Iain is de You have no idea how much we appreciate this

[belindamydogsteppedonabee]

Thanks Ian. My 13yr old son has just got his 1st board. Of course as a mum I want him to stay safe and have fun. We r currently in Ghana and the waves r great. Your video is very helpful.

I learned the art at the Wedge in 1967. You guys have it so good with all the options and comfort.
I bought my 1st wet suit after my 1st Jet ski, 1984.

Thanks for your help, been in for the first time this week post operation recovery, totally different from surfing but enjoying the new learning process.

Stoked to have found a way back in the water.

If you're getting annoyed buy your leash
Well here's just a quick tip:
I bought a SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) leash that I modified for my bodyboard, I wanted the extra length because the board kept pulling in the paddle with the tiny leash I was using. I'm primarily a surfer, but my shoulders have taken a few injuries lately. So paddling with "just arms" can "bring the fire" when I'm surfing. It sucks! So when I can't surf (I hate sitting back and watching others in the water) I bodyboard because I can alternate between two front, two back or all four in the Sprint for the wave.
Anyhow....
The coiled SUP leash doesn't pull, and the swivel up on my bicep is long enough that it pushes the leash out of the way with each stroke, but doesn't affect the board at all. Honestly, it's the best thing I ever bought and modified. It tucks under my arm and back. So in the paddle, with the swivel on the right angle... it's like you're not wearing a leash at all.
Honestly, do it!

Dope video. I’m old af and tried boogieing for first time. Did only the small waves but I was able to stream down a couple. Much easier and safer to learn than surfing. Gonna try some of these tips for sure next time I hit the beach.

I had a board made by Jimmy Linville (J.L. Designs) out of Oceanside California. I asked him what's the best fins to buy. He said the ones that fit your feet the best. I have 3 pair of Yuccas they have the best drainage and fit me fairly well. I have Da Fin. feel great on my feet and work well however I had to cut additional holes because the drainage system isn't great for those shore breaks. I found myself taking off my fins to get the sand and rock out. I also have a pair of Tribe T2 and Tech 2.

I really want to either bodyboard or skimboard, what do you think I should do? I like the idea of standing and don’t like the use of peripherals like fins, but I also like the idea of a highly buoyant board that can handle big waves.

[deebs]

Iain you should make a video about how to beat the fear of big waves i think it would be great cause its a thing I struggled with when i started

[dimeivanj.]

Nice! Definitely applying some of those things. Keep up the good work brother! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 💪

[mrdilligaf]

Thanks for this video. I'm 55yo and just taken this up and learning. My first time out was so much fun ! The salt and sand certainly exfoliates the feet nicely. Can't wait till next time. Cheers

[dingus]

Great info bru - appreciate all your hard work in getting these clips together !

[Mrmedusiod]

Thank you! I have recently got a boogie board and this video helped so much❤️❤️

[TheFelix-YT]

So I got the Stealth board, Spawn, and i also got stealth S2 flippers. Are they good for this sort of thing? cuz idk whats good and whats not.

[skegatron]

Thanks Boogie. Just started last weekend. Very helpful!

[baboon]

Iain if your in hawaii right now or coming soon go to a spot called irma’s, or kaloko beach it’s a fun reef and it barrels 24/7 there

Hey Lain, I love bodyboarding but I have never felt comfortable going in deep enough water where I can't stand. I just feel like the current of each wave will bring me out farther which isn't really true lol but how do I get more comfortable with going out farther to catch more organized waves?

[CiCSkitzzee]

i went bodysurfing over the weekend.. and ate major sand.. went right over the top of a big wave and it smashed me onto the bottom.. im pretty sore... but this is why im here... im determined to figure this out!

[Ben-umgn]

Beginner surfer looking to get into bodyboarding. Is it hard to catch waves on a bodyboard due to smaller volume? I’ve only rode longboards

[apolopena]

Good stuuff Iaian! Maybe you could do a video on wave etiquette for beginners. Also some of us need fin teathers with cuffs that do not touch the skin to avoid cuts.
