SurfSnowdonia
After a busy weekend, full of Fatstick
Paddle Board demos, at BBC’s Children in
Need ‘CarFest North’; treating ourselves to
a session at the much anticipated Surf
Snowdonia in North Wales was a no
brainer. With the offer of a night’s
accommodation and the opportunity to
ride the man made wave, it presented the
perfect chance to check out the full Surf
Snowdonia experience.
We were already in Chesterfield for
CarFest, so only a further hour’s drive led
us to wave garden, making the detour to
the beautiful Conwy Valley even more
appealing. The majority of the journey
consisted of mulling over questions such
as, would this mechanical wave be similar
to an ocean wave? What would the pods
and other facilities be like? Is the wave
going to be more suited to a SUP or a
surfboard?
