Bodyboarding is not only an epic water sport, but for many people, it is a way of life. The adventure of chasing waves while immersing oneself in nature is not only rewarding but also helps improve the mental state of bodyboarders across the globe. • You won’t find a more physically demanding sport than bodyboarding. It is a full-body workout that engages various muscle groups, including those you never knew you had. This physical activity releases endorphins, the body's natural mood enhancers, which can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. It also makes you fully present in the moment. The combination of chasing the waves, feeling the ocean beneath you, and concentrating on the surf creates a state of mindfulness, promoting mental clarity. • Progressing in your bodyboarding skills can boost self-esteem and confidence. Overcoming the challenges of the ocean can translate to a sense of accomplishment in other areas of life. Also, the unpredictability of waves and weather conditions fosters mental resilience. Learning to navigate challenges in the ocean can translate to improved problem-solving skills and adaptability in everyday life. There is no denying that bodyboarding brings people together. Whether you join one of our epic bodyboard escapes, are part of a local community, or just share waves with friends, the social aspect of bodyboarding can enhance a sense of belonging and reduce feelings of isolation. • In this interview, Bodyboard Holidays founder Rob Barber catches up with Dr. Steve Graef, a psychologist and the Founder of Mindurance, an organisation that helps high performers minimise mental barriers and maximise the quality of life. He has joined the Bodyboard Holidays team in Portugal, Costa Rica, and El Salvador, embarking on a bodyboarding journey of his own. We have helped him go from a bodyboarding zero to a barrel-riding hero in no time at all. Listen to this interview to hear Dr. Steve’s journey and his insights into the mental health positives that bodyboarding brings. • For more information about our bodyboard retreats, escapes and coaching weekends head to https://bodyboard-holidays.com • Follow us for your daily bodyboard inspiration • • Facebook - / bodyboardholidays • • Instagram - / bodyboardholidays • • Tik Tok - / bodyboardholidays • SIGN UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER • For further tips, sign up for our newsletter here - https://shorturl.at/aeB24
