Sea Salt
Sea Salt is a short film about the worlds first and only full-time adaptive surf school.
In the summer of 2013, director and head coach, Ben Clifford, took the plunge and set up Wales’ first adaptive and inclusive surf school. Surfability UK was born, and they're on a mission to make surfing accessible for everyone.
Once a small surf school working out of a car, Surfability UK is now a world leading adaptive surf school. They operate out of two purpose built buildings on Caswell Bay on the Gower, with accessible changing rooms, kit drying facilities and extensive kit storage for our ever growing range of accessible equipment.
They are at the forefront of global adaptive surfing. For the last few years, coaches Ben Clifford and Toby Williams have managed the Welsh Adaptive Surfing Team, attending multiple international competitions, including the World Adaptive Surfing Championships in California every year.

Ride the wave
Surfing. You just never know where it's going to take you. From getting out of your comfort zone to pushing your physical and mental limits – whether that’s the next beach down the coast, journeying through foreign lands, or stepping up into bigger waves. After our first waves, we are all driven down paths of discovery and experiences; and in many ways led to a rich education in life.
In this issue we cover those surfing experiences from every angle. From the varied first surfing experiences of some of Europe's best-known surfers, to legendary Scottish road trips. Al Mackinnon examines how surfing has, and hasn’t, really changed over the last 60 years, on the east coast of Australia, with the aid of surfing journo John Witzig. We also chat to Laura Crane about her mission to take on 60-foot waves, go on trips to Nicaragua and Ecuador, and travel to Kent to meet the Joss Bay crew – one of the UK’s oldest and most unlikely surfing communities.
They’re all very different stories, yet at their heart, all driven by a common dream. As Kelly Slater recalls, following his first successful surf sessions as a kid: “I remember saying to myself, ‘I think I’m a surfer’. I felt I was kind of part of this tribe… It was who I was.”
