Improver Bodyboarding Session
Improver Bodyboarding
Improver bodyboarding takes place in the reef area of the lake and is the perfect next step for bodyboarders who have mastered the art of catching waves in the bay. On this session you will be exclusively with other bodyboarders on the reef, learning how to move around the lake wearing swim fins, as well as how to position yourself to take off and catch unbroken waves.
Our Improver bodyboarding sessions offer a range of open-faced waves. Some have faces with a soft incline and slow peeling speed, while others break more rapidly with steeper sections. The host will be on hand to give all body boarders great tips and advice on how best to ride this wave, developing the ability to take off and trim along an unbroken wave face.
