Cardiff Bay Water Activity Centre

This Centre is housed in a purpose-​built facility in South Cardiff, on the edge of the River Taff by Cardiff Bay.
Despite the name, they actually offer activities both in the water and on land — including climbing (using Channel View’s indoor climbing wall and automatic belaying equipment, as well as the outside bouldering facility); archery; bell boating in a vessel up the Taff; bush survival skills; trail biking; sailing; windsurfing; course and sea fishing; rowing; etc.
For parties and corporate days they do day packages, and this is what I’ve experienced — all great fun, with excellent tuition and guidance, and a choice of 16 different activities (though obviously you have to choose in advance and book which you want to do, as there’s not enough time to fit all of them in!). Great for a team day out away from the office.

Last year I decided to try some of this windsurfing lark at The Channel view leisure centre, dedicated water to all things water sports related.
I went on the absolute beginners course which to begin with is expensive. £124 for two days. But once you get your level one it goes down to £34 for 5 sesh so gets better as you do.
What consists of the beginners course is to begin with an on land simulator to make you feel an utter charlie. YOu are embarrassingly guided by qualified wind surfing tutors.
You are then allowed out in the wet stuff after a few hours and this is where the real fun begins. Expect to get wet, col and spend more time off your board than on it… Well me anyway. It was so much fun my face was hearting from smiling so much over the two days.
It’s a great way to meet people and you become quite close to your group over the time and I still speak to a couple of the people I met there.
There is so much more at CBWAC with Kayaking, sailing, rowing and power boating.
If summer pops up this year you must visit here!
