February Newquay Weekend Round Up - Bodyboard-Holidays
This video log covers our awesome February coaching weekend sponsored by Bodyboard depot.
The stars were aligned perfectly for each day as we enjoyed unusually mild sea temperatures, perfectly lined up 3ft waves and to top it off, blue skies and some glorious winter sunshine.
As always we split the group in to two separate ability groups, with the foundation group perfecting their cut backs and down the line trimming out at Towan beach. It was my job to take the shredder group to some slightly bigger waves not too far away, where we worked on our three sixty spins and projected rolls.
By the end of the weekend with three sessions in the water and some fine coaching from our Instructor Jamie Osborne everyone was making good progress. Combined with two video analysis sessions the crew were nailing three sixty’s, hitting the lip and starting to perform really solid El rollo’s.
And so the first coaching weekend of 2019 drew to a close. Despite it being winter, fun was had by all with loads of improvements. Roll on another year of bodyboard coaching weekends. We can’t wait for the next one.

April Newquay Weekend Round Up - Bodyboard-Holidays
Bodyboard-Holidays April coaching weekend was a great start to the summer and has got-ten everyone hyped for the season to come.
With the sea temperatures now on the rise and an absolutely perfect surf forecast the April coaching weekend sponsored by Section Bodyboarding was set to be a blast and it definitely did not disappoint.
With two groups of separate abilities the crew spilt up and on the first day of the weekend went to different locations in Newquay and surrounding areas.
They were greeted by empty line-ups and perfect waves at a semi secret spot not too far from home. The best part is they didn’t have to share the waves with anyone else.
The first day coincided with the first event of the year for Cornish Bodyboard Series. The competition was being held at a popular north coast beach break.
The crew all got in the vans and headed down to watch the competitors battle it out and watched Bodyboard-Holidays very own Chris Burton make it all the way to the final.
Rob Barber talked the group through what it was like to compete in a bodyboard competition and the gang even did some mock judging to get a feel for what it might be like to be a competition judge.
The next day was slightly smaller but equally as fun bodyboarding conditions. Both groups went to Fistral beach and had two hours of bodyboarding. They set about putting in to prac-tice some of the lessons learned from the previous days coaching and video analysis.
This weekend was a special one for all involved and every single person left with smiles on faces and memories of what was another fantastic Bodyboard coaching weekend. We can’t wait for the next one.

Newquay Weekends
Have you ever wondered what might be the best way to make fast improvements on your bodyboard? In this video you get just a small glimpse at what it’s like to attend on one of our Bodyboard coaching weekends.
Director of Bodyboard-Holidays Rob Barber decided 20 years ago that he wanted to give something back and share his knowledge of the sport to the masses. He put together a product that offered people the unique opportunity and tailor made, bespoke experience that ensured all participants new skills and technique, but most importantly to have a great time with other like minded bodyboarders in a focussed and structured environment. The emphasis is on improving at the sport and having fun at the same time.
Having been a Cornish local since he was a boy Rob’s knowledge of the area is second to none. During a coaching weekend, both him and his carefully selected team of instructors will put you on exactly the right waves for your skill set. With expert coaching, local guid-ing and knowledge of the area, video analysis and class room style coaching sessions you will be given targeted instruction to guarantee massive improvements over the course of the weekend.
Alongside being the best place to improve your riding a bodyboard coaching weekend is a great place to meet other likeminded boogers, whether it’s out back in the surf or over a glass of wine at the evening meal at our favourite local restaurant, being on a bodyboard coaching weekend is a great place to catch up with friends old or new and talk about all things boogie.
After delivering bodyboard weekends for the last two decades, Rob and his team can guarantee great bodyboarding advice, excellent guiding, delicious food and guaranteed social good times.
