Boogie Down Memory Lane – Bodyboarding In Cornwall. Vol 1 Part II
By James Fisher
Have you ever been bodyboarding in Newquay? Have you felt the addictive rush of adrenaline on the inside of a tube on a sunny day? If so, you’ll know there’s no other place you’d rather be than in that very moment when nothing else matters. Being at one with the ocean is an extremely enjoyable, yet humbling experience. With Newquay Activity Centre’s wide selection of bodyboard lessons, we’re sure you’ll find something suitable to share this exhilarating experience too.
Bodyboarding in Cornwall is a huge draw for many people who live in this part of the world. You truly get to appreciate the sheer might of Mother Nature as she lets you harness this energy for pleasure. The juxtaposition between colossal power and playful fun is something that’s ever-present. This may sound like an unattainable spiritual awakening, but the truth is that bodyboarding is one of the most easily accessible sports for people of all ages and abilities. The smaller board and lower centre of gravity means it’s less energy demanding than surfing, and easier to pick up as a complete newbie.
Throughout the years, we have had our bodyboard lessons in Newquay come in many forms and variations. What works for one person might not suit another, and the pace at which people learn can vary massively. We’ve adapted our bodyboard lessons over time to suit the needs of individuals by providing small group sizes, experienced instructors and personal feedback. On this journey of exploration, we have seen many lessons come and go as new ones take shape. This two-part blog has taken a moment to remember a couple of classic lessons that set the tone for progression. In this blog, we will look at our previously offered Developer Bodyboard Lesson.
