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 โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 coachโhow 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 wavesโin 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!

๐ Making Waves for Young Carers in Pembrokeshire! ๐
We`re thrilled to share the incredible success of the surf lessons so far for young carers in Pembrokeshire! ๐โโ๏ธ๐
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. ๐๐
Letโs 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! ๐๐ช
Also a big thank you to @goodtrails for facilitating us and the young carers at Coppet Hall. ๐

Very Exciting News Alert!!! ๐จ๐ฅ๐
Our Queen bee Emma-Mary is a finalist for the Welsh Woman in Business Award (Social Enterprise Category).
So it`s time to celebrate the amazing person she is and her role as Director at Blue Horizons.
Three years ago, Emma-Mary had a vision to promote health and well-being within our Pembrokeshire community and to enable visitors to enjoy inclusive activities. This vision has blossomed and created a dedicated team of volunteers, instructors and staff all sharing the same passion, guided by this wonderful woman.
Emma-Marys love for the outdoors is contagious and inspiring. While she`d rather be outside on a sunny day, she has spent three years promoting accessible surf projects and community clubs. Her efforts ensure everyone can enjoy surfing in a safe, fun and nurturing environment.
From all of us at Blue Horizons, we would like to thank her for the guidance, support and joy she brings to our team. Award or not, she`ll always be our Queen bee and we`re incredibly fortunate to have her in our lives.

โจSEATED SURF`S EVERY THURSDAY โจ
We love our seated surf sessions, catching waves together is always lots of fun!
Here are a few commonly asked questions for those who haven`t tried it:
Do I need to have a beach wheel chair?
We have two beach wheelchairs and we will assist you on and off the beach.
How do the seated surf`s run?
We have lots more information on our website, under seated surfing.
How long are the sessions?
45 minutes on the water catching waves.
I`m a little nervous as I haven`t tried surfing before, should I be?
We are here to support you from the start. We understand trying anything new can be difficult and we design the sessions completely around each surfer and what feels comfortable for you.
