Great to see another bodyboard competition happening here in the UK. 🌊👏

A huge well done to Mason Brooke on taking the win at the first ever bodyboard competition in Porthleven.

Even better to see bodyboarding being given a proper place alongside the local surf scene, with a great turnout and plenty of support from the community.

Big credit to Porthleven Surf Club, Alex Wake and everyone who helped make the event happen.

Hopefully the first of many. 🤙🏼

🦗 You never know who you might bump into when you’re travelling the world chasing waves! 😂🌊

One of our guests in El Salvador paddled over to us with a rather unexpected passenger hitching a ride on their head!

Not quite the surfing buddy we were expecting! 🇸🇻

From incredible waves to unexpected wildlife encounters, there’s never a dull moment on our bodyboarding trips.

And it’s moments like these that make travelling and sharing waves with great people so memorable.

🌍 Fancy joining us on our next adventure? We’ve got bodyboarding trips across Central America and beyond, with expert coaching, great waves and plenty of stories to take home.

🤯 From never landing an El Rollo to nailing THREE in one session!

When Braxton joined us in Portugal with his dad, his main goal was simple: spend some quality time together, enjoy the waves and make the most of every minute in the water. 🇵🇹

Despite years of bodyboarding, he’d never had professional coaching and had yet to land an El Rollo.

Fast-forward one week, and everything had changed!

With coaching and daily video analysis from Mave and the team, plus plenty of determination, Braxton went from never landing an El Rollo to nailing three in one session! 🔥

But the best part of this story isn’t just the progression.

It’s the time Braxton got to spend with his dad, the friendships made along the way and the memories they’ll take home.

And they enjoyed it so much that they’ve BOTH already booked to join us in Central America for their next adventure! 🌎

This is what Bodyboard Holidays is all about. Better bodyboarding, great people and experiences that keep you coming back.

🌊 Fancy seeing what you could achieve in a week? Our Portugal trips sell out well in advance, so don’t leave it too late!

Some waves are scarier than others… 🎃🤡

Happy Halloween from all of us at Bodyboard Holidays! 👻

Wishing you plenty of monster swells, deep dark barrels and absolutely terrifying amounts of time in the water. 🌊

What’s scarier… a heavy closeout or a clown sharing your barrel? 💀

No school like the old school. 👑🌊

Sometimes the most satisfying riding is all about creativity, timing and making the most of the wave face.

So what do you prefer watching?

Huge airs or tight, technical manoeuvres? 👇🏽

🌊 Think you’re not good enough to join a bodyboarding trip? Think again!

One of the biggest misconceptions about our coaching holidays is that you need to be an experienced rider to come along.

The reality? Our trips welcome everyone from complete beginners catching their first green waves to advanced riders working on barrels, spins and more technical manoeuvres.

And Portugal is a perfect example! 🇵🇹

With access to two different coastlines and a huge variety of waves, we can split guests into coaching groups based on their ability, choosing the best conditions for each group.

Add in expert coaching, daily video analysis and plenty of time in the water, and you’ve got everything you need to take your riding further.

It’s no surprise Portugal is one of our most popular destinations, with trips regularly selling out well in advance!

🇸🇻 Could you imagine taking on the waves of El Salvador after just ONE year of bodyboarding? 🌊

That’s exactly what Dominika did earlier this year, and her progression has been incredible!

We’re loving seeing more and more women joining our coaching weekends and international trips, and Dominika is a brilliant example of what can happen when you combine determination, great waves and the right support.

Having already joined us in Portugal, at The Wave with Jeff Hubbard and on several UK coaching weekends, Dominika was ready for her next challenge.

Her goals? Catch more green waves, improve her trimming, hold a better high line and build confidence in different conditions.

Fast forward one week in El Salvador, and she was riding with more confidence, finding better lines and even starting to work on her 360s! 🙌

But what makes these trips so special isn’t just the progression.

It’s the friendships, the encouragement and sharing unforgettable experiences with people who love bodyboarding just as much as you do.

And you certainly don’t need to be an expert to join us!

🇸🇻 Fancy experiencing El Salvador for yourself?

We’ve got the FINAL SPACES available on our January and February 2027 trips, with coaching tailored to your ability and goals.

The autumn/winter swell season has well and truly arrived in the UK. 🌊🔥

Over the past week or so, all corners of the Isles have been lighting up, with some seriously good waves showing up around the coast.

Here are a few of our favourite shots we’ve come across so far. 📸 Lukasz Kowalski Jamie Gibbard Steven Clarey Colin Crowther

Which one would you most want to paddle out into? 👀👇

If waves like these get you fired up and you’d love to build the confidence, technique and experience to take on bigger and better surf, we’ve still got a few spaces left on our autumn and winter coaching weekends.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen the fundamentals, improve your wave reading or push your riding to the next level, we’d love to help.

Head to bodyboard-holidays.com to find out more and secure one of the final spaces. 🤙🏼

And if you’ve scored somewhere good recently, tell us where the best waves have been. 🌊

As one epic Portugal trip comes to a close, we’re already looking forward to the next one. 🇵🇹🌊

This October has been a special one.

We’ve had guests join us from the UK, Europe, North America and South America, all sharing waves, progressing their riding and making the most of everything Portugal has to offer.

The stoke levels have been through the roof, and perhaps the biggest compliment of all is that many of this week’s guests have already booked their next Bodyboard Holidays adventure, with some choosing to come straight back to Portugal and do it all again next year.

Next October is now sold out, and only a few spaces remain across our other Portugal dates.

So if you fancy a week of great waves, expert coaching, progression, good people and plenty of time in the ocean, now’s the time to get in touch.

Drop us a DM, send us a WhatsApp message or head to bodyboard-holidays.com to find out more.

We’d love to have you along for the next one. 🤙🏼
