private session via the adventuro chat below. ### Do you have any minimum or maximum group sizes? Minimum group size: 2 participants Maximum instructor-to-group ratio: 1:8 for surfing Groups can be doubled to 16 with an extra instructor. ### Is all equipment included? All the essential equipment you need is supplied, including a wetsuit, helmet, and buoyancy aid. These are checked regularly to meet safety standards and ensure you are well-protected throughout the activity. You’ll just need to bring swimwear, old trainers you don’t mind getting wet, and a towel for afterwards. If you wear glasses, it’s best to secure them with a strap or wear contact lenses. ### What if I can't swim? You don’t need to be an expert swimmer, but you should feel comfortable in the water. Most sessions involve swimming short distances in buoyancy aids, which makes staying afloat easier. Instructors are always close by to provide guidance and reassurance, and routes are chosen based on conditions and the ability of the group. If you are less confident, this will be taken into account when planning the activities. ### Is coasteering safe? Safety is always the highest priority. The instructors are fully trained, experienced, and qualified to lead groups in a range of sea conditions. They carry safety equipment and know the coastline well. The activity is also tailored to the abilities of each group, meaning jumps and swims are always optional. You’ll never be asked to do something outside your comfort zone, and there are safe alternatives if you’d prefer not to take part in certain elements. ### What is coasteering and what does it involve? Coasteering is a coastal adventure activity that mixes climbing, swimming, and jumping into the sea. It takes place along rocky shorelines and gives participants the chance to explore caves, gullies, and natural features that are not accessible from land. The activity is designed to be varied, so at one moment you may be scrambling across rocks, the next you could be swimming through channels, and then taking the option to leap from a ledge into the water. It’s a highly adaptable experience that caters to different confidence levels. ### Can children take part in coasteering? Yes, children can join as long as they meet the minimum age requirement, which is usually around 8 years old. They need to be confident in the water and able to follow instructions. Families often enjoy coasteering together, as the activity can be adapted to suit mixed ages and abilities. Parents or guardians will need to supervise younger participants, and group sizes are kept small to ensure safety. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/039975664d7872e8576f66548fc1bb76/2024/08/220713-SunsetSurf-13.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 13 ## 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.
