The Wave
Skate Spot
The Wave in Bristol is a top destination for skaters of all levels, offering a variety of features for different styles. The long, smooth road leading up to the wave pool is perfect for skaters looking to cruise and practice basic skills. Within the Wave complex, there are flat areas that provide ample space for cruising or practicing longboarding techniques. Additionally, the small half-pipe offers a unique area for skaters to work on transitions, while the small pump track is ideal for surfskating, allowing riders to develop momentum and flow. With its diverse and well-designed spaces, The Wave offers a welcoming environment for skaters to practice, improve, and enjoy their sessions at every skill level.
