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!

In with the highs and out with a low! โ๏ธ๐
The sunshine has definitely shown up thanks to high pressure but unfortunately, the waves havenโt! The sea is looking flat, and we want to make sure the Tag Team Surf Competition is as fun as possibleโฆ and that means we need some proper surf!
To give us a better chance of more favourable conditions and knowing many of you may be away over the summer holidays, weโre looking to reschedule the event for September, with a few dates in mind.
Weโll be in touch with all competitors soon with the new date.
Thanks so much for your understanding and support. Don`t forget to keep an eye out here for updates! ๐๐โโ๏ธ

๐ A Heartfelt Thank you To The Port of Milford Haven ๐
We want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude for the incredible support weโve received this year. Without the backing of local partnerships and friends like the Port of Milford Haven , we simply wouldnโt be able to do what we do.
Their continued support is helping us reach a wide section of our coastal community and making a real, positive difference in so many lives. Thanks to their generosity:
๐โโ๏ธ Our adaptive surf sessions are now equipped with specially sponsored surfboards
๐ค Our accessible boat trips (run in conjunction with donations from Dale Sailing) have literally been fuelled by the Port of Milford Haven.
๐ And to top it all off , for our upcoming surf competition, t-shirts and runner-up prizes are also made possible through their support.
From the waves to the community connections being built on the beach and at sea, thank you, your support means the world to us and everyone who comes with Blue Horizons. . ๐๐
