This girl ♥️’s to boogie!

Congratulations to Cheryl Arnold on grabbing ‘Club Person of the Year’ at 😊

Chezza has joined us on many trips over the past 15 years or so and her passion for the boog’ is contagious to say the least! Her stoke for catching waves has always been strong, but under our guidance we’ve watched her go from a wary beginner to an all out charger. 🔥 She last joined us in Nusa Lembongan and what an epic trip that was - we can’t wait for the next one!

This girl absolutely shreds and it’s a pleasure to have her as part of our community of bodyboard lovers! ✨

Keep up the good work Chez and we’ll see you amongst the waves soon! 🌊 🤙🏻

Are you part of a bodyboard club and if so which one? We would love to hear what your local club is doing for the bodyboarding community! 👊🏻

Bristol Bodyboarders Club Coaching Weekend Recap!

What a weekend! 🌊 Our recent Bristol Bodyboarders Club Coaching Weekend was a huge success, packed with progression, group bonding, and epic waves. 🙌

🏆 Two riders were awarded for showing the most incredible progression throughout the weekend. Stuart Crail bagged the board kindly sponsored by NMD and Rich Keen left with the “Instructors Rider of The Weekend” award, but in truth, the biggest winner was UK bodyboarding! Over 20 riders left with improved wave-riding skills and a ton of knowledge to take their bodyboarding to the next level. 💪

The mix of on-land and in-water coaching, paired with video analysis sessions, helped everyone push their limits—no matter their starting ability. From smaller, playful waves to more challenging sets, there was something for everyone to tackle!

✨ We even had a star appearance from 3X World Champion Jeff Hubbard! He joined us for an exclusive interview, answering questions from club members. Needless to say, everyone was stoked to gain insights from one of the best in the world!

This weekend wasn’t just about riding waves—it was about building relationships too. With shared accommodation, some club members met for the first time and bonded over beers, an epic group meal, and shared stoke. 🍻

📅 Mark your calendars! We’re already locked in for next year: 29–30 January 2025. If this year’s progression was anything to go by, next year will be even bigger and better!

Huge thanks to everyone who came along and made this such a special event. Let’s keep the momentum going and keep pushing UK bodyboarding to new heights!

23/11/2024

What do you get when you bring together over 20 frothing bodyboarders looking to up their game? A whole lot of fun!

It’s been an epic start to our Bristol Bodyboarders Club exclusive coaching weekend in Newquay, Cornwall. After over three hours in the ocean, the progress amongst the group has been insane!

We’ve been working on paddling techniques, duck diving, wave selection, spins, and rolls. The crew started with a free surf to show where they’re at with their wave riding. Then, it was onto some on-the-beach coaching before heading back into the water for hands-on guidance—and the results speak for themselves!

From improved wave selection to nailing those spins and rolls, the crew has smashed it under the watchful eyes of our coaches. Many have landed their first spins, and everyone is taking their skills to the next level.

After three hours of salty fun, we hit the classroom to review footage, break down each wave, and refine technique further. Then, it was time to refuel with pizza and some locally sourced craft ales and ciders at one of our favorite local spots. The crew has now hit the town for a couple more (not too many, though—another big day tomorrow!).

🚨 Our 2025 dates are now live, and spots are already being snapped up! 🚨

In memory of Sam,

It’s never easy losing one of your own but it’s always a beautiful moment when a community comes together to celebrate the life of someone they love. Our dear friend Sam buckle will be greatly missed and his legacy will always be an important part of UK bodyboarding.

Gone, but never to be forgotten, Sam Buckle Rest In Peace

An awesome start to our coaching weekend! The first day involved a 'progression session' at The Wave in Bristol with awesome results 🔥

The 2017 world champ 🏆 shared advice in the classroom before demonstrating his skills in the water.

A huge focus was placed on riding in the pocket, rail control, tightening spins, then looping rolls ⚡️our guests hit the pool and showed huge improvements with amazing vibes in the water 😃

Today the crew hit the ocean 🧜🏽‍♀️

Watch our stories for updates.

If you'd like to improve your riding with the World Champ, grab a place on our January weekend 🌊 final spaces available.

Facing Your Bodyboarding Fears 🌊 Fear of the ocean—it’s something every bodyboarder experiences at some point. Whether you’re just starting out or tackling bigger waves, it’s a natural part of the journey.

With support from our instructors, she refined her technique, built confidence, and transformed her experience in the water. 💪 We were also joined by our friend, Dr Steve, a sport psychologist, who shared fascinating insights into why humans often fear the ocean and explained how to rationalise and manage these feelings. 🌊 Click here to watch the full video ->> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCHNZ6HcjDE ✨ Ready to take on your fears?
