Just a few lines to say how much of a great time we had last week during our body boarding lesson. We had two adults & one child and spent two excellent hours on Fistral beach learning to body board with Aidan, despite the bad weather we still had a great time and came back another afternoon to take up the rest of our 24hrs with the kit loaned to us due to bad weather on the first day, and spent two hours on the beach in the town centre due to extremely rough conditions on Fistral (ok for you pros but not for us novices!). We found the relaxed atmosphere of the school most enjoyable for the after lesson food and drink etc.
Hope you continue to grow and wish you, Aidan etc all the best for the future and may see you again when in the area for surfing lessons.
Regards
Steve Nicholson.

Dear Rob, Many thanks for this. Yes made great progress thanks to Aidens tuition and attention. It was nice to have a real mix of conditions throughout the week. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I'll definately book some follow up lesssons when I improve a bit.
Very interested in the Morocco trip so will be interested to see the info pack. Thanks again to Aiden, you've got a good instructor there!
Yours
Damian

What did you think of the Trip/s and/or Courses? Very good. Aiden was able to easily explain the basics of using the board to both of us and was thorough in covering the safety aspects of the session. Both me and Jack learnt a lot and had a lot of fun.
Highlights; Both me and Jack riding a wave together all the way to the shore!
Newquay. Sick mate!"

Hey Rob
Just a quick thank you for yesterday's lesson. The boys are all really hyper about getting out on the water again. It was great to see them getting out back. I picked up some great pointers from you and I know I have become well and truly addicted to the sport.... Unfortunately the job may well get in the way.We will keep going and contact you in the new year for another session
Thanks once again
Pete, Will, Ed and Max
lesson with Aidan last Friday. He is an enthusiastic and very patient teacher - and a natural with kids. They learned far more than we expected, in fact they have never stopped talking about it. We hope to get down to Cornwall May/June time for more lessons.
Warm regards,
Anne
Hi Rob
Just a quick note to say cheers for the lessons last week - I've attached a
pic of me in a near text book trim at Widemouth Bay on Friday afternoon after
picking up a new winter suit - proving that I did learn a lot.
They were really nice clean 3-4 foot waves - although the one on the pic doesn't appear too big - they were great.
Anyway - just to check - I got the Orca e-mail newsletter this morning and I'm
interested in coming on one of the Lanzarote Coaching Trips - in particular
any of the December trips. Basically with all the airmiles I build up through
work I can get free return flights with BA so it works out even better value
for me.
Cheers

I just want to say a massive thank you to Aiden for the lessons
last week that you gave my hubby, Matt. He really enjoyed them and has improved no end. I've got some great footage of him on the mega waves at Fistral last Thursday. Anyway, just had to say thanks mate, we will definately see you again next Spring.
All the best.
Caroline & Matt
Hi Rob,
Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you for giving us one of the highlights of our weekend in our bodyboarding session on Saturday. You all made the process - from booking through to the glass of bubbly - really easy and enjoyable.
We all had a fantastic time, even the girls who'd been a little hesitant about the lesson! Aiden was a really patient and enthusiastic teacher, and he really helped make it lots of fun for us all, so I hope you will pass on our appreciation to him too.
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that, after an all-important
post-boarding nap (and an essential cream tea), we managed to heartily partake in the Newquay nightlife too!
Our hen, Kate, had a great weekend, and I know that our session at the school helped make her big send-off really special.
Thanks again,
Megan.
Just a quick line to say thanks for the lesson, I hope your feeling
better.
We had a great time on Sunday 3rd July, all of us learnt quite a lot and put it to good use the rest of the week by, the end we were all trimming with our hands and body in the right position and a couple of us got the hang on the bottom turn (Next on the list the big air and 360 !)
Thanks Again
Simon

Many thanks for a cracking Body Boarding Session, as you said we couldn't have wished for better conditions.
If I hear of anyone heading down to Newquay looking to do some body boarding/surfing I shall certainly pass on your details. Likewise if I get down there somtime in the furture I'll be in touch.
Many Thanks
Craig (stag party 30th April)
