‘Awesome as always - can’t thank you guys enough!’
Founded in 2010, Surf School Wales is now a Community Interest Company, proud to be solely based on Aberavon Beach.
Managed by husband and wife duo, Nick & Liane, the team are passionate about surfing and the benefits it brings to people. 2021 is a big year for the team as they create their own surf hub after working from a van for more than a decade. You can read more about their plans here.
Surf School Wales has a real family and community feel to it, often you will find Nick & Liane’s young daughters playing on the surf boards and running in the shallows of the beautiful Aberavon Beach shore line.
The Surf School Wales team are highly experienced and most importantly they believe the best surfer is the one having the most fun!
