More about this experience

Introduction

Discover the thrill of bodyboarding in the stunning coastal town of Newquay, Cornwall with our Taster Bodyboard Lesson. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to improve your skills, this activity is designed to enhance your riding ability. With a small group size and experienced instructors, you'll receive personalized tuition to help you progress faster.

What to expect?

Bodyboarding offers a unique and exhilarating experience. Unlike surfing, bodyboards are smaller and lighter, making them easier to maneuver and learn on. This sport is also considered safer as the boards are made from foam, eliminating the risk of sharp edges and fins. As you ride the waves, your lowered center of gravity will give you an increased sensation of speed, making every wave feel like a thrilling blur. Within just 10 minutes of the lesson, even complete beginners will be catching white-water waves. You'll learn essential techniques such as paddling out, trimming correctly, and selecting the right waves for your ability. With practice and time in the water, the learning curve of bodyboarding skyrockets, allowing you to progress to unbroken waves for an unforgettable experience.

Our instructor Layla was excellent. She made our experience informative and fun. Her patience, encouragement and natural cheerfulness helped when we were wavy. And her love for the sea and sport infectious. We would definitely do it again. Massive thank you Layla.

We booked a family bodyboarding session, and we’ve since looked at booking from snorkelling and coasteering. Super-friendly staff, knowledgeable instructor, great family activity.

Just a fantastic experience. Layla was a great instructor. Can't wait to do the surfing. Fistral Beach Life is great xxx

We had Amy as our instructor and she was awesome. She took us to Fistral Beach and the conditions were great. Definitely wear a wet suit unless it’s really hot. We had plenty of time to enjoy the surf. Bodyboarding is great fun and if you haven’t tried it, you should use Newquay Activities Centre to have some fun. Thanks Amy!!!

James took us out today and all of us had a fantastic day learning to bodyboard (family lesson) Loved it so much with Jame’s excellent tuition that we are returning tomorrow to hire everything we need to go out in the forecasted bad weather and big waves. James was also very good with the kids and especially our daughter who was very interested in all that james was able to tell her about the jelly fish she found. Can’t wait to go out again thanks to our excellent family session with James.

Excellent few hours as newbies to this activity. As 50 somethings new to more adventurous activities in the water, we were both a little apprehensive, especially with the swell and size of the waves we had. Jacob our instructor from the Newquay Activity Centre was super patient, putting us both at ease from the start. With his expertise and guidance he had us catching the waves and having the best time. I would never have normally got into such a rough looking sea before and this has given me so much confidence going forward. Such wonderful memories that will stay with us both. Thank you so so much ❤️

We had a bodyboard lesson with James. He was a great guy - really friendly, knowledgeable and listened to any concerns we had about the activity. Really easy to book, we had to change our booking the day before and the team were really understanding and accommodating to get us onto something else as soon as possible! 10/10 would recommend and we can’t wait to come back and have another go!

James was a fantastic, fun, friendly and highly-experienced tutor who made the whole lesson an unforgettable and amazing experience from start to finish. Everyone at the centre was lovely, and nothing was a hassle. You can tell James and everyone there just love what they do. The atmosphere was just brilliant, the equipment was top notch, and the instruction was superb. Amazing, lifelong memories made - thank you! I will definitely be back, and I would love to head out on one of Rob's body boarding holidays. Those sound absolutely incredible. Thanks so much to everyone at Newquay Activity Centre, with particular thanks to James. See you again!

The whole team were so welcoming and friendly from the moment we made enquiries about booking, to our return from our bodyboarding session! Our 'teacher' Daisy was fantastic and gave brilliant instruction and endless enthusiasm to us and our two boys (aged 10 and 14). This was our third time bodyboarding with the centre, it's an absolute essential to our Newquay holiday!! Thank you!!

This is the second year we have used the Newquay Activity Centre and once again it was outstanding. They are organised, professional and have everything covered. This year we did bodyboarding with Amy. A few of the group thought this wouldn’t be as good as last year’s paddle boarding However everyone absolutely loved it. If you want to make the most out of your time in Cornwall an activity with this company is a must!
