@@raeree028 No worries Raelene! Glad I gave you new snake bite prevention protocol! Verbalise your hierarchy in the food chain. Yes, was a bit wet and wild was in Port Stephens. This video was filmed shortly after those crazy winds when Victoria got rocked with 100km winds. The weather was perfect for like a week.

@@raeree028 Thanks Raelene! Bob Dylan vs Storm lol! There must be some kinda way outta here!

@@gsedd1001 thanks for the support mate 💯❤️

@@gravedigga314 cheers Diggy! My guitar is improving daily, but the harmonica is hard to get alot of practise , cos its hard on the lips. Was lucky there were some big rocks nearby, and I always forget the bloody coffee cup! Cheers for the support mate!

@@Garlicky-831 Hey Garlick! Just another day in Ol Brittania mate! Just had a pair of thermal pants and a 2nd pair of socks. So next time will bring a full change of clothes ;)

My father bought me a pair of sealskin socks, which I’ve owned for eight years now brilliant in wet weather🫡🧄🧦

@@Garlicky-831 never heard of them, so googled it. My concern would be condensation from sweat, but apparantly they are breathable! I work on a roof, might try them to see if the also non slip! Lol

@@BasicStealthcamping cheers sam! Yep will start busking at central to fund my next overseas trip lols! Yeh new 4m tarp works a charm, congrats on your korean ride mate! Hope you smashed a few bbqs after!

@rangatrips thanks mate! last few days here in Seoul so enjoying the time while it's here. yeah man you can compete against that Gordo drummer guy, get his audience!

@@Justgocamping cheers Jamie! Lol i did'nt read it properly and I thought you meant to pour the boiling water into the sleeping bag! Looool. Yes, thats a good trick to remember. I should carry proper water bottles. I was hoping to make a fire, but the weather came in quick!

@@outofbounds2022 cheers , looool. Yes I keep forgetting a cup. Usually I drink it out the pot, but the stove container thingy made a great espresso shot glass. Last time I gave up because my van was parked closeby, so this time made sure it was parked far away, making it hard to give up!

@rangatrips I know the temptation of having the car close by. I like to exclude excapes aswell. What type of tarp do you have?

@@outofbounds2022 it's a 4m square tarp, bulky but it has lots of tie off points, especially along the centre seam, which makes it easier to set up. My old ones the yellow and the camo one had no tie off points.

@@rangatrips damn, I don't like bulky... I thought it looked light.

@@outofbounds2022 its light, but bulky if that makes sense. For one night in a storm its great, but wouldnt carry it on an expedition or something. Thats a job for a bivvy bag.

@@outofbounds2022 dont worry mate! It was an empty cinema :) I'm going to be premiering each friday hopefully catch you next one!

@@Garlicky-831 awesome dude! Snap, I also have the 10. FyI i have lost about 10 gopros in the surf over the years. Make sure its leashed and clean the seals after every use in the surf... otherwise it leaks.

​@@rangatrips noooooo not gopro! Lol DJI all the way!

@@outofbounds2022 I hear you. But for surfing and thing getting wet go pro has the subscription which means they replace no questions asked if it drowns or you break it. I have claimed at least 4 new ones from it ;) also dji magnetic snap mounts dont hold in the water.

Free advice is good advice. Thanks RT 🫡 that lamb stew look banging 👌

@rangatrips if ypu manage to lose a gopro with its mounts then the dji clips don't stand a chance.

@@TheDMGinfo lay the smack down on ya roody poo candy.... hang on what?

@@Justgocamping cheers Jamie! 600 more to go lol! I always loved music, but never put in the effort to improve. So I'm just practicing alot and its good to stay offline. Just hike somewhere and smash that guitar! Harmonica is pretty fun too, and its really small to carry. Cheers for the support mate! Enjoy your holiday!

@@Garlicky-831 cheers Garlick, this was a flawless session. Can't wait for it to fire up again!

@@Garlicky-831 Cheers Garlick! Yes it's an awesome spot, unfortunately it was too small to ride on the day. Hope your bodysurfing going well! Hiking that boogie board around makes me appreciate the minimal gear needed for bodysurf!

@@FatpackingSmitty Hey Smitty! TH-cam rock 'n roll superstar! Loool, that would make a funny video idea. Cheers for your support mate, hope you well!

@@raeree028 Thanks Raelene! Glad you enjoyed! My guitar playing has improved alot since this video was filmed, can't wait to try it again. I have some videos in the bank and going to try release every 2 weeks. Thanks for the support ❤️

@@Garlicky-831 Hey Garlick! Great stuff mate! It's a good purchase, but if you want to ride beachbreaks that break in different directions , it would be best to ride without the handplane. What I don't like about the handplanes is having to switch hands for going left or right. You can do it double handed, but best done onehanded.

@@rangatripsthanks dude I will say that I feel safer with the plane and winter is coming in the Uk and like you said if you lose a fin you are in a lot of trouble….. but I do appreciate advice rangtrips 👋🧄🫡

@@rangatripsthank you brother 👋🧄🫡

@@Garlicky-831 no worries mate!

@@zuzucoyote Cheers Coyote! Thanks for the sub mate! Hopefully will be making more videos soon, but for now too much working!

@@Justgocamping cheers Jamie! Mixing it up a bit. Want to do a camp, but its been -3c where I am now! Luckily at the coast the mornings are mayne 6c, see you next time mate!

@@rangatrips complete opposite here. Hotter than Dutch love here in the southeast. Hoping to get out this weekend, though. Only supposed to be 87f. WHOO hoo. Cold front coming in🫠

@@Justgocamping Just Go Camping! Go for it mate, yeh when I was in Texas was mid 90's f, Crazy heat. I prefer freezing cold to extreme heat though!

