Europe’s First Dedicated Bodyboarding School

Bodyboards are smaller and lighter than surfboards; this means they’re generally easier to manoeuvre and quicker to learn on. These smaller boards, combined with a lower centre of gravity, make bodyboarding much less tiring than surfing. It’s also widely considered a much safer sport as the boards are made from foam and they avoid the sharp edges and fins synonymous with surfing.

Due to the nature of bodyboarding, your lower centre of gravity increases the feeling of speed. This means that catching even the slowest of waves will make your pupils feel like they’re whizzing past the rest of their classmates in a magnificent blur!

Industry-leading Instructors

Under the guidance and tuition of some of the most qualified and experienced instructors in the country, your pupils will sky-rocket their skills in the cooling crystal-clear waters of Newquay!

Our team includes British team bodyboarding coach and former European bodyboarding champion Rob Barber. Our school bodyboarding lessons will introduce your pupils to outdoor learning under the guise of fun! From beach safety to paddling out and trimming across waves, they’ll learn valuable skills while having immense fun. With us, students are encouraged to push their boundaries whilst kept safe in a supportive environment.

Your pupils couldn’t be in more experienced or safer hands when bodyboarding in Newquay.
