By 11, he was competing and has since racked up two national titles and a dominating six national tour wins before becoming the 2017 world champion. A multi-talented athlete, Iain is able to share his expertise and passion in a way that makes those around him even better bodyboarders. From local waves to global glory, Iain’s journey is pure surf stoke.

What People Say

"What a blast! As always from the moment we all met to the good-byes this was a weekend that gave everything. Sharing two sessions with the impressive Iain Campbell was simply a dream come true and with Damien & Alex in the water with you, along with Matt patiently filming on land in the cold for the ever useful video analysis afterwards, this team gives you everything. Late Saturday afternoon we went for a meal with the whole crew to share stories and a good time. This weekend reminded me of why I've been coming on these weekends for over a decade and hopefully I'll  be back for many more."

What People Say

"Amazing weekend of coaching with Iain Campbell and Damian Prisk. Excellent group video analysis after each session, captured by Matt. They bent over backwards to improve our bodyboarding. We had a really good group and the meal together was also sociable and fun. It was the best weekend off work I've ever had! I look forward to doing another. Thank you to the team and fellow riders!"
