Ivanka Trump Spotted Surfing, Sparking Discussion – Photos

Ivanka Trump flaunted her physique and athletic ability while vacationing in Central America. Her photos quickly drew attention, with many people expressing surprise at seeing her body.

This week, fans received a surprise when images of Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, surfing were shared on social media. Netizens quickly took to the platforms to share their reactions to the snapshots.

According to reports, Ivanka traveled to Costa Rica for a getaway, where she was photographed surfing in a black and white swimsuit. The pictures captured her confidently riding the waves and showcasing her surfing skills and toned body.

Responding to the photos, one stunned observer asked, “Where did she get that body???!!!! Ok imma [sic] be good.” Another admirer commented, “Wow, she looks great and she can actually surf!” Someone else pointed out her attire, stating, “Pretty modest suit compared to most I’ve seen lately.”

Sharing similar sentiments, one viewer remarked, “Its [sic] very refreshing to see a gorgeous woman not showing every inch of skin possible on the beach.” Another person found the images “Awesome!! 🤩 🏄🏼‍♀️.”

Someone else wrote, “She is truly one of most beautiful woman. I seen her in a swimsuit in Beverly Hills hotel few years back. [sic] She is perfect 👍.” Compliments continued as another person simply added, “She is gorgeous.”

At the time the photos were taken, Ivanka was enjoying some fun and quality time at the beach with her children. The publication that released the images also captured video footage of the outing.

The footage revealed that Donald’s daughter not only surfed, but also spent time on the sand with her children and splashed in the waters of Santa Teresa. Although her husband, Jared Kushner, wasn’t seen in the clip filmed on April 15, 2025, witnesses reported his presence at the beach.

During an appearance on the Lex Fridman Podcast on July 2, 2024, Ivanka opened up about her experience of being on a surfboard in the ocean. She shared, “It feels really beautiful, you know, with no noise, no chatter, no distractions. Just being in the moment.”

The businesswoman expressed awe at the experience of surfing, saying, “You just have to sort of be in it,” because you can’t fight the ocean. Ivanka also explained that one of the things she loves about surfing, similar to other water sports, is that “you’re like manipulating the environment, you know?”

She continued, “And there’s something that can be a little like violent about it, like you look at windsurfing. Whereas with surfing, you’re like in harmony with it. So you’re not fighting it, you’re flowing with it. And you still have like the agency of choosing which waves you’re gonna surf, and you sit there and you read the ocean, and you learn to understand it, but you can’t control it.”

When asked what it felt like to fall flat while learning the sport, Ivanka revealed that she had only started surfing a couple of years ago and admitted she wasn’t very skilled yet. However, she enjoys everything about the experience.

The real estate developer said she loves the physical nature of the sport and the feeling of being in the ocean. She noted that the most difficult part of surfing is paddling out and getting caught in the “impact line,” where “four or five, six waves crash on top of your head” with nowhere to go.

The politician explained that trying to fight against it is futile, but when there’s a break in the waves, she paddles intensely to get out of the line or back to the beach. As for her athletic look, Ivanka also attributed it to training in jiu-jitsu.

Fridman complimented her, pointing out how well she knows how to use her body in the sport. The former Senior Advisor to the President of the US shared how she became involved in it. When her daughter was 11, she approached Ivanka saying she wanted to learn self-defense and how to protect herself.

The mother of three said she felt proud because, at that age, self-defense hadn’t even crossed her own mind. After asking around, someone recommended the Valente Brothers’ Studio.

Ivanka began taking Arabella to the studio and eventually joined her after being encouraged by her daughter. Her younger children, Joseph and Theodore, observed them and joined as well, which led Kushner to participate too.

Donald’s daughter said she finds it empowering to know she has the basic ability to protect herself. She explained that it provides her with a “sense of confidence” and a calm feeling of “knowing how to de-escalate rather than escalate a situation.”

The politician also said jiu-jitsu has helped her develop a heightened awareness in public spaces, unlike others who are often distracted by their phones in elevators or on the street. In March 2025, Ivanka was seen in action at the studio with one of the Valente brothers.

The caption of the post gave followers insight into the sport’s value, reading in part, “Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art. Rooted in ancient tradition and refined over generations, it offers a path to physical confidence, mental clarity, and emotional balance.”

Ivanka’s dedication to both surfing and jiu-jitsu reveals a commitment to strength, mindfulness, and growth. Her beach days and training sessions reflect a lifestyle grounded in purpose and balance.

While netizens praised and reacted in awe to Ivanka’s images, they had a different reaction when they saw those of her father. As previously reported, during a recent appearance, Donald’s hands were in full view, prompting some observers to notice that an old bruise had reappeared. A doctor has shared possible explanations.

