Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! All of our lessons and packages include FREE wetsuit hire.

Let us know what size hoody or dress size you wear  S M L XL XXl (Women’s 6 - 20).

Paddle Boarding: To make things easy, we recommend using one of ours. They are all top of the range O’shea, Jobe and Finla boards. 

Surf: If you have your own board you are more than welcome to use it but we do recommend one of our Foam boards as they really help when you are learning.

The beauty of watersports is that anyone can give them a go! We have taken people on the water from every walk of life imaginable. All we ask is that you can swim at least 25m unaided as this is for your safety.

Yes, in most cases you can absolutely still come along to our weekends. All of our instructors take ‘rescue bags’ out on the water with them so any medications can go into this bag for the duration of the activities. If you would like to discuss this with us further, please drop us an email and a member of the team will contact you.

We do ask that you can swim at least 25m unaided in order to join us on any one of our sessions.

Our accommodation is situated in Saundersfoot Harbour.

Your accommodation will be well signposted with Outer Reef signage for your arrival and you can check in from 4pm. The following day your team of instructors for the week will meet you just outside your accommodation at 9am for a meet & greet.

Of course you can! The majority of people who come along on our weekends come solo. We want to connect you with like minded people who enjoy similar activities!

Pembrokeshire and the locations we use for our activities are quite remote. However we can offer advice and recommendations for local public transport options, just get in touch with us prior to your arrival. Once everyone has arrived for the weekend, we recommend car sharing as location venues can be busy.

All our water based activities are subject to weather and swell conditions. We want to make sure you have the best possible experience on the water with us so we will email you the week before your arrival with a rough schedule based on the forecast and will fill in any gaps at the meet & greet.

Freshwater West or Manorbier Beach

Stackpole Quay, Tenby North Beach or Saundersfoot Harbour

Our locations do not have changing facilities so we recommend wearing your swimming costume under your clothes. Tenby North beach has a cold water public shower that is free to use. All other locations do not have shower facilities. We recommend bringing a towel robe or Dry Robe to change after your session. 

All of our locations have toilet facilities.

You can leave your car keys etc in our vans or our lock ups (depending on the location). Outer Reef does not take responsibility for any items left and we do have limited space so please don’t bring your diamond jewellery and massive overnight bags!

1.5hr - 2hrs

Don’t worry, we understand these things happen. 

If you cancel more than 3 weeks before your arrival date, we are able to give you a full refund.

If it is less than 3 weeks before, we will endeavour to fill your spot. If we are unable to do so, we will issue a voucher for the value of the activities which you can spend in one of our stores or on activities in future. Unfortunately we are unable to refund the accommodation.

We operate in most conditions - it's all part of the adventure! If genuinely unsafe, we offer full rescheduling or refund

Adventure Holiday Reviews

Our Surfing Lessons

"I highly recommend the surfing lessons at Outer Reef. All of the instructors at Outer Reef are wonderful and really seem to love what they do. My son is now a really confident surfer as a result of their high quality teaching. Thank you!"

The Outer Reef Team

"I cannot praise this crew enough! Boys have had a great time all summer and learnt new skills, their cousins joined in when visiting and Outer Reef have been fantastic throughout.
Thanks guys!!! See you next year"

Family Friendly Courses

"We had a fantastic morning doing our SUP course. The meeting place at Stackpole Quay was a National Trust estate and easy to find. The boys running it were so lovely and made us feel safe and relaxed. Very organised and easy briefing; before we could say starfish we were out on the open water!"

Instructor Training

"Dean is a great teacher as well as a great showman. I really appreciated working and learning with him. He was in charge of helping me passing my international life saving award. And I was successful thanks to his great coaching, 100% satisfaction!
Hope to see you soon in the ocean 
Dean, you are always welcome in Moliets to visit us at Bythewave"
