Things To Do in Wales
Kitesurfing
Combining the exhilaration of kite flying with the adrenalin rush of surfing, you'll have fun from the first day you learn to kitesurf. The learning curve is almost as steep as the lines to your kite, but most people will have the basics mastered in a couple of days. You begin by learning to fly the kite, move onto getting dragged behind it through the shallows and then finally, you're ready to go and it's up and away - up to 20 feet in the air, in fact.
Sailing
Sailors of all abilities will find plenty to challenge their yachting skills in West Wales. The offshore waters provide some of the finest sailing in Britain, with Viking-named islands like Caldey, Skokholm, Skomer, Ramsey and Grassholm beckoning across clear blue-green seas. Closer inshore is a spectacular coastline of soaring cliffs and sweeping sands easily accessed from a great range of ports and anchorages. Many of the region's beaches also have launch facilities for smaller sailing craft.
Windsurfing
West Wales has plenty of wind energy, so why not harness that free power and go windsurfing? Former European champion Tristan Boxford developed his talents here and reckons that you can find sailing here for beginners, intermediates and "even those pushing the limits of windsurfing". Spots such as Horton and Llangennith on the Gower Peninsula, and Broadhaven and Newgale in Pembrokeshire will have you scudding across the ocean on a windy day.
