From 26 to 27 June 2027, Dave Hubbard and the Bodyboard Holidays coaching team will bring two days of specialist coaching, wave-pool progression, professional media and social time in Bristol.
The weekend includes five coached sessions across Saturday and Sunday, including a women’s-only session at 12pm on Saturday, co-coached by Dave and the female Bodyboard Holidays instructor team. Book the sessions that suit your riding, or make a weekend of it and build your progression across several sessions.
Created for bodyboarders who want focused coaching and more time in the water, this event brings together riders from across the UK for the biggest bodyboarding weekends in the 2027 calendar.

Dave Hubbard will lead the weekend alongside Rob Barber, Damian Prisk and the experienced Bodyboard Holidays coaching and media team. Together they will deliver goal setting, in-water coaching, professional filming and detailed video analysis throughout the event.
Dave Hubbard is a 10-time Drop Knee World Champion, 2025 Pipeline Champion and one of the most accomplished and influential bodyboarders of his generation.
Known for his technical drop-knee riding, board control and deep understanding of wave positioning, Dave is also one of the worlds best prone riders and brings decades of elite-level experience to the coaching environment. At The Wave he will work directly with riders on stance, speed, bottom turns, carving, rail control, wave selection and overall technique, with feedback suited to each session and ability level.
Rob Barber is a bit of a wave pool junky, having ridden wave pools in Wales, Scotland, Bristol and Tenerife. He’s previously been the Head Coach for the British and English Surfing & Bodyboarding teams and he was inspired to create unique bodyboarding experiences for like-minded people so he became the founder of Bodyboard Holidays!
Damian Prisk has been bodyboarding for over 30 years. He was one of the first to ride the wave pool in Bristol soon after it opened and has been a regular ever since. His technical riding at the pool is revered. He loves working with the guests of Bodyboard Holidays, sharing the stoke and helping others discover the fun world of bodyboarding.
