Not for me
Tried water skiing ⛷

Yes , started off at Llantwit beach and just kept on going for donkeys years.
Probably safe to admit that my main motivation for starting was that the Lifeguards threw the best parties and you got to knock around with scantily clad females all weekend in the summer.
A bit of a struggle to get into a wet suit these days, I would imagine, as ever since riding that last wave a sedentary lifestyle has kicked in.
I used to go fishing there as a kid , those rocky ledges on the left hand side looking out to seaQuote:

as a starter cant recommend 7 or 8 ft soft boards enough, something like this ( infact every surfer needs in his / her quiver imho )

in 3 days you will be standing up and riding them waves
Its not just the surf though, the lifestyle is great, out in the fresh air, BBQ for tea, a few beers, nice cooked breakie to start the day, what's not to love, met some great people, the surf community imho have been great, a few took time to help show my girls the way they should be doing it, then they would come over in the local bar for a chat, I would normally buy them a beer to thank them
as Johnny was told, "Surfing's the source. Can change your life. Swear to god " :thumbup:
That's all very romantic sonny but I am afraid of sharksQuote:

Yeah, it's a great sport..and easier than it looks to get some enjoyment from it. A lot of people will be able to stand for a few seconds on the first day they do it.
It's great at a big beach like Rest Bay where there is less conflict too.
Some great waves at Ogmore by sea close to the rocks
Dangerous
Shits me up
I used to surf down at Llangennith. Long time ago now though.
