Iain Campbell is originally from the surf-rich shores of Durban, South Africa. He caught the bodyboarding bug early at age 10 and never looked back. By 11, he was competing and has since racked up two national titles and 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 and he excels in the wave pool.
Lisa is the best of the best when it comes to women’s bodyboarding. With Lisa as your coach extraordinaire, you’ll be in the hands of a legend, not only was she a European Bodyboarding Champion as she was also a world surf life-saving champion. As part of the Women + Waves and Bodyboard Holidays team, you’ll be in expert hands.
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.
