Matt Rippin - Bali 2024

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Matt Rippin on our 2024 Bali bodyboard holiday, and what a fantastic week it was! Matt joined us for a wave filled week, as we explored everything this tropical paradise has to offer.

Here’s what Matt had to say about his experience on our TripAdvisor page:

“Thank you to Rob and Grant for an amazing week of bodyboarding and coaching. The guys pick the best locations that aren’t crowded at all!

The constructive coaching was world class and the use of long range land based cameras, drones and water cameras capture every wave.

I’m a General Manager of a Luxury Hotel on the Gold Coast Australia – the service we received was world class hospitality at its best. The accommodation was clean, functional and had great staff working there.

Thank you and it was great meeting like minded friends from all over the world.

P.S- Bucket-list adventure however I’ll be back!”

Director
I’ve competed at bodyboarding since I was 13. I won my first open division age 14. Then became obsessed with bodyboarding and competed all over the country then the world.  My best year I won 11 events in the UK and internationally. My best result ever was ranking the highest European in the World professional championships at Pipeline. I won over 30 events when I was competing full time.  I have written and edited 4 books on surfing and bodyboarding. Two of which have gone on to be best sellers in their area of specialty.