On April 14, 2025, the US president’s hands were in full view during a meeting with President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador. At that moment, a familiar bruise on his hand became visible, raising concerns and prompting debate among netizens, which led a doctor to offer an explanation.

The US president’s meeting took place in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, D.C. There, a photograph captured his hands clasped together, clearly showing the bruise. The following day, the mark was still visible as Donald attended the presentation ceremony for the Commander-in-Chief Trophy, which is awarded to the Navy Midshipmen football team.

At the event, held in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., Donald looked happy as he posed for photos with important individuals. He appeared alongside attendees like Navy Midshipmen head coach Brian Newberry and co-captains linebacker Colin Ramos and fullback Daba Fofana.

The trophy is presented to the winner of the American college football series. The competition is between teams from the US Military Academy (Army Black Knights), the US Naval Academy (Navy Midshipmen), and the US Air Force Academy (Air Force Falcons).

The mysterious bruise on Donald’s right hand was visible as the 78-year-old presented the trophy to the Navy Midshipmen. Dr. Ola Otulana, a general practitioner (GP) and physician at Cassiobury Court rehabilitation centre in Watford, England, has since offered some insights into the condition.

Describing the mark, Dr. Otulana said it appeared “consistent with a superficial contusion,” explaining that, in “simple terms,” it likely resulted from “minor trauma.” The GP noted this type of bruise can occur from bumping the hand against a hard surface.

Alternatively, he explained that repeated pressure could cause such bruising, like “leaning on a cane or gripping something firmly – or even medical procedures such as venepuncture, or blood draw.” The doctor also pointed out that bruising is “more prominent” in older adults due to “thinning skin” and “more fragile blood vessels.”

The physician added that medications like blood thinners, aspirin, or anti-inflammatories could worsen bruising. These medications are known to “make bruises appear more easily and linger longer – which could be the case here.”

However, Dr. Otulana emphasized that Trump’s apparent bruising “doesn’t raise any immediate red flags.” He added that if the bruise were to persist, spread, or be accompanied by other symptoms, then “further assessment would be sensible.”

Reacting to images of the president’s bruised hand, one individual speculated, “He’s on aspirin for a blood thinner, just an after effect [sic] of a blood draw.” Another echoed the idea, “He’s probably on so many blood thinners that this is inevitable. I have a family member of this age bracket and the wind blowing too hard bruises them. [sic] It is really late in the day for this guy.”

Someone else remarked, “That bruise looks like his skin is dead in that spot.” Another person guessed, “Its an IV bruise that has makeup applied to it. [sic] That’s why it looks weird,” while someone who claimed a similar experience observed, “The bruise looks to be topped with some sort of concealer or make up [sic] to hide the bruise.”

Another netizen shared, “These two spots don’t look like the rest of his skin, and do look like needle sticks. I have heart disease, my mom has heart disease, my sister has heart disease, that’s to say I’ve been around * a LOT* of needle sticks. And my experience is [that] the hand is a last resort, and not someplace a nice healthy person with good veins gets stuck. [sic]”

One other person simply observed, “He’s not healthy….,” while another added, “Thin blood and thin skin.”

The last time Donald drew attention for the bruise was on February 24, 2025, when it was covered with makeup. At that time, the US president was hosting French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House for official meetings.

In response to questions about the bruise, the White House issued a brief explanation. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, “President Trump is a man of the people. His commitment is unwavering, and he proves that every single day.”

In a follow-up statement, she explained, “President Trump has bruises on his hand because he’s constantly working and shaking hands all day every day.”

In December 2024, TIME reported that the president appeared older compared to when they had last met him seven months earlier. According to the publication, Donald appeared more subdued as he discussed the bruising on his hand. He reaffirmed Leavitt’s claim: “It’s from shaking hands with thousands of people.”

On April 11, 2025, he completed his annual physical examination, and two days later, the White House released the results on its website, squashing any concerns.

The president’s physician confirmed he oversaw the exam, which included consultations with “fourteen specialty consultants.” The results showed that “The President remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function.”

The report’s summary concluded, “His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being. President Trump’s days include participation in multiple meetings, public appearances, press availability, and frequent victories in golf events…”

Speaking about his annual exam, as previously reported, Donald’s assessment was carried out at a hospital near Washington, DC, marking the first official checkup during his second presidential term.

According to the report released by the White House, Donald has been declared in excellent physical and cognitive health following his annual physical examination. However, fans are skeptical, with many questioning the accuracy of his reported weight and overall fitness.

Donald underwent a medical evaluation at the Walter Reed hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, and was found to be in strong overall condition. His doctor noted that his cardiac, neurological, pulmonary, and general physical functions were all performing well.

The examination also included a comprehensive neurological evaluation. The president reportedly showed no signs of depression or anxiety and achieved a perfect score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a widely used screening tool for detecting early cognitive decline.

