JON WILLIAMS, DYFFRYN CONWY COMMUNITY CLUB Parents tell us all the time what a positive impact surfing at Surf Snowdonia has had on their children. For some it has helped them to focus more and knuckle down at school, for others it has helped to overcome fairly significant self-confidence issues. You could never put a value on the difference it has made to their lives. ADVENTUREPARCSNOWDONIA.COM
