Joining Jeff will be our expert coaching team, including multiple-time national champions Damian Prisk and Rob Barber, alongside the Bodyboard Holidays in-house trained instructors. Our photography team will also be on hand to capture every ride, delivering high-quality footage for you to review and take home.
Jeff Hubbard is a 3 x IBA World Champion (2006, 2009, 2012), 5 x IBA Pipeline Champion, 11 x United States National Title Holder, and has countless other podium finishes to his name. Hailing from Kauai, Hawaii, Jeff will be joining our coaching team for one incredible event – this is your chance to learn from and bodyboard alongside one of the best in the world.
Jeff is a dynamic and progressive bodyboarder who, after decades on the world tour, remains a true heavyweight contender. He continues to push the limits of the sport with his distinctive aerial style and explosive technique. His fitness and core strength are next level, allowing him to take on heavier waves and bigger sections with confidence and precision. Jeff’s trademark moves include his split-leg invert and looped 360 airs, and he’s one of the few bodyboarders ever to land an aerial 720. If being in the water with this level of talent doesn’t get you hooked on the sport, nothing will. Many don’t realise Jeff is also an exceptional drop knee rider – his versatility knows no bounds.
Rob Barber is a bit of a wave pool junkie, having ridden pools in Wales, Scotland, Bristol and Tenerife. A former Head Coach for the British and English Surfing & Bodyboarding Teams, Rob was inspired to create unique bodyboarding experiences for like-minded riders – and that’s how Bodyboard Holidays was born!
Damian Prisk has been bodyboarding for over 30 years. He was among the first to ride the Lost Shore wave pool and has been a regular ever since. His technical riding in the pool is admired by all. Damian loves working with Bodyboard Holidays guests, sharing the stoke and helping others discover the joy of bodyboarding.
Jeff’s coaching is first-rate, putting you in the perfect environment to fast-track your learning and progression. He’ll deliver on-land and in-water demonstrations, breaking down skills and sequences move by move, to help you refine every detail of your bodyboarding. Jeff will also ride alongside you, offering real-time tips and demos throughout the session.
The rest of our coaching team will work closely with Jeff, providing hands-on feedback tailored to your ability. All are in-house qualified, fully insured, and have decades of experience. Some bring over 30 years of surf coaching and 20 years of worldwide travel knowledge, all trained by multiple British National Champion and Team Coach Rob Barber.
Before the event, we’ll send a short form to assess your ability level. If you’ve not joined a coaching event before, don’t worry, we guarantee you’ll catch waves in the pool, receive expert feedback, and take home footage to study. Our coaching covers every level, with ability-based groups and dedicated instructors to suit your progression, whether you’re a novice or a seasoned rider. You’ll also take part in a pre-wave pool briefing, where we’ll explain what to expect when surfing the artificial wave and answer any questions.
Photography and video analysis are included to help improve your riding, and all footage is yours to take home at the end of the event.
Professionally shot land and water photos and video that will be captured throughout the day to help you improve your riding. All footage will be provided to you at the end of the event as part of your package.
Coaching with Jeff Hubbard at Lost Shore includes up to four in-water sessions in the wave pool and four video analysis sessions afterwards. You can choose how many you’d like to book.
Each paid session includes a dedicated video analysis, giving you one detailed feedback session after every time you surf the pool. Book up to four sessions for maximum progression and personalised coaching throughout the day!
A fact-filled session to answer all your questions about Lost Shore and how to safely make the most of your time in the pool. You can also ask any other bodyboarding questions you have, Jeff is a true font of knowledge!

ASAP! These coaching days are proving very popular, and with limited spaces available you should really get a wriggle on to avoid disappointment.
No, we take it in turns and the constant flow of waves barely leaves you time to catch your breath between waves. It’s a great workout out but you can rest if you’d like a break.
You’ll need enough money for lunch and snacks. Food and drinks at the Wave Pool Cafe are all reasonably priced.
Yes, of course, the more the merrier! However, we only have limited spaces on the wave machine itself.
