Surfing Waves

Keen to get into surfing more regularly - are there any other beginners who wanna 'buddy up'/ surfers who wanna be my sensei!?? I live in the west mid's most the year round which isn't ideal but google suggests Barmouth, which is the closest spot, is okay - can anyone confirm? Need somewhere to rent a board which isn't a massive detour too. Heading there tomo to take a look, don't know how sensible it is given the weather..

Just thought it'd be good to find someone who will happily splash around in the sea all day in all weather incase I drown so someone can tell Mum..

Any advice appreciated!

Bummer there has been no response. I am used to surfing alone but it isn't advised for beginners especially. My wife is with me half the time I go surfing so she can call the surf rescue team to find my dead body after I drown The other half the time if I don't come back home at a reasonable time she will call to find out why and if no response go check it out and call the surf rescue guys to find my dead body. I surf on a schedule so whoever is there is there and if not then not. I am still not good enough to feel comfortable in a crowd so I enjoy my solo surfing. But if you were on Kauai instead and wanted to surf when I had time at the beach I would be happy to help during that short period of time

Where abouts in west mids are you? I'm Hereford based apart from uni. Its my intention to head to south/west wales over the summer if thats any use at all. I'm only a beginner too but happy to spot for you if we are at same beach same time.
