Ivanka Trump surfs during family vacation in Costa Rica

Ivanka Trump was recently photographed surfing during a family vacation in Costa Rica. The 44-year-old was seen riding waves on a longboard alongside an instructor, appearing to enjoy the activity despite a brief wipeout where she lost her balance and fell into the ocean.

Trump has made Costa Rica a regular destination for family trips and has been practicing surfing in the country for several years. Local instructors, such as Jesús Zabala from Take Off Surf School, have previously noted her positive attitude and skill level. While her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three children were not present during this specific surfing session, she had previously shared photos of the broader family getaway on social media.

The images of her luxury vacation have sparked mixed reactions on social media. While many focused on her athletic activity, some critics have used the photos to launch backlash, labeling the trip as ‘tone-deaf’ in relation to economic struggles in the United States.
