The Wave
Skate Spot
The Wave in Bristol is a top destination for skaters of all levels,
The long, smooth road, 1KM road leading up to the wave main area, is perfect for skaters looking to cruise and practice foundational skills.
Within the Wave complex, alongside the bay, there are flat areas with space for practising longboard dancing or surfskate technique on the flat.
There's a small half-pipe with differing heights for skateboarders and surfskaters to work on drop-ins and transitions
There's a small, surfskate-focused pump track ideal for practising turns and snaps for intermediate and advanced skaters.
