On Friday the 4th of August a small ground swell pushed on to Gower, part of the welsh surfing coastline. There to greet these perfect waves were the wave hungry junior surfing academy armed with their INT wave riding vehicles.

The Saltrock open cancelled for this weekend and put back to the weekend of 12th - 13th April

The call was made today to postpone The Saltrock Open until the weekend of 12th – 13th April.

Sadly the charts make dismal reading for the weekend, with just a small wave predicted for Saturday, along with a howling cross-shore wind. What swell there is will come from the north – the worst direction for Croyde as it often just sails right by.

So in the spirit of giving the competitors the best chance of a fair competition based on skill rather than that one lucky wave, and giving spectators a proper showcase of our magnificent sport, the UK PST team have decided to reschedule for 12th – 13th April, when hopefully the swell gods will be smiling on us.

And with top UK surfers Russell Winter, Alan Stokes, Nicole Morgan and defending men’s tour and event champion Sam Lamiroy all fired up and raring to go, it looks set to be well worth the wait.

Gower Offers

Oahu, Hawaii.

I love Hawaii, it's that simple. Every wave tests you and your ability. I truly believe that if one is to be a surfer he/she must travel to the home of surfing to sample it's delights at least once.

Chris Bertish big wave surfer

Chris Bertish is not only a good friend of mine but one of the few people that I trust in the most challenging of surfing conditions. Chris, simply in my view is one of the best big wave surfers in the world.

Atlantic Island big wave surfing paradise

This is an outdoor adventure paradise. The surf is of the highest standard with the North Atlantic throwing the largest rideable waves at the perfect points.

Pays Basque

A great place to eat good food, surf excellent waves if your lucky. Go out of the silly season and you will score perfect waves.

Richard Mullins

Here are just a few of Richards surf shots, how good would it be to have your logo on his boards! Well now here is your chance, he needs a sponsor for the forthcoming years to help him compete on the BPSA and travel the world surfing radical waves.

mountain boarding comes to Gower, Wild West Wales.

Next spring 2007 GSD will be operating a mountain board school here on Gower and hopefully Cornwall to work closely with the exsisting surf schools based in the same locations. As with the surfing our dirt boarding passion is going to be directed at offering quality courses for all, teaching this fun new extreme sport.
