Central America Adventure With eBodyboarding Legends Jay & Vicki Reale

May 22, 2024
Jay and Vicky Reale bodyboarding in Costa Rica and El Salvador

Last winter’s Costa Rica and El Salvador Adventure hosted by Bodyboard Holidays welcomed some esteemed guests – none other than Jay and Vicki Reale, legendary owners of Ebodyboarding. Seeking refuge from the chilly Californian winter, Jay and Vicki joined the excursion to embark on a remarkable journey through Costa Rica and El Salvador alongside our team from Bodyboard Holidays. We put a huge focus on scoring excellent land and water footage of each of the riders on our trip and Jay and Vicki scored stacks of clips of them shredding in each of the tropical paradises. They supplemented this footage with vlog style clips of their times between each session. The video that they created has a fly on the wall feel to it which gives you a real feel for what the trip offers. So if you are thinking of joining the trip, this gives a really credible insight into the waves, the wildlife, the beaches, the accommodation, the food and the vibe.

Who are Ebodyboarding founders Jay and Vicki?

Former pro-bodyboarders, Jay and Vicki Reale founded Ebodyboarding in April 1999. eBodyboarding.com began in a small condo in San Clemente, California, USA. Fast forward to today, and it stands as the world’s largest retailer of bodyboarding gear, offering an extensive range of products along with expert advice. Jay and Vicki are long standing friends of Bodyboard Holidays and make any trip they come on a truly special experience offering their experience and expertise to all our guests.
