About us
Meet some of the Blue Horizons Team
Emma-Mary has been hooked on outdoor adventures and extreme sports since childhood. With 25 years of surf coaching under her belt, she’s also been a certified ski instructor, PE teacher, windsurf instructor, and ski rescuer in Scotland! (Basically, any job that lets her soak up the outdoors).
Her superpower? Noticing every flower and bird that flutters by, with a heart full of compassion and a love for life and people.
As a co-founder of Blue Horizons, Emma-Mary is living her dream of making surfing inclusive for all while spreading her passion for the great outdoors. She’s all about sharing the joy!

Meet Ollie, the co-founder of Blue Horizons, whose boundless energy and unwavering dedication ensure that our surf school is accessible to all.
Ollie is a qualified surf coach, adaptive surf coach and Beach lifeguard (and sometimes makes life a little brighter by also being an electrician)!
With a passion for surfing that rivals only his love for chocolate, Ollie’s knowledge of the Pembrokeshire coast, and his fun-loving, caring, and compassionate nature make him the ultimate surf coach for you.
Oh, and have we highlighted his mastery of “dad jokes” yet? Brace yourself for a tidal wave of fun with Ollie!

Becky’s love for all things ocean-related runs deep β not only is she a passionate surf coach, but she’s also a dedicated marine biologist.
When she’s not catching waves and spreading her surfing joy, you’ll often catch her exploring the wonders beneath the ocean’s surface or marveling at the vibrant life in Pembrokeshire’s rock pools. With her infectious enthusiasm, she’s an inspiring instructor both on and off the waves β and being around her is sure to get you excited too!
Oh, and did we mention she’s also a pro at crocheting? Sea creatures, of course!
(And let’s not forget β she’s behind 90% of the awesome photos we have! Credit where credit’s due!)

Ben’s journey with Blue Horizons began as a passionate volunteer for our inclusive surf projects, and now he’s on his way to becoming a fully trained ASI surf coachβhow awesome is that?
Despite his busy schedule, Ben somehow manages to squeeze in some surfing time (you’ll often spot him emerging from the waves at daybreak).
But wait, there’s more! He’s also a co-founder of another cool venture, Pobl Tir Mor, a Pembrokeshire CIC dedicated to revitalising the area. Plus, he’s teaming up with Visit Pembs and similar groups for some epic community events. Ben’s the ultimate multitasker with a serious knack for making wavesβin and out of the water!
With a lifetime of experience working with both kids and adults, Ben brings a sense of calmness and fun wherever he goes. Hang ten with Ben for a wave of laughter and adventure!

β€ Heart Warming & Positive News Alert! β€
Last year, we had the pleasure of meeting an incredible woman named Lizzie over coffee at Bubbleton Farm. Little did we know that meeting would lead to something truly special! Lizzie offered a generous donation to help our surfers and Blue Horizons, and thanks to her kindness, weβve been able to make a huge impact.
π Keeping Our Surfers Warm & Comfortable
We now have two heated rash vests, helping less mobile surfers stay warm and extend their time in the water.
π10 adapted wetsuits from Melloweseas, a French company that makes stretchy neoprene wetsuits with custom adaptations! These suits feature front and back zips (like putting on a pair of trousers), as well as zips in the arms and legs for easier access. As modelled by Mrs K in the picture.
πLizzie also found an amazing opportunity through the Finisterre Foundation, allowing us to apply for top-quality, ultra-warm, and accessible wetsuitsβensuring our surfers can stay in the water for longer!
π A New Surfboard for Greater Independence!
This year, we also have a brand-new 10-foot foam surfboard! This will be a game-changer for surfers with less balance and coordination, offering more buoyancy and a better chance to experience the thrill of independent surfing.
π The Impact?More waves, more smiles! π
Because of Lizzieβs generosity and help, a great many have/will have the chance to achieve what once seemed impossible. In every walk of life, there are hidden heroesβpeople working behind the scenes to make a difference.
π LIZZIE, you are one of them! π
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making the surf more accessible, inclusive, and life-changing for so many. πβ¨
With over Β£1000 left over from her donation, we look forward to showing you the next piece of equipment sponsored by Lizzie.

π The Power of Blue Seas and Open Spaces π
What is it about the open water that brings us together? Yesterdayβs boat trips gave us some beautiful answers:
π Watching people connect, and seeing new friends share a warm embrace after sharing life stories.
π Listening to an incredible gentleman with dementia recount his days as a geologistβdiscovering diamonds in South Africa and working in Dubai when it was still just a desert in the 1960s.
π Seeing the pure joy on someoneβs face as they steer a boat for the first time, feeling freedom at their fingertips.
π Hearing from a parent that this was the first time in months their son had relaxed, soaking in the peace of his surroundings.
π΄ββ οΈ Sharing laughter as someone pretended to be a pirate, humming the Pirates of the Caribbean theme, while others quietly watched the hypnotic swirl of water as we glided upriver.
The sea is so many things to so many peopleβa space for adventure, a haven for calm, or even a little of both. Yesterday, it was everything we could have hoped for.
π A huge thank you to @_dalesailing , Milford Haven Port Authority, and our fantastic skipper (you know who you are!) for your incredible generosity. These unforgettable moments wouldnβt have been possible without your support.
π₯ Weβre also thrilled to announce our collaboration with University of Wales Trinity Saint David! Media course students joined us to capture the magic of these moments, creating films as part of their projects. This partnership is all about providing real-world opportunities for the next generation of storytellers.
Providing boat experiences for over 30 people yesterday, we are excited to announce the next trips are on Sunday 15th December, please fill in the short form to attend: https://forms.gle/L1hRy5d6QMfyVbmLA
π Hereβs to many more magical days on the water. π

π Surfing Scheme `Brainwaves` Making Waves in Pembrokeshire! πββοΈ
After last years pilot scheme, βBrainwavesβ, is again giving individuals with neurological conditions and brain injuries in Pembrokeshire the chance to hit the waves! π Thanks to the incredible work of Hywel Dda University Health Board`s Community Neuro-rehabilitation Service (CNRS) and the support of the national lottery community fund, patients have been experiencing the joy of surfing at local beaches like Broadhaven North and Manorbier.
Under the guidance of adaptive surf instructors from Blue Horizons these sessions offer so much more than just fun on the water. From boosting physical health to lifting spirits, this surf therapy is proving to be a game-changer for participants. Paul Stott, a Therapy Assistant Practitioner at Hywel Dda UHB, is thrilled to bring the initiative to Pembrokeshire, building on the incredible foundation laid by @surfability_uk in Swansea.
One participant from the pilot scheme, shared his inspiring journey from being hesitant to surf due to balance issues, to catching waves and feeling a huge sense of achievement. His story is just one example of the positive impact this project is having on the group, offering social connection, empowerment, and new skills.
Weβre so excited to see where this goes! We canβt wait to watch the `Brainwaves` project continue to grow. Huge thanks to the amazing surf instructors, volunteers, and CNRS therapists who are making it all possible! π

π Making Waves for Young Carers in Pembrokeshire! π
We`re thrilled to share the incredible success of the surf lessons so far for young carers in Pembrokeshire! πββοΈπ
This brilliant initiative has provided a well-deserved break and a splash of fun for these amazing young individuals who dedicate so much of their time and energy to caring for others. The surf lessons not only offered them a chance to learn new skills but also to enjoy the beautiful beaches of Pembrokeshire, connect with peers, and experience the fun that can come with catching some waves. ππ
Letβs continue to support our young carers, ensuring they get the recognition, care, and opportunities they so rightly deserve. Here`s to more waves and more smiles in the future! ππͺ
