FAMILY SURFING LESSONS AND ACTIVITIES

Outer Reef is Pembrokeshire's premier Surf Centre, and the number one choice for you in Wales. Since 1999 we have been running the ultimate surf school for all ages and abilities and have introduced thousands of people to the world of surfing.  A good surf lesson and positive experience is the best way to get started.  With the guidance of our fully accredited ISA surf instructors on the best surfing beaches in Wales, including Freshwater West and Manorbier you can look forward to great memories and a solid foundation in surfing.

FAMILY PADDLE BOARDING ACTIVITIES

Our Paddle Boarding experiences include the use of top of the range wetsuits, buoyancy aids and inflatable or hard paddle boards. Once kitted out and following a short safety briefing you and your family or group of buddies will be taught to navigate your way around our beautiful Pembrokeshire coastline. After launching you’ll learn how to paddle while kneeling and then give standing up a go, successfully touring around the fringe of the coastline. We will identify all sorts of fascinating marine life, negotiate swell and waves then execute a landing on the famous Barafundle Bay.

Our Coasteering sessions offer something for everyone and really are unmissable! Think about climbing, scrambling, cliff jumping, swimming, and a whole load of adrenalin. That’s coasteering. The awe inspiring coastline of Pembrokeshire provides the ideal venue for this exhilarating adventure activity where you’ll find yourself swimming into sea caves, climbing up through natural rock arches, and fling yourself from towering vertical rock faces.

We’ll seek out the swell this morning for your third and final surf lesson. Our expert instructors will pick up where you left off and have you picking up new skills in no time. Whether you are working on perfecting your pop up or starting little turns you will have lots of time to practice in the water riding the waves and tons of fun at the same time. 

This afternoon we will check out Stackpole Quay from a different perspective - in the water for our last activity of the week - another exhilarating coasteering experience! Say farewell to your instructors and leave us feeling energised and inspired by your incredible week of experiences!
