Help Get Team Wales to Ireland

Representing Wales at an international championship is a huge opportunity for these young surfers – but the trip comes at a significant cost.

The Welsh Junior Surf Team is entirely self-funded, with the surfers and their families covering the costs of travel, accommodation, competition expenses and the many other costs involved in getting a team to an international event.

We’re therefore asking the Welsh surfing community, friends, family and supporters of junior sport to get behind Team Wales and help make this trip possible.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help these young athletes experience the opportunity to compete for Wales on the European stage.

Support Team Wales via the EuroSurf Junior 2026 CrowdFunder.

Good luck to all 11 surfers!

Cymru am byth!
