Bodyboarding & it's benefits....

Bodyboarding & it's benefits....

Here at Sugar Bay we have the most awesome stretch of coastline. One of the many amazing sporting activities we offer is Bodyboarding. As you may or may not know, we have top equipment here at Sugar Bay; bodyboards, fins, rash-vests & wetsuits as well as a professional trainer that can teach you all the busting moves you can do while bodyboarding.

I just wanted to write down a few reason's why bodyboarding is so beneficial to you. Firstly, being out in the warm water, close to nature & becoming part of the ocean & all it's glories is an experience you will never forget. Bodyboarding teaches you balance, co-ordination, helps build self-confidence & self-esteem. Catching your first wave... Riding it from the back-line to the shore break will leave you craving more & more! It's a great thing learning about the ocean & bodyboarding can teach you all this. You learn to read when it's safe, when the low & high tides are, how to look for rips & strong currents...all the time growing in confidence.

One lesson we must always keep in mind.... The ocean can be unpredictable & you must learn to respect it at all times.

We at Sugar Bay can't wait to have you with us & to share this experience with you.

Hope you all have an awesome day.
