South Wales' premier leisure centre, the LC, offers a great way for sponsors to make waves

Europe's most exciting indoor surfing experience is now available for sponsorship.

The Boardrider, which is the first of its kind in Europe, is owned and operated by South Wales' premier leisure complex, the LC, which is located in Swansea at the gateway to the Gower Peninsula, one of the UK's premier surfing destinations.

The Edge, which is the LC's waterpark where the Boadrider is situated, attracted 267,000 visitors last year alone. The LC was opened in style by Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh in 2008.

The last few years have been extremely successful for the LC, with the complex picking up a host of awards for its services and offerings, as well as being named "Wales' Most Visited Paid for Attraction" by tourism body Visit Wales for two years running.

The Boardrider provides perfect waves for both boogie boarding and stand up surfing, with a number of different speed settings to cater for all abilities. It is the first surf machine to work on a 'deep water' basis, as opposed to simply shooting shallow water across the surface.

Waves are created by four pumps projecting water towards the surfboard at three different levels of speed - beginner, intermediate and pro. Air is then pumped into an adjustable 'hump' underneath the board, which increases the size of the wave according to individual ability.

In addition to becoming an integral part of the indoor surfing revolution that is currently sweeping the UK, not to mention the rest of the world, further Boardrider sponsor benefits include

  •  re-branding of the Boardrider to include company name

  •  visual branding of the Boardrider's surrounding area and viewing platform

  •  option to add physical structures into surrounding area and viewing platform (eg deckchairs, beach scene, etc.)

  •  point of sale

  •  total control of sound system unique to the Boardrider area.

More information, pictures and videos of the LC and the Boardrider are available on the LC website.
