I’m not sure there’s anywhere I’d rather be or anything I’d rather do than surf my longboard at Llangennith beach on a summer’s evening. – Ben Holbrook
We’re with you there Ben, if you’re lucky enough to surf some of the breaks with some of Wales’ finest on the Gower, you’ll agree that sessions at Llangennith are lush.
Enjoy the slide.
Everything Noa Deane puts his name on is A++, so we asked him what he’s been working on lately? “Just a little Flipper Clip, basically all the B sides that are not going to be used for any major project, so we are flipping them out”. Well if this is the B side, what does the A side look like…!?
Surfing England is so amped to announce we are returning to The Wave, Bristol, for the 2021 English Adaptive Surfing Open, to be held on Thursday 8th July. After showcasing the venue’s potential at the 2020 korev lager English Adaptive Surfing Open, we cannot wait to return for an even bigger event, as we welcome adaptive surfers from across the globe through the doors.
The Wave is the official high performance training centre for Team England, and the Adaptive crew are often found shredding on the lake’s glassy waves. The Wave have also been instrumental in developing adaptive surfing in England, supporting Surfing England for the last 4 years to establish a contest which is now highly respected at a global level.
The core contest heats of the 2021 English Adaptive Surfing Open will take place on the Advanced setting at The Wave, and surfers will be scored on their rides on both the left and right side of the lake. Competition will take place between 9am and 7pm, with presentations to follow and a relaxed social gathering to end the day.
New to 2021, we are hugely excited to introduce a new Participation Session. This is where we welcome adaptive surfers who are above beginner level, but may not yet be confident enough to compete, to come along, surf and experience the day at the event and become familiar with the workings of surf competitions. This will take place on The Wave’s Waikiki setting – a gentle, spilling green wave. Volunteers will be on hand to support with water safety. This is a fantastic opportunity to start learning to ride green waves and also check out the contest and inspire the future of adaptive surfers. This session will take place 12-1pm on Thursday 8th July.

The next stop in the fight for the Final 5 heads 100 miles from the ocean to the Jeep Surf Ranch Pro. Showing you around his creation in Lemoore, California is 11-time World Champion and Surf Ranch innovator Kelly Slater. The GOAT takes you through his tricked-out Airstream trailer parked beside Perkins Lake, shows off his skills on the guitar and ukulele, shares a small portion of his massive trophy collection, and rides around the 700-yard wave pool.

One of the best slabs on the East Coast of Australia is literally right in the heart of Sydney (only 20 minutes from our international airport). With only a short 19 year history Cape Solander formally labeled OURS by the Bra Boys, this heaving wave of consequence turns on again for what has been one of the better years EVER! With a mix of paddle and tow surfing the Cape turns on into Part 2 of the second day. Enjoy.
