Are you surfing like a complete banana? 🍌 😂
That’s how Rusty describes the moment you watch yourself back on video and realise your riding doesn’t always look how it feels.
Even for someone with as much experience as Rusty, video analysis can highlight the small things you don’t always notice in the water. Positioning, weight distribution and timing can all make a big difference.
Rusty has joined us in Bali, El Salvador and Costa Rica, and despite calling Bali home, he still chooses to spend time with us in Nusa Lembongan.
That says plenty.
We’ve just launched our new Nusa Lembongan trip for 2027:
📅 28 March - 05 April 2027
If you’d like to join us for world-class waves, expert coaching, detailed video analysis and a brilliant week on the island… hit the link!

NEW NUSA LEMBONGAN DATE ADDED FOR 2027 🇮🇩
Our October trip has been sold out for quite some time, and plenty of you have asked when the next opportunity would be.
We can now confirm a new date: 28 March to 5 April 2027.
The trip is built around getting you into the right waves and helping you make real progress while you are there. Our coaching team checks the conditions each day, chooses the best breaks for the group and uses a private surf boat to reach different spots around the island.
The coaching is personal and practical. Your coaches will be in the water with you, helping with everything from wave selection to technique. Sessions are professionally filmed too, giving you the chance to review your riding and see exactly where you can improve.
This trip is best suited for bodyboarders looking for quality time in the water, knowledgeable coaching and a good group to share it with.
When you are not bodyboarding, there is beachfront bungalow accommodation overlooking the lagoon, brilliant snorkelling, warm water and plenty of time to enjoy the island.
The new date is now open for bookings.

Nuno had wanted to visit Nusa Lembongan for years…
When he finally joined us, it was everything he hoped it would be. Great waves, a brilliant group, plenty to explore away from the waves, and a standout session that he will remember for a long time.
He’s joined us on other Bodyboard Holidays trips too, including Southern Sumatra, as well as several of our UK coaching events.
That says a lot.

Getting smoked by endless sets and burning all your energy trying to get back out?
In our latest video, 2017 World Champion Iain Campbell and Rob Barber break down how to make your paddle-out easier by conserving energy, finding lower-impact zones and timing your push back out with the lulls.
It’s all about using your brain as much as your brawn and making smarter decisions when the ocean just keeps coming at you.
This one was filmed during one of our Nusa Lembongan trips, where conditions like these are the perfect classroom for improving wave reading, positioning and ocean awareness.
Head to our YouTube channel to watch the full video.
And if Nusa Lembongan looks like your kind of adventure, we’ve just launched a brand-new trip for 2027.

He came alone… and left a better bodyboarder 🌴🇨🇷
Juan travelled all the way from Mexico City to join us in Costa Rica with one simple goal: to improve his bodyboarding.
After a week of expert coaching, daily video analysis and incredible waves, he left with more confidence in bigger surf, stronger paddling and duck diving, improved technique and a clear idea of what to work on next.
But it wasn’t just the bodyboarding.
Juan arrived on his own and left with an amazing group of new friends, unforgettable memories and a week he’ll never forget.
And you could be next 👀
🌴 We now have just a few spaces remaining for our 2027 Costa Rica trip.
Warm water, world-class waves, expert coaching and a group of like-minded bodyboarders who all want to progress and have an incredible week along the way.

Jeff Hubbard doing Jeff Hubbard things at Pipeline. 🤯🌊
A little Friday inspiration from one of the very best to ever do it, filmed back home in Hawaii and featured in the new video now showing on the Hubboards YouTube channel. Definitely worth a watch. 🔥
We had an epic week with Jeff in Secret Morocco earlier this year, sharing waves, learning from him in and out of the water and watching first-hand just how much knowledge he has to pass on.
The good news? He’s coming back. 🇲🇦
Jeff has already booked his flights for our 2027 Secret Morocco trip, and we can’t wait to do it all again.
Fancy joining him and fine-tuning your bodyboarding with one of the best in the business?
