- As with all bodyboarding manoeuvres, speed is essential and key when pulling off moves. That is why it’s important knowing how to hold your board correctly to be able to maximise speed and projection across the face of a wave.
Bodyboard Holidays coach Matt ‘Mave’ Davies explains the theory behind what we call the ‘Claw Grip’ and how just the slightest of changes and knowledge can improve your bodyboarding in no time. 🚀

Solid advice from the legend himself
Thanks G!
Who is he?
Best explanation of the grip and the arm mechanics on TH-cam. Cheers 🍻
Thanks 👍 Glad you liked it!
I taught myself after being in san diego a year. Its crazy how well i got the fundamentals down without seeing these videos till now. I been catching some pretty big ones at pb. So much fun!
Glad to hear that you're having fun! 🙌
Why do surfers hate us though? Shouldn't it just be about catching waves and having fun?
Very true. I had to learn this on my own back in the day. Alot of little tips like this were secret in the 90s. Noone would discuss them. Sometimes stewart would give a tad of info but very discrete. I picked this up from watching mitch rawlins alot. Even tho lm older than him l learned the 'claw grip' from him. Made a huge diff moving fingers over to top corner of rail rather than whole hand on top corner of nose. Improved my riding alot. Cool that this info is available now. Have to say, this is 1 good thing about the internet. Thx

lol I unintentionally started doing that bc I was terrified of nose diving
😆
Is it bad I normally grab it from the sides instead of the front?
I feel like I have better control but I’m barely getting into it so Idk

Great advise. Cheers! Are they custom x fins? Are these your preferred DK fins?
Hey, yes Custom X fins. Great for DK and very comfortable.
@@matthewdavies5875 Good to know. Thanks for the reply.
Thanks!
This guy looks like Philip Sayce. Could be twins.

What core / stringer combo is in his board? Looks like a good flex through the nose
It's the Hubboards Dubb edition PP Plus. such a sick board!
Great tips Mave!
Thanks for reaching out ❤️
The elbow against the board is on the high side right? At the wave face?
Yes, your inside rail is the one nearest the wave.
Do u know anywhere I can buy a bodyboard for around 10-30$ in Anaheim?
Your best best is to speak to the guys at ebodyboading.com - they will help you pick a board for sure!

Never buy the boards that connect to your arm with that type of water if you get hit hard they will easily snap
