Mate - over here in Oz nobody cares if you're "that cooky guy" (or "sheila") as long as you're having a good time. Of course if you want to improve your skills it's important to develop the right technique. Just back from a few hours in the surf with the kids on our Boogie Boards here in Sydney. By far the best way to obtain such skills is to be born here! :-) Other than downing people who aren't displaying world class skills, this is a worthy video and your time is appreciated (there is some cred here even if you're not an Aussie...). ;-) Cheers and thanks - Dave and the crew
I care if you look like a kook ahhahahahaha it’s about having fun Ahahha and lookin like koooks ahahah I can’t complain ital give me somin to laugh at ahaha
Brilliant Rob ! Just found this whilst searching for some tips x about to get wet in my home spot Cornwall and into bodyboarding ...this is brill will check out the guys you mentioned and check out the coaching options 👍❤️ 🌊 Emma B
Hi Petar, I'm not sure if you have seen this (link at end) or the other 30 or so videos on my channel 'Bodyboard School' but you should tune in as we have covered pretty much every move with lots of 'visual examples'. I hope that helps. Rob th-cam.com/video/TZLRSMcED0Y/w-d-xo.html
What are some good stretches to do ? I pulled my intercostal muscle on my right side, etc. And I would not want to repeat that injury it as it takes forever to heal and the surf here is teasing me.
Hey Stevo, thanks for the comment. I can highly recommend yoga. It really helps improve your flexibility, reduces the risk of injury and will extend your bodyboarding career. Mike Stewart is a testimony to this. I could also recommend reading this blog post that we put together to help to prepare your body for bodyboarding; bodyboard-holidays.com/bodyboard-fitness-training/ good luck, let me know how you get on! Thanks Rob
Hi Leo, yes it is. If you keep your back arched and your chest forwards you will maintain speed along the wave which is the key to all of the moves. Enjoy!
Yes 100% - if you're a big guy it just means you need a big board to offer you flotation and bouyancy. There are a lot out there. Check out the Science Thunder, it's a great big guys board.
There are a stack of great bodyboarding brands in the world. Please take a look at the selection on bodyboard-depot.com/ or www.ebodyboarding.com/ these guys stock the best brands and are super helpful if you want specific info about the best size, materials and shape for your riding style.
Mike Stewart was definitely the leader in style, and riding a wave functionality. My favorite riders Were Mike, Ben. Now Player, Hardy, Dave Hubbard, Winchester. Unlike Pierre, and Jeff Hubbard, they ride what's in frint of them, as opposed to speeding down the line for 1 giant menuover
'that cooky guy', 'just looks ridiculous', 'don't be a cook'. Ok so basically try to look cool with good technique? If you were trying to pass the shallow comments on coolness off as funny, they didn't come across that way. There was 15 seconds of what a good technique was by the way. The video is over 3 mins. Come on man. You can do better than that surely.
I ride waves I think pretty decently. And I grab the front of the board with both hands. Hardly ever the rail. Wonder if that would help.. But my elbow may be off the board.
Hey Elliot, thanks for the comment. By holding your outside rail with your hand that is closest to the beach you will increase the control that you have. It will help you to keep the inside rail engaged in the waves face. Particularly when the waves are steep. Good luck, enjoy! Rob
Take a look at the video cover, it's a pic of me bodyboarding. I'm showing the traditional, text book style. Then in the video I show how not to do it. I hope that helps!
agreed I can't stand the whole you're a kook if you don't look cool attitude. Who gives a flying fuck??? I'm in the sea because I'm having the best time with her and me, anyone else looking on thinking anything is so far from what I'm caring about at that point. It's how it feels not how it looks!! Jesus the vanity of surfing is VILE
Sorry did not realise to be a Bodie boarder you had to be of a certain age.... anyone want to buy a secondhand board or do a straight swap for pipe and slippers!
Going to the beach all next week, can't wait to try this 🔥
Get out there and enjoy it!
@@BodyboardSchool lol I had fun

Second this 🤟 so long as you're going hard and having a crack no one should care
Thank you for saying this. Very weird tone in this video
thank u dude! these are so helpful!
Happy to help buddy. Let me know if you'd like to learn anything else. Thanks Rob
Last one got me dying
ha ha it was my fave as well!
Polo G 😕 Rip
Thanks a lot , very helpful video
I think two hands at the top is acceptable.. works best for me on big waves
Probably in whitewater
You'll benefit from a bit more control by holding the outside rail. But the main reason to boog is to have fun! So which ever works for you : ) Rob

Bodyboarding for a long time to come.

Damn great video guys, thanks!
Quite helpful. Thank you.
Thanks, I'm glad that it helped.
great to show what not to do but would be better if you had visual examples of what to do

All hail the low rider, so hilarious
Nathan Lockwood 😂 got to love the ‘Low-Pro!’ - hope that you’re well mate.
All good thanks mate! Just getting amped to go to the Canaries for Frontonking, might have to low ride there teach the locals a style lesson hahaha
1:04 is it necessary to keep your chest far from the board?
Hi Leo, yes it is. If you keep your back arched and your chest forwards you will maintain speed along the wave which is the key to all of the moves. Enjoy!
@@infonac392 thanks!
It’s a start, let’s see some advanced style tips pls
Check out our other videos!! There are stacks on our page
Can big guys bodyboard too ? How’s the learning curve if you’re a bigger guy
Yes 100% - if you're a big guy it just means you need a big board to offer you flotation and bouyancy. There are a lot out there. Check out the Science Thunder, it's a great big guys board.
What is a good bodyboard brand?

Science
Science, Triad, Hubb, and Custom X all offer great boards and items, those are only a few of the big name brands, I prefer Ally’s for fins
Last one was funny as hell
Glad that you liked it Shaun. It's a fun look at some funky styles : )

I know this is a old video but some guy told me to do the nose grip, was I sabotaged?😂
If you're not doing the 'Claw Grip' try it. It will revolutionise your bodyboarding! ✌
How can i get into big waves?
Thanks Jaime, I will consider this for a future video!
Very carefully
Hey how I get into big waves is when you start dropping into the barrel you pull as hard as you can on your rail and you have to focus.
'that cooky guy', 'just looks ridiculous', 'don't be a cook'. Ok so basically try to look cool with good technique? If you were trying to pass the shallow comments on coolness off as funny, they didn't come across that way.
There was 15 seconds of what a good technique was by the way. The video is over 3 mins. Come on man. You can do better than that surely.

Ahahahahahah I’m weak I just got down the arched back thing what a difference holy shit now I spin ans feel way more in control
Thats great to hear!!
the start lol
Lol !!!! Your a funny guy love it
Thanks Shedan, glad that you enjoyed it! Please let me know if you'd like to see anything else!
Sometimes I’m a low rider. Especially if I’m tired
bro sube el pecho y mete el bottom te ayudara a tomar mas la linea de la ola y no ir agachado en la ola
Muchas gracias buenos consejos
It would be nice to see you pose with the board so I can see what NOT do to and then pose to show what do to. Cuz you just lost me!

Who cares about how you ‘look’. Lots of kookie guys rip up waves in all kinds of ways.
