Fantastic Bodyboarding Session with Young Children!

Fantastic morning learning to bodyboard with my two children (aged 10 and 8). Lucy, the instructor, was brilliant – really engaging and fun with the children, and lots of information and chat with the adults.

Recommend the Bodyboarding

We did a bodyboarding session to get into it: great fun, and Charlie and Barnaby were very friendly instructors. They were especially good with the smaller kids in the group. Looking forward to a surfing session next week

Bodyboarding Fun at Widemouth Beach

We had a bodyboarding lesson with Shane at Widemouth Beach on the first day of our holiday in Bude and it was fantastic. The kids (6 and 8) were really looking forward to it and enjoyed it that much that we booked another session a few days later. The instructor, Shane, was great….

Excellent Bodyboarding Lesson for Kids

We contacted Robin on our first day in Widemouth bay and he sorted out a bodyboarding lesson for our kids at short notice with a nice discount thrown in. They enjoyed being taught by Puffs who was very patient and it was great to see them bodyboarding confidently by the end of the lesson. The lesson was the highlight of their holiday!
