Kit Secrets For Surfing Epic Waves

November 29, 2022

You have probably spent a long time thinking about your next bodyboard trip abroad. Weeks, months or years may have passed by whilst you’re busy working away, saving up those hard earned bucks and dreaming about catching those warm water waves. Before you know it though the trip soon comes around, the dream is about to be lived. You just need to pack the essentials in your bags and get there, but that isn’t always as straightforward as it seems. Packing can be a stressful time, especially if you’re one of those that leaves it until the last minute!

Regardless, if you’re a last-minute packer or one of those who likes to be prepared a week or two in advance, sometimes the simplest of essentials are left forgotten. Not particularly great if you’re heading somewhere remote without a local shop in the neighbourhood.

Having spent over three decades chasing waves around the globe, Bodyboard Holidays founder and director Rob Barber has learnt a thing or two when it comes to what kit to take on a tropical trip. In this video he shares some of his wisdom demonstrating what works for him. Follow this advice and once your bags are packed, all you have to do is have an amazing holiday and save your brainpower and energy for those manoeuvres you’re looking to nail on the bodyboard trip you’ve worked so hard for.
