One of our staff favourite trips is filling fast.

El Salvador gives you warm water, empty tropical waves, fun beach and point breaks, incredible sunsets and that laid-back rhythm that makes it easy to switch off and enjoy every day.

It is one of those trips that delivers just as much out of the water as it does in it, which is why so many of our guests come home raving about it.

Our 12–19 January 2027 trip is now down to final spaces, our 28 January–4 February 2027 dates are filling fast, and 2028 dates are now live too.

Thinking about joining us on your own? 🌊

One of the questions we’re asked most often is:

“Will I be okay if I come on my own?”

The answer is always the same... absolutely.

Every year we welcome solo travellers from all over the world, and it never takes long before strangers become friends. There’s something about sharing waves, coaching sessions, meals and unforgettable experiences that brings people together incredibly quickly.

Our trips are made up of a real mix of solo travellers, couples, families and groups of friends, and everyone is there for the same reason - a love of bodyboarding and a great week in the ocean!

As Vicki says in this video, you don’t need to arrive knowing anyone to feel like you belong.

So if you’ve been thinking about joining us but weren’t sure because you’d be travelling solo, take this as your sign.

Head to bodyboard-holidays.com to find out more, or drop us a DM if you’d like to chat about what to expect. taken in Central America by @bodyboardholidays

When you’ve been bodyboarding for so long that an ice lolly break in the line-up becomes essential. 😂🍦🌊

Filmed during our Secret Morocco trip with Jeff Hubbard last month, this young legend had clearly found the perfect way to refuel between waves.

Warm water, sunshine, fun waves and plenty of time in the ocean. Secret Morocco is a pretty special place to spend a week bodyboarding.

Heading to the beach this summer? This is Damian Prisk’s No.1 bodyboarding safety tip. ☀️🌊

If you’re new to bodyboarding, or simply planning to spend more time in the sea this summer, this is one piece of advice you should always remember…

Ride between the red and yellow flags. 🟥🟨

When the RNLI lifeguards are on patrol, the flagged area is usually the safest place for swimmers and bodyboarders. Swimmers tend to stay closer to shore in the whitewater, while bodyboarders can often sit a little further out to catch the breaking waves.

It also keeps surfboards, SUPs, kayaks and other watercraft out of the area, making it a much safer place to learn, build confidence and enjoy your session.

And here’s the bonus… the lifeguards often position the flags where some of the best beginner-friendly waves are breaking. 🌊

At Bodyboard Holidays, safety always comes first. Our coaching team are qualified lifeguards and experienced bodyboard coaches, helping riders of all ages and abilities enjoy the ocean safely.

Could a bodyboard holiday be the reset your mind needs?

Comment RESET and we’ll send you our latest blog straight to your DMs.

This one comes from a very personal place.

In this week’s newsletter, Bodyboard Holidays founder Rob Barber wrote about losing two friends this year who took their own lives. Both were regular surfers. Both appeared, from the outside, to be enjoying life.

It was a heartbreaking reminder that we never really know what someone else may be carrying.

Our latest blog looks at why time in the ocean can feel so powerful. Not as a cure, and not as a magic fix, but as something that can help us feel more present, more connected and more grounded.

Movement. Friendship. Fresh air. Blue health. Less noise. A new challenge. Something positive to look forward to.

For many people, winter can feel heavy. Dark days, cold weather and everyday pressure can all build up. Sometimes, making time for the coast, checking in with the people around us, or simply having something hopeful on the horizon can make a real difference.

Comment RESET below and we’ll send you our latest blog.

And most importantly, if you’re struggling, or worried about someone else, please reach out to someone you trust. You’re not on your own. taken in Worldwide by @bodyboardholidays
