After a lively warm-up, the instructor will familiarise everyone with their equipment, ensuring boards, wetsuits, and fins are properly fitted for comfort and performance.

It’s easier to learn at a beginner level and not as physically demanding We guarantee you will catch a wave within the first five minutes of your lesson It’s brilliant for all ages and members of the family Boards are lighter to carry and ride – less energy spent before you even get in the water Statistically safer than surfing You can excel quickly with coaching from our team of expert instructors The kit is cheaper to purchase It’s easier to travel with a bodyboard It’s just as hard to master at the top end but it’s less challenging to learn the basics! ### What will we learn during our lesson?

Head bodyboarding instructor, Brendan tells us why he loves it so much! “To bodyboard at the highest level demands a great degree of skill and fitness, but at a beginner stage it’s one of the quickest and easiest ways to get used to riding waves. The sensation created by being close to the water is amazing, you’re in control and the fins help you quickly pick up speed to catch loads of waves.” ### Do I have to go out of my depth? Among other skills, we teach the jump launch technique which allows you to catch waves from waist depth water. There is no need to go any deeper unless you want to progress to riding green, unbroken waves using fins. ### Where will we learn to bodyboard? The centre is located just 500m from the UK’s most famous surfing destination and the Sunday Times’ No.1 beach for activities, Fistral Beach. Depending on the weather and swell conditions at Fistral Beach, we also run Bodyboarding lessons on the beaches in Newquay Bay just a few minutes walk from our centre on Fore Street. ### Where on the beach are you allowed to bodyboard? On patrolled beaches, RNLI lifeguards designate the safest areas to bodyboard with red and yellow flags. We will bodyboard between these flags; they indicate the lifeguarded area for bathing and bodyboarding. Black and white flags indicate the safest place for surfers and hard craft, like kayaks. Having separate areas means we won’t be sharing waves with those using larger, more dangerous equipment so there are no worries about collisions. ### Do you have to be a strong swimmer? No, although we ask that everybody who takes part in our bodyboard experiences can swim a minimum of 50 metres. Let us know if this will be difficult for you and we can advise on how we can facilitate your abilities best. Our lessons can be tailored so that your feet never need to leave the ground except when you’re riding a wave! ### Can we learn as a family? Yes! We run private family bodyboarding lessons tailored specifically to your group’s ages, abilities and numbers. ### When is the best time to bodyboard in Newquay? Bodyboarding is a year round activity, all you need is the right equipment and knowledge about the ocean conditions! Winter’s a great time to catch big swells. It makes an epic Christmas gift! We organise our bodyboarding lessons around swell conditions and the tide to ensure you get to ride the best quality waves every time. ### How long is a bodyboarding lesson? Every bodyboard lesson is two hours long. After arriving at the centre, you’ll be provided with the equipment and the two hours will begin when you are ready to hit the beach! If you’d like to stay down at the beach after your two-hour lesson for the remainder of the day, you can add Bodyboard Hire in the booking form. ### What equipment will we use during a bodyboard lesson? You will be provided with professional standard equipment when you arrive, suitable for all abilities from beginner to professional levels. You will get: Wetsuit – You’ll be given a full body neoprene suit designed to prevent chill whilst submerged in water. Bodyboard with leash– We’ll provide you with a board to match your height, weight and ability. Fins Fin socks- Neoprene socks to prevent rubbing from the fin straps ### Is it safe?

They’ve undertaken extensive First Aid training and we deliver regular in-house training to our staff so they have experience in all weather and ocean conditions. Every instructor must have years of personal experience in the water and we also work in close partnership with the RNLI presence on every beach to ensure your safety in and out of the water. ### What do I need to bring for my bodyboarding lesson?

From changing room to water’s edge is a 5-minute walk! You’ll make your way down to the beach as a group after changing in our centre. ### Will my valuables be safe? Lockers are available at the centre free of charge to ensure any valuables are safely stowed away whilst you’re down on the beach. There are also storage compartments available for the rest of your gear including clothes and shoes. Please note that any items are left at the guest’s own risk. ### What is the age limit? The minimum age limit for our group activities is 8 years old. However, we offer private sessions for every activity so no one has to miss out on bodyboarding! All our instructors have years of experience working with children of all ages. ### Will you ever cancel my session? We’re not afraid of some wind and rain, but Mother Nature occasionally intervenes and makes it impossible to run a safe session. In the unlikely event that this should happen, we would endeavour to change the date of your session or offer an alternative solution. ### Am I insured? All our sessions are fully insured and are covered in the price of the activity. ### Can I wear glasses in the water? We strongly advise against wearing glasses in the surf in case they fall off! However, you will be able to wear them during the instruction part of the lesson on the sand. They can then be stored with our first aid kits on the beach whilst you’re practicing in the water. We recommend disposable contact lenses wherever possible. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-02-121446-1.png - **Gallery image count**: 10 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
