Hey guys 👋 thanks for checking out Origins, let me know here what sport we should learn more about next?

Body-boarding is so underrated. No matter the conditions, whether it’s sloppy or perfect, you can body-surf. It’s so much fun too, you can barrel through waves that surfers couldn’t even try to barrel through. I love surfing but I love body-boarding just as much.

What other sports origins do you want us to look over? Let us know below ✌️

Thanks to Red Bull we now know the history of surfing and current status of body boarding . Oh and well presented

[HUGOPINHEIROBODYBOARD]

So nice to be part of this... Thanks you all 🙌🏻✌🏻

I grew up body boarding in Hawaii because my mom wouldn't let me surf. I now just moved to Puerto Rico from Austin and am going to turn 50 - born in '71, same year as the 'boogie board.' :) Walked to the beach here at San Juan yesterday- new years and there was almost no one in the line up. Can't wait. Thanks for the post and a little history. *A.

Super proud of you and everyone you worked with Andy! This is such a solid first episode, I can't wait to see more! Editing, cinematography, sound design and most importantly the actual story, thoughts and info you shared was all on point.

NICE.

[AlexPettitt]

Yes Andy, absolutely love this! The shots, the story telling, the legends in this... It's all kind of awesome. More of this please Red Bull & Andy!

Took up the sport in 1998 at age 38. Still ❤️ it madly. Best fun ever 👌😎

Support the sport of bodyboarding! Aloha from the birth place of surfing and bodyboarding! So stoked to see so many other cultures adapting and continuing to perfect the sport. Let's go!

[richardsaville]

Great film, a refreshing take on an extreme sport - yes, more please Red Bull and the team!

Bodyboarding is a special thing to do in the world

[shoesters]

I used to surf and having two kids threw me outta surf shape. Bodyboarding has allowed me to get back in and actually charge more waves and complexity than I ever thought possible.

[NowhereMenTV]

Wow, this is so good. I remember body boarding as what I did on the New Jersey Shore as a kid. So cool to see the history of this sport and how extreme it actually is. Will there be more of these @redbull?

[coerochford]

so sick, I have waited and waited for red bull to do something on bodyboarding, so stoked about this.

[MatthewVandeputte]

This is such a well made doco. Loved every bit of it!!

[joseluisarbildocastro]

You have to investigate Peru’s culture, 10, 000 B.C “Mochicas” made totora boards, they fish and ride waves many years before Tahitians or Hawaiians

Anyway, keep the bodyboarding content coming!!

[gabrielperez]

I love bodyboarding and it’s rlly fun and I’m 9 haven’t rlly done bodyboarding this year back last year when I was 8 it was the best thing ever

[alhassant]

Great stuff. I have bodyboarded in both Cali and Hawaii and have only ever heard negative comments from surfers in California. Like the guy said, as long as you're having fun and respect the ocean and others, in Hawaii it's all aloha
