Picture the scene, you’re waist deep in the brisk sea on a beautiful Welsh coastline, you can taste the salt spray frothing around you, the wind in your hair and surfboard in hand. You feel the swell and you know for sure, this is your wave. Paddling with both exuberance and determination you know it’s now or never – you climb up on your board and you realise with almost disbelief, you are actually doing it, you are riding the wave; its joy, its adventure and its freedom all in one.
