The 2016 Wales Bodyboard Coaching Weekend will be held on October 1/2 in order to get the best waves, tides and conditions.
What happens on the Welsh Coaching Weekend?
The Welsh coaching weekend, a favourite with bodyboarders from the north, the midlands and of course Wales is coming in to its seventh year. In 2016 the event has now evolved to include, a welcome meeting and goal setting, two coaching sessions on the Saturday, each of which is two hours long, photography of the riders in action, plus video analysis to help fast track improvements. There will then be a bar-b-q on Saturday straight after the bodyboarding session. On the Sunday there will be a long coaching session to continue improvements. There will then be the presentation of goodie bags and prizes to all participants.
What’s different?
We’ve moved the coaching weekend back a little so that we increase the likelihood of suitable sized swell. We’ve chosen a weekend that has low tides mid way through each of the days, which hugely increases the chances of us benefitting from the wedging waves that we love at Llangennith.
Who will be attending?
Journeying up from Newquay will be Rob Barber and his crack team of instructors. Assisted by the logistics and media team led by Aaron Parsons. As well as receiving the best bodyboard coaching available you will also benefit from awesome images and video of you on the waves.
Why is the Wales Weekend Unique?
Beaches, waves and camping are three of the best things to do over a weekend and we comprise all three in Wales. You can camp at the Hillend Campsite or stay at one of the local accommodation suppliers (like the Kings Head pub). It’s awesome to hang out with like-minded bodyboarders, share some waves, enjoy seeing each other improve and make the most of a really social weekend.
How do I book?
The price for the weekend is £139 and this includes:
- Three separate in-water sessions, Saturday sessions are two hours long covering all aspects of bodyboarding you wish to focus upon. The Sunday session will be longer.
