August 2008, Urban Surf is launched nationwide by Lovely and Healthy

Surfing is a fashionable and fun sport, which is a great workout for the whole body. However, traditionally it was only available to those privilaged few with access to the sea waves. Until now!

Lovely and Healthy has launched a brand new exercise class, which aims to bring surfing into the office, school and home. Combining a range of moves and exercises needed in traditional surfing, Urban Surf is a great way to stay in shape, reduce stress and have fun.

Working with the Ollypop towel, we teach from the basic 'pop-up' (jumping from your stomach to standing) through to advanced level simulations of the waves.Accompanied by a summer soundtrack, you'll be able to hear the waves!

Feedback from our first bookings have been 100% positive with all attendees at Clinphone group saying they would return to similar exercise classes, and recommend them to a friend.

For more infomation, download our Urban Surf Booklet for some basic moves and exercises involved in our classes. Also check out the Ollypop website, for some cool product infomation and surfing news.
