Surfboard for disabled children hits the waves in Gower

A university has enlisted the help of children to test new surfing products for young people with disabilities at a Swansea beach.

Thirteen-year-old, Kai, from Port Talbot, who has cerebral palsy, was among those hitting the waves at Llangennith beach in Gower.

University of Wales Trinity Saint David academics tried out a tandem surfboard, which can be ridden be children with neurological conditions and controlled by an instructor, and a surf access vehicle.

They have been produced by the Cerebra Innovation Centre, a collaboration between the university and charity Cerebra.
