December 4, 2023

During our recent bodyboarding retreats in Indonesia, Rob Barber, the mastermind behind Bodyboard Holidays, had a chance encounter with the iconic Mike Stewart during an island-hopping strike mission. Amidst the exchange of waves and laughter, Rob noticed a subtle adjustment in Mike’s hand positioning while navigating certain waves.

In a generous gesture, Mike was kind enough to share the insights behind this innovative technique. What are your impressions?

If you’re looking for the ultimate destination to fine tune your riding in perfect waves then why not book on our Sumatra bodyboard holiday.

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.
