Turner shares his stoke!

We were thrilled to have Turner Harmon, a seasoned Californian bodyboarder with over 30 years of experience, join us on our recent trip to El Salvador. Turner’s infectious enthusiasm and deep love for the sport made our time together at this incredible destination truly unforgettable.

In his testimonial, Turner raved about El Salvador, describing it as “exceptional” and highlighting the incredible waves and welcoming atmosphere. He also commended the positive impact of the support provided by the Bodyboard Holidays team to the local community in El Salvador.

Turner’s kind words reflect the positivity we strive to spread wherever we go. Notably, Turner is a regular face on the Californian competition scene and often joins bodyboarding legend Jay Reale on the podium.

During our trip, we were delighted to reconnect with old friends, including Jay and Vicki Reale, who join us each year for this incredible experience. Turner’s friendship with the Reale’s added an extra layer of fun with a touch of friendly rivalry when amongst the waves.

Are you interested in joining us for an amazing bodyboarding adventure and meeting like-minded enthusiasts from around the world? We visit El Salvador in late January each year and the consistency of the waves has blown our mind year on year. 

Whether you’re keen on exploring Central America, going on a strike mission in Europe or Africa, or dreaming of riding the bucket list waves of Indonesia, we look forward to welcoming you on our next 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.
