Lexi, who is studying Sport Studies with Physical Education, hopes to develop a career in sport after graduating. She said: "The activities in Bude were amazing and the experience was something I will never forget.
"My favourite experience was the surfing. Riding a wave is an amazing experience, but so is lying on a board and feeling the waves crashing over your back. It's a horrible sensation but it is also sublime, something that I wish everyone could experience.
"When I complete my Level 1 certificates I am choosing to regard it as my driving test since it’s the closest I can get to that particular rite of passage."
Dr Stidder said the Bude event "focused on a student-centred approach through the process of planning, performance and evaluation, to develop practical knowledge and understanding.
"By the end of the week students had experienced a choice of activities in a residential setting. They learned to appreciate issues related to activities in such environments, including safety and emergency, access, and environmental impacts. Students also attended a series of theoretically-based evening lectures related to the activities covered and gained National Governing Body coaching and performance awards in the process.”
