Rob Barber is not only the founder of Bodyboard Holidays - he is also a former European and British Bodyboarding Number 1. After travelling to Sumatra in the early noughties he was inspired to create a unique bodyboarding adventure experience for like-minded people. It’s a real treat to have him onboard this trip, he first travelled to Indonesia in 1995 and his years of experience means you’ll be learning from the very best.
Grant is the Indonesia resort manager for Bodyboard Holidays and will be your go-to guy for everything. Originally from Newquay, he learned to bodyboard when he was 6 years old and joined Bodyboard Holidays on an Indonesia trip as a shadow guide many years ago - he loved it so much he moved there! Indonesia is the perfect place to teach bodyboarding and Grant is thrilled to show you his favourite waves. He loves taking people to the best waves in the world, scoring sessions alongside them and watching people improve under his coaching.
Jacob has been voted as instructor of the year for 2 years in a row for good reason. Maturity beyond his years, strong in the water (he’s a triathlete as well as a bodyboarder), a great explainer and definitely the biggest fins out of any of the team (he’s a size 12 shoe and 6 foot 4 inches tall). Jacob flew through the 4 month instructor training course, climbed the ladder of achievement among his peers and now finds himself working on our camps each winter. When he’s not working for Bodyboard Holidays he is training aspirant watersports and surfing instructors. He’s extremely safety conscious, knowledgeable and approachable. If you hear him being called ‘John John’ it’s because of his likeness to World surfing champion John John Florence!
Rendy is a pro photographer who will be on hand dedicated to catching shots of you on the best waves in the world. Born and raised in Sumatra, he has unrivalled knowledge of the waves, lifestyle and culture. Using drones, in-water and on-land footage you’ll get a media package with amazing footage of your shredding waves by the end of the week.