According to the physician, Donald sustained a scar on his right ear as a result of a gunshot wound during the assassination attempt in July of the previous year. Aside from this scar, his head, ears, nose, and throat have no abnormalities. Donald’s hearing was also found to be normal.

The medical report detailed several ongoing conditions, including well-managed high cholesterol, rosacea, and a past Covid-19 infection. A benign colon polyp was also noted. Donald’s current medication regimen includes cholesterol-lowering drugs, low-dose aspirin for heart health, and a topical treatment for a skin condition.

Weighing in at 224 pounds and standing 6 feet 2.5 inches tall, the president was noted to have joints and muscles with a full range of motion, according to the report.

While Donald has long been known for his preference for fast food and a non-traditional approach to fitness, the memo attributed part of his good health to regular participation in golf, adding that he has “frequent victories in golf events.”

The physician concluded that the president remains in top shape, with no abnormalities detected in his heart, and is capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of his role.

The health report sparked a wave of reactions online, with fans weighing in with skepticism and personal comparisons. One person raised concerns about the math not adding up, “Somethings wrong – his height over estimated or his weight underestimated. He looks like a BMI of 32 or above, the measurements make him 28. Publish the truth or don’t bother. [sic]”

Someone tried to make sense of the results, noting, “How can he be 6’3″ and 224? He weighs more than 224.” Another commenter agreed, “Absolutely no way 😂 I’m 5’11 and at my heaviest I was 225 still nowhere near Trump’s size.”

Someone with similar opinions wrote, “Good, but c’mon, no way he’s 224 lbs.” Another person was straightforward, saying, “That man is not 224 lbs.” One individual couldn’t help but be stunned by the report, “78 years old, fast food diet, zero exercise… and still perfectly healthy.”

Among the mix of comments, one person gave credit where it’s due, “Impressive results. Say what you will, but energy and mental acuity at that level is not easy to maintain. Staying sharp under pressure is a real skill.”

Another person with similar views penned, “Say what you will about Trump, but a clean bill of health at that level of pressure? That’s no small thing. Leading a nation takes stamina physical and mental.”

Before Donald Trump was given a clean bill of health, concerns about his well-being were widely discussed. Experts pointed out that someone of his age, especially while serving in such a high-pressure role, could be vulnerable to various health issues.

In an interview, Dr. Daniel Atkinson from Treated.com noted that individuals nearing 80 could face challenges like fluctuating weight and an increased risk of conditions such as diabetes.

He explained that managing blood sugar becomes more difficult with age and that insulin resistance is more likely to develop, especially under a demanding schedule like that of a president. With such comments, the public had urged Donald to undergo a physical examination during his campaign and in recent weeks.

On Friday, April 11, he took to Truth Social to share his enthusiasm about undergoing the much-anticipated medical test. He was full of confidence, writing, “I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!”

Following the exam, Donald addressed reporters aboard Air Force One, stating, “I think I did well.” He assured the public that the results would be released on Sunday, a promise that was fulfilled.

He praised the medical team, describing them as highly respected professionals, and commending the facility where the exam was conducted.

When asked if any lifestyle changes had been recommended, Donald acknowledged there were a few suggestions but chose not to go into detail. He added that he has a good heart and a very good soul. He also took pride in acing his cognitive test, noting that he answered every question correctly.

Experts such as Dr. Mark Siegel have also weighed in on Donald’s physical examination results and praised several aspects of the report.

He highlighted the president’s blood pressure of 128 over 70 and improved cholesterol levels, noting that the cholesterol-lowering medications were clearly effective.

Dr. Siegel also commended Donald’s weight loss and improved Body Mass Index (BMI), describing the changes as significant. He pointed out Donald’s strong cognitive abilities, noting that his unscripted speaking style reflected his mental sharpness.

According to Dr. Siegel, Donald exhibits the energy of someone much younger and has a strong life span and an impressive health span. He called the results “inspiratory” and said the president is an example for younger people aiming to maintain long-term health.

Donald is receiving significant praise as his current results reflect notable improvement compared to previous examinations. During his earlier physicals, he weighed 244 pounds, placing him in the obese category with a Body Mass Index of 30.5. His latest figures show a drop in weight, bringing his BMI into the overweight, not obese, range.

Back in 2018, his total cholesterol measured 223, but over time, with the help of medications like rosuvastatin, that number steadily dropped, first to 196 in early 2019 and then to 167 in 2020, which falls well below the recommended threshold of 200.

Other indicators of his health have also seen progress. His blood pressure of 121 over 79 in 2020 fell into the elevated category but was still manageable. Additionally, his resting heart rate has remained consistently low at 62 beats per minute, a sign of good cardiovascular fitness.

These improvements have been attributed to medication and lifestyle changes, contributing to the positive tone surrounding his most recent exam.
