Longboard Training 

Longboard Lab 

Monday 11th August

 

A full-day longboarding clinic at Bantham for intermediate surfers who want to refine their style, improve wave reading, and connect with community.

🌊 What is Longboard Lab?

Longboard Lab is a gender-neutral, skills-based clinic designed to support longboarders who want to deepen their understanding of logging. This isn’t a competition, it’s a chance to focus on the craft of longboarding: wave selection, positioning, cross-stepping, trimming, noseriding, and more.

​

You’ll be guided by experienced coaches and supported in the water, with plenty of space to ask questions, experiment, and get personalised feedback.

​​

Expect a laid-back but enriching day with like-minded surfers, right on Bantham beach.

​​

Who is it for?

Intermediate surfers who can paddle out and catch waves independently
Longboarders looking to progress with style, confidence, and flow
Anyone wanting to understand wave mechanics and improve footwork
Open to all genders – inclusive and welcoming vibes only
Bantham Boardriders members only - see details below 
This is not a beginner session, it’s for those ready to build on existing surf foundations.