Sorry Raelene, the real world caught up to me, but hopefully will be back on track with posting more often! Thank you for watching!

Cheers Matty! All the best 🤙

@@gouddrofwarc1982 cheers Doug! Thanks for watching

@@papafoster16 Thank you for your kind words mate! Yeh its quite hard to get all the different shots, took quite a few beatings! Cheers mr Foster!

@@peacecraft3449 awesome stuff mate! Waves were pumping here on east coast Oz today. Its good to have longboard and your fins with you every surf. You're guaranteed to get some kind of stoke

@@bodysurfcollective thanks for the compliment mate! It's an awesome way to experience the waves thats for sure!

@@andersoncafe7058 cheers mate! Artist : Par Hagstrom - " O , it feels so good "

@@Seeking_Gnosis Crikey Moses! Mary and Joseph!

@@patrick4625 hey Patrick! Its awesome, can goto indonesia with just carry on luggage. Makes things so much easier on buses and ferries etc, cheers for watching!

that's one way to ruin a coffee! but i used to work wth a guy that would have a cappucino with 5 sugars! hopefully he's still going strong!

g'day mate! There you go! awesome! We are so blessed in Australia to have such easy access to proper nature. Currently in Dallas USA and can't wait to get back out camping (Here it's pretty hard to get out into proper bush, and no infrastructure to catch a bus out there etc. Glad you enjoyed cheers mate!

Loool "ONCE!", I wonder why that did'nt take off? Cheers brother, currently in the lone star state!

Sweet. Stateside! Safe travels.

@@Justgocamping thanks mate! Pretty safe in Tyler, but Dallas was Sketchy!

Awesome mate, just grab a pair of fins and you're set. Winter is the best time to surf... but maybe not down in Vicco!

@rangatrips yeah not here mate. Bass straight has rather chilly waters at the best of times.

@outofbounds2022 Victoriaaaa, the place to be mate! Also gets quite windy down there so that adds to the deep freeze!

Hey no worries Fred! Respect defintely given where it is due, you live in the land of the lucky! Duke is for sure the goat! Keep well brother.

Cheers Erik! Thanks for the positive vibes!

I agree 100% with the wipeouts, but I'm still trying to figure out what is the most physically demanding. I used to only handle 2 - 2.5 hrs of bodyboarding before I cramped out. Now bodysurfing I can do 4 - 4.5 hrs before cramps set in. Standup Surfing my arms get pumped quickly, but I hardly ever surf. During bodysurf session, I'm definitely using minimal effort during downtime between waves, and just focus on short burst paddling as hard as possible to get speed into the wave. You definitely don't use alot of energy paddling out, but if there is a strong current that drains you to try and stay in position. So probably depends on the conditions really.

@@rangatrips I live in South West of France, we have strong currents and beach breaks and on big days it is definitely dangerous without a board to rely on. I never get cramps and I workout three times a week so it's not about muscular fatigue, more about cardio and stress management. I can stay 3/4h too on a regular day but when it's big (over 3/4m) I get out as soon as I get a big scare. I mean getting ragdolled for 10 seconds under water and having trouble to find the surface (harder without a board). On some spots around here you really have to swim hard just to stay at the same place because of current.

@@s.z.9517 awesome part of the world mate, I was there about 20 years ago at Hossegor // Seignosse. My favourite spot in Australia is kind of similar, it has 3 - 4 peaks with strong current. But I just start at one end , and once I get ripped to the other end, I just walk up the beach and start again. Anyway stay strong bro and keep riding free!

@@rangatrips Yes I have my own ticks as well, using the channels between peaks to reach the lineup with favorable currents. But we also have dangerous currents called "baïnes" and when you're stuck in them, it's hard to stay calm ! Sometimes it even sucks you down to the bottom ! Anyways, I'll never go back to bodyboarding, I've become quite good at bodysurfing and the feeling is unmatched. Also on big days, surfers tend to show you respect for your engagement and this can help with localism, very strong (in Hossegor for example).

@@s.z.9517 the feeling is definitely much better, feels like you are flying even paddling through the waves its like a flying. Also less stress, because the other surfers don't know what "category" to put you in!

Cheers Fin, glad you enjoyed my video! Go huge mate!

Sorry to hear about your troubles mate, life does throw alot of crap at us, but its unavoidable. Its hard to keep pushing and the ocean is a great distraction by allowing you to get away from "normal reality" and experience things that really matter. Eventually things on land will correct themselves over time and in their own time. A good way to get confidence to bodysurf is to enter local ocean swim events. They have 1km // 2.5 km options. You can then test your abilitities whilst being surrounded by lifeguards for small entry fee. All the best mate, you'll be allright!

Thanks mate! Appreciate the support!

@@rangatrips the sheriff of nothing-man

Hey dude, I knew there was going to be a storm. So I wanted to just test my skill on the beach. I had my van with bed parked nearby incase of emergency evacuation! So it was a controlled experiment, thanks for watching!

@@rangatrips Thanks fer reply i was just concerned for you my friend glad to hear it was a controlled episode anyway god protect you .

@@mihailo-dl3jn thanks for your concern Mihailo! I have camped through alot of crazy weather, what I learned is to take a bivvy bag to make sure you have protection if your tarp blows away!

Sounds like a good tune mate!

Cheers mate! Yep I'm also a big fan of the bivvy bag , from my thru hiking background. After a long day of hiking I can't be bothered setting up a tarp. Climbing, obviously they are restricted by whatever the cliff provides, so bivvy bag wins almost every time. Climbers must have a good laugh at all the survivalist youtubers, cos climbers understand what you really need to get the job done. I was going to camp at the base of the cliff, but chose this spot purely for the sweeping view and had no idea that a storm was coming through. I'm sure I'll be havin some tuna can coffee again soon enough! Cheers mate!
