Body board lesson intro - Awesome day one learning to Bodyboard. Amy was a great patient teacher, worked at our pace. Learned so much of what we have been doing wrong. After the lesson we went out for another 3 hours to practice. Looking forward to Day 2 tomorrow. Many thanks Amy and Newquay Acrivity Centre

great experience - Had a fantastic experience bodyboarding for the first time with James as an instructor. I was a complete beginner and he was very friendly, knowledgeable and felt safe going out with him. Well priced at £60 as this included hire of wetsuit, board and use of showers, changing rooms and lockers. Would definitely go again and would be fantastic to have James as instructor again!

Great experience with James as our instructor. - Had an amazing time with James as our instructor. He was very friendly, very informative. Started with safety training followed by technique then we were given plenty of time to enjoy being in the water and he was always able to advise where we could improve. He was also very knowledgeable about where to find further information after our lesson, renting kit, finding the best beaches at the right time for body boarding etc. would highly recommend.

It was fab. Highly recommended. - Great experience. Sasha is a superstar. We had a brief lesson on the sand and then straight into the sea to catch some waves. I got some top tips. Everyone in the company is lovely.

Bodyboard, Coasteer & Kayak/SUP - My son & I had 2 days booked which consisted of a Bodyboarding lesson on Tuesday with Ellie & the Coasteer/SUP/snorkelling the next day with Rosie. Both the girls were excellent. Patient, helpful, knowledgeable and full of interesting facts which I loved! Safety briefing was very indepth and this helped the sessions go off without any hiccups. My son, 17, loved it as did I. GS

Absolutely amazing experience 100% recommend - Absolutely amazing experience! I’d never tried bodyboarding before, so we booked a private lesson to get a proper taster — and I’m so glad we did! I was a bit nervous at first, but Alex instantly put me at ease. I feel the cold easily, so I asked for a thicker wetsuit (even in summer!), and not once did I feel silly — Alex just sorted it for me, no fuss. I really appreciated that. On the walk down to the beach, we had a great chat, and once we arrived, Alex gave clear, calm instructions that made everything feel so manageable. Out in the water, I took a few wipeouts early on, but Alex’s patience and encouragement helped me relax. He explained everything — from wave timing to body positioning — until it all clicked. And when it did… wow! That feeling is addictive! I’m officially hooked. Huge thanks to Alex and the team at Newquay Activity Centre — if you’re after a chilled, supportive, and super professional intro to bodyboarding, this is the place to go. 100% recommend! 😊
