What to expect
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 lowered centre of gravity increases the feeling of speed. This means that catching even the slowest of waves will make you feel like you’re whizzing past the rest of your group in a magnificent blur!
If you’re a complete beginner, we guarantee you’ll be catching your first white-water wave within the first 10 minutes of the lesson! We’ll teach you how to paddle out, trim correctly and how to select the right kind of waves for your ability.
Bodyboarding is addictive to learn due to early goals being quickly attained. The initial learning curve of bodyboarding skyrockets exponentially with solid practice and time in the water. Our expert instructors will quickly progress you from broken white-water waves, to green, unbroken) waves for an unforgettable experience.

We had a fantastic body boarding session with Ben (myself and children 8 and 4) - my son rated it 299 out of 10! It was great fun, we learned a lot and felt very safe the whole time. The centre was clean and well organised, the kit was new and good quality and all staff were really friendly. I’d highly recommend for activities in Newquay.What a brilliant experience bodyboarding was! Our boys are 17 and 18 so quite tricky to book something that we would all agree to/enjoy!

What a brilliant experience bodyboarding was! Our boys are 17 and 18 so quite tricky to book something that we would all agree to/enjoy! Customer service was second to none, when a problem arose with the date. Our instructor was Steff and she was a dream. Made both of the boys smile and helped everyone with their technique throughout. The session flew by and we all said that, had it not been our last day, we would have bought/hired the gear, to go again. Many thanks to all.Great bodyboarding family lesson with JB.

Really good taster lesson, Harry (jonesy) was my instructor and was very thorough from the start, beach safety and warm up right through to getting the group on waves and teaching me how to turn and when to select which direction to go. Was a mixed age group, i was the youngest at 9, Harry's coaching really gave me confidence to get "out back" and catch bigger waves.We enjoyed very much our first bodyboarding experience: jonesy was very experienced, gave us good tips and kept us safe. Very friendly staff. Great experience, highly recommended!
