Bodyboarding Novice to Intermediate in One Weekend

July 25, 2016

 

In two days we turn a complete novice bodyboarder in to a proficient rider using land based, water, video and photographic coaching. A fun weekend of bodyboarding that saw fast results.

With sunny weather and a two-to-three foot swell running all weekend, it was straight down to business when the group arrived at 9.30am on Saturday morning.  After enrolment, introductions and goal setting the crew hit the water at high tide Fistral.

The stand out of the weekend was Andy Annetts who took his riding from a complete novice to a proficient level of trimming with good style. He even nailed his first cutback on Sunday morning. We caught up with Andy from Staines for a chat when the weekend was complete…

On Sunday we headed out on a surfari up the coast and scored two to three foot waves before returning to the centre for a well earned Sunday roast dinner, fun prize giving and to review our training video. The crew was energized to join us on our future trips abroad and Wales and Cornwall bodyboard camps in autumn. We look forward to seeing them in the future!
