Great fun and inclusive group Great to learn how to bodyboard with the basics like how to pick waves, trim in the green and duck diving. Very much a beginner but the coaches Damien, James and Alex (on video duty) had some useful tips with the post-video session essential learning for everyone. Mixed skills and as a female, I found the guys were all very welcoming and inclusive and stoked (yes that’s the word) when I got out back with them. Bit of bonding over a pizza and drink later and some quality new friends ‘with similar interests’. Sorted! If you haven’t boarded before I would give a coaching weekend a go, it’s really really fun. They’ll help you pick board size and equipment etc if you need it.

Just attended the Science bodyboard coaching weekend. Absolutely amazing coaching from Damian and the two James and not forgetting Alex shooting videos from the beach. Met fellow boogers from all over the world and great times were had by all. A must do for anyone wanting to get into bodyboarding or looking to see their ability skyrocket to the next level

Amazing weekend for me and the Mrs! Just returned from the Science coaching weekend and had an amazing time. Damian and James coaching us out on water was unreal. Their wave knowledge and patience with a mixed group, was second to none. Also a great shout out to James on day 1, taking us through the basics and Alex behind the scenes, giving us all the recordings and photos from the session. An amazing experience. Already looking to book our next trip. If you're looking to take your bodyboarding to the next level or even understand the basics, then I highly recommend Bodyboard Holidays.

Just completed a coaching day at The Wave Bristol with Ian Campbell and Damien Prisk, organised by Bodyboarding holidays Team. What an awesome day, with coaching sessions before entering the water and analysis session after the water session, discussing all the brilliant land and water footage to understand where we can improve our bodyboarding skills moving forward and most of all having the fun that we had and so many like minded people I met. If you're looking to learn or improve your bodyboarding, I'd 100% recommend this to anyone willing to learn and have some fun. Thank you BBH for an awesome day YEWH!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

I attended the Iain Campbell coaching event at The Wave on Saturday, this was the second coaching event I’ve attended with Bodyboard Holidays and as with the first this one was exceptional. Rob, Damian and Iain’s attention to detail in the coaching and video analysis is second to none and their excitement and enthusiasm for everyone’s riding and improvement is infectious. It’s so great to have an opportunity to hang out with likeminded boogers and just soak up the positive vibes and chat about bodyboarding, trips, waves, manoeuvres and technique. I would 100% recommend BBH to anyone who’s into bodyboarding and who wants to improve their riding, even if you’ve done it for years you’ll come away with some nuggets that will progress your riding even further. Thanks again to all the crew that made it such a great event, I hope we get to share more waves together in the future 🤙🏻

Best bodyboard coaching in the UK and abroad. My partner and I attended the coaching day at The Wave in Bristol. The coaching from Iain Campbell, Damien Prisk, Rob Barber, Lisa Cutts and Rosita was second to none. It was awesome to share waves with such a stoked crew of like minded boogers. Fun, smiles and great waves all round and as ever came away with more techniques to work on.

Just attended the Bodyboard holidays wavepool session and have to say (as always) the team delivered high quality coaching and great stoke. Been on a Portugal trip and two coaching weekends and have to say they are excellent. Would recommend them to anyone wanting to improve their bodyboarding and just enjoy the waves. Rob Barber and Damien Prisk/Ian Campbell and everyone involved in the team are super-friendly and will always go out of their way to ensure you have a great trip.

Had a great coaching day at The Wave in Bristol with Rob, Iain, Damian and all at Bodyboard Holidays! It was not only great fun, but we had excellent pre surf instruction, awesome live feedback in the pool and then video analysis (for that all important reflection and learning). Thanks again for a fun Saturday!
