"My wife enjoyed her Taster Bodyboarding lesson with James, it was her first time Bodyboarding and she really enjoyed it and would like to do it again. Her instructor was very helpful and friendly and the two hour session was the perfect amount of time for her. "

"I was thrilled to find you open in November so I eagerly booked on for a taster bodyboarding lesson. We were kitted out in really warm wetsuits and taken to the beach. We had a good 2 hours with Ben catching waves and felt safe all the time. I will 100 per cent go again. Highly recommended. Everyone I spoke to was super friendly and helpful."

Back in 1995, bodyboarding was the fastest growing watersport in the world. Yet there was no official pathway to learn how to do it. Born out of necessity, we developed the worldโs first bodyboarding lessons, which followed with us writing the worldโs first bodyboard instructor training course for the International Surfing Association and Surfing Australia. Ourย Director Rob Barberย has been British Bodyboarding Champion multiple times and even European Champion! Heโs surfed and competed all over the world.
