We offer bodyboarding lessons for all ability levels and all ages.
The lessons can be as laid back or as formal as you like, with the emphasis being on learning in a fun, no pressure environment.

We run lessons all year round in and around Newquay in Cornwall, the more that you book the cheaper the lessons become and we offer the opportunity to hone your skills in Lanzarote, Bali and Morocco during our winter trips.

Bodyboarding offers a more accessible option to catching waves than surfing, it’s safer and the rewards come much quicker, whilst to master the sport at the top end the skill level is just as high as surfing.

We hope that the following information will help clear up any questions that you may have about Rob Barbers bodyboard coaching.

Who can learn to bodyboard?
Literally anybody, as long as you can swim. If you’re younger than eight you need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian as well. The upper age limit is open to anybody that feels they fancy a go. The lessons are pitched at a suitable level for each persons ability. Our coaching caters for complete novices that have never been in the sea before all the way up to professional standard riders. Our team of coaches includes European bodyboard champ Lisa Cutts.
