On May 1, it s time to celebrate International Bodysurfing Day (IBSD).
After all, the art of riding waves without a buoyant watercraft dates as far back as 2,000 B.C. and predates board riding.
The initiative was soft-launched in 2020 by John P. Murphy, an American writer and teacher who lives in Puerto Escondido, Mexico.
Murphy had already started Los Cabrones, an open bodysurf club that promotes the sport via weekly get-togethers and free water safety clinics.
One day, he decided to create a local competition with a sustainable model of beach community growth that could expand the tourist season and fill in the calendar year.
