Bodyboarding Small Waves

Sometimes when bodyboarding, the waves aren't always as big as we'd like them to be, but we still need our fix and get out there amongst the small waves anyway. This can sometimes be a challenge, as it's not as easy to get your board going, which in turn can be frustrating. Bodyboard Holidays' boss, Rob Barber, shares his top tips when taking on smaller waves and how to get the most out of your session.

Great tip on getting bigger board on smaller waves. Didn’t think of that. All I have are 42.5 boards but combination of bay tail and crescent tails

people how to surf !

Hi!
Great video!
Yo uso un 42 con olas grandes y medianas, PP crecent tail.
Y un 42 también con bat tail también PP, y más grueso q el crecent.
La diferencia es notable, aún siendo ambos 42 !!!
Más por el espesor que por el tail .
También es más fácil el más grueso para filtrar cuando hay mucha white water y mar roto .
Y cuando las condiciones son irregulares uso un 42, 5 PE.
Mi peso es de 95 kilos.
Prefiero estar al límite con la flotabilidad, pero gano con la maniobrilidad .
Cheers from Buenos Aires Argentina 🤙

Thanks for the tips.
Question: how do I body bord all day without getting muscle cramps?

[danielbarbosa]

U use 42, 5 bodyboard....whats your height and weight?

[infonac]

Interesting! More volume equals more bouyancy. This means more speed! Genius.

Im 6ft and ride a 42, would a 44 suit? Great vida as usual 🤙

[paulgardner]

Do fins help catching a wave or just help getting you out the back?

[danielarista]

Hey Rob, do you mind me asking your height and weight?

[mikemckenzie]

I have a 48 inch board. Is that too big for a 6ft 4 in guy?

[danielbarbosa]

Im 6 ft and 0, 44 inches . I ride 42 bb. U think is it right?

[chibiseppy]

Best advice I could give you would be to buy a surfboard
