0:00:41 > 0:00:44- This place is called HQ.
0:00:44 > 0:00:51- We keep a lot of equipment here - - surfboards, wetsuits and drums!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54- I come here regularly.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- This is my surfboard.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01- This is special.
0:01:02 > 0:01:08- When a wave comes, you might - fall off or fly into the air.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13- If you fall on this board, - you won't get hurt. It's soft.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18- The back of the board is hard - and it has fins.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- The fins help you surf straight - and turn the board in the water.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- I'm excited - when I stand on this board.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31- Today, we're surfing in Llangrannog.
0:01:32 > 0:01:39- Dad's teaching me how to turn, stand - up and paddle on the surfboard.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- He's a good teacher.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- I started surfing - when I was five years old.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- I'm six years old now. - I've learnt so much in a year.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57- It's important to swim - before you surf.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- You also need to be safe - in the water.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- I'm going to wear the leash now.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- If you didn't wear this, the board - might fly off and hit someone.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Water in the wetsuit keeps me warm.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- The temperature of my body - heats the water.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- I wouldn't go into the water - without a wetsuit.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- I'm excited.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- The waves are quite good.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- When you surf, - you must stand on your two feet.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- Try and stand up - however difficult it may be.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Standing up - isn't the most difficult part.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- The most difficult part - is paddling and catching the wave.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- And then standing up!
0:03:03 > 0:03:08- That's more difficult because - there are a lot of things to do.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- When I was in the water...
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- ..Dad told me not to press down - but to press up.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22- If you press down, you spin - around and around in the waves.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- If you press up, - you'll be able to catch the waves.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- Sometimes, I feel frightened.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- That's what makes me feel excited.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- When I catch a wave, it's exciting.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- When I was walking out of the water, - Dad said well done.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- He also said I was brave.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- I do feel brave!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- I do feel very proud of myself.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55- I'm cold now.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- After a surfing session in the sea - in the middle of April...
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- ..there's nothing better - than hot chocolate.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- Were you scared?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Were you scared?- - No.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- No? Not scared at all? - I was a little bit scared for you.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Those waves were big.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- What was the most difficult part?
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- Paddling into the wave. - I think we should work more on that.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Where will we go next?
0:04:23 > 0:04:24- Where will we go next?- - St David's.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- St David's? Have you warmed up yet?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28- Yes.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29- Yes.- - Well done.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- The Llangrannog Urdd camp.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Eben is practising - his climbing skills.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- A lot of equipment is needed.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- I wear a harness to stay safe.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- If you fall, you could be injured.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- If you're wearing a harness, - you won't fall.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- I need to wear a helmet.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56- It feels good.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- The rope must be tied carefully - to make sure Eben is safe.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- There you go. Happy?
0:05:06 > 0:05:12- It's difficult - to climb up the blocks.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- You need three things - to climb up the wall.
0:05:16 > 0:05:22- The three things are - one arm and two legs.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- From one to another to another.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Wow! He's climbed - all the way up the wall.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- This feels very high. - I've reached the top.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Now I'm going back down.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- You don't come down - the same way as you go up.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- We call this abseiling.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- I like abseiling - but it's a bit difficult.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- Back at the beach, Eben, Dad - and lots of their friends...
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- ..are very busy today...
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- ..tidying up the beach.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- I use this to pick up litter.
0:06:13 > 0:06:20- You squeeze this - to pick up the litter.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- The litter goes in here.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- It's important - to keep the beach clean.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- We don't want wild creatures dying.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- There's a lot of wildlife - in the sea. What's there, Eben?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Whales, sharks, seals...
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- ..and fish.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- What happens if the wildlife - eats the litter?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- It dies.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- It's important to pick up - every piece of litter.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Only use the litter picking tool.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11- Well done.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Some people walk on the beach...
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- ..and drop their litter - on the ground.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- Some litter is washed in - by the sea too.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Litter from boats...
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- ..is washed up on the beach.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Try and pull it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Yay!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Well done. Teamwork.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53- This is heavy. - It's full of little bits of litter.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09- It's a foggy day today.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- If there are no waves, - that's a problem.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- You can't surf.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59- I don't think he surfed!
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- We had a lot of fun - on the way down in the van.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- This is the first time I've been - one of three people in the van.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Finally, after a pleasant journey, - Eben, Dad and Gruff...

0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Eben is disappointed.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- When I reached the beach, there were - no waves and I was disappointed.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- This is what happens sometimes - when you're a surfer.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- Sometimes there's surf, - sometimes there's not.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- We can still have fun. - What can we do?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- Wear our wetsuits, walk down there - and go into the cave.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- That's a lot to do.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52- If there are no waves, there are - other things to do at the beach.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- What are you doing? - What are you doing?!
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Play in the sea, splash...
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- ..swim, run on the beach.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- First they try the waves - to see if they can surf on them.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- I tried to surf today...
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- ..but the waves weren't very good.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- I stood up a couple of times.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Dad started to teach me how to surf.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- Dad's been surfing - for twenty-five years.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Dad was young when he started.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- It was really good.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- The waves weren't great - but some were quite big.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- What can we do now?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Let's go on an adventure. - We can explore the cave.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- We're heading to the cave now.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Over the rocks and into the water - on the other side.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- That's the cave.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- The cave cuts through the rock.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- It's really cold in the cave.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- We were a little bit scared.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Dad goes first - to make sure it's safe.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- And now for some fun.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Gruff came up with the idea - of jumping off the rock.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- The water was very deep - where we dived.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Dad made a huge splash.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- First, we looked at the water - to make sure it was safe.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Dad jumped in - to make sure it was safe.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- Then we followed him.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- When I dived underwater, - I made a huge splash.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- It made me very tired.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05- After going through the cave, we - swam back and it was a lot of fun.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- This has been a special day for me.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- It's special because I came here - with Dad and Gruff.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- I enjoyed myself a lot.
0:13:18 > 0:13:18- .
