WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

The Wave is thrilling. Discovering the balance between board and wave, in an extraordinary setting is shed loads of fun. A slice of the ocean near Bristol. An idea that on paper probably sounded insane, but ‘The Wave’ has become a surfing destination. Technology has been put to use to create perfect waves in the middle of green fields just off junction 17 on the M5. This vision took ten years to become a reality.  Build it and they will come.   Surfing at The Wave delivers both physical and mental benefits of being in and around water for all ages and abilities. Whether beginner or pro you will find your perfect wave.

TELL ME MORE

Open from 6am to 11pm, 7 days a week (5 days a week   7am to 6pm in Winter) with free parking, outdoor walks, on-site games (table tennis, boules, garden games) , equipment hire (wetsuits, boards, gloves and boots), and a cafe-bar. This is a proper day out - so the non-surfers can enjoy the experience too. Just remember to ‘Aloha’ the barista. Nothing wrong with pretending you're in Hawaii.

This experience is for 1 surf lesson, and takes place in ‘The Bay’ which is the shallow part of the lake. It’s for surfers who have never had any surfing experience before, or have done very little and want to be guided by expert coaches through the basics of surfing, to the point where they're standing up consistently and ready to progress to bigger waves.

These are small white water waves, that last 10-12 seconds, and end at the shore. See - very grown-up technology.

Washingpool Farm is the address. Which is wonderfully English. Maybe forget ‘Aloha’ and chance your luck with a more local  ‘Awl Rite?’
