    Super interesting Ian, not easy to explain how to read a waves because everything is going so fast in the water, but with these different exemple it was great!

    This is brilliant well done mate! Real practical video for everyone to study. Often riders are only as good as the waves they ride, so it's worth the effort to hit up the best break for bodyboarding in their area.

    Been in the water all my life, I think growing up at beachbreaks has been a blessing in disguise because even at reef bottoms I can find the little corners or seek out patterns based on the conditions that the locals who only go to this reef may not spot as quickly. I use my knowledge and patience a lot when its crowded and it always feels rewarding when I'm in the spot alone or just have a better priority than those around me. Keep teaching and as said, reading waves comes with time, study your breaks even if you dont paddle out as much as you can and your sessions will benefit!

    Great explanation! I saw the video on this weekend and was able to put it to practice today and it was mind blowing. I was more focused when riding, instead of waiting for the wave to do something.

    The amount of times I'm in a "mates comp" with my mates and I am dead set on bettering a trick one of my mates just did, only to drop in and completely change my mind within about .2 seconds flat and stuck that trick anyway! So like you said, it's experience and the only way you get experience is to get out as much as you can and smash some waves!(:

    Can you please do some video like "best warm ups before bodyboarding" or "the warm ups I do before bodyboarding" just something like that because I don't know what I should do before bodyboarding and probably some people here don't know as well. Great video btw

    • @iaincampbell_
      @iaincampbell_  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      For sure I can do that. I don’t usually warm up as most of the spots I surf have long walks to get to the waves. But I will make a plan.

    Hey Ian i don’t know if you’ve gone over this topic but can you talk about how to paddle for a wave , I always see different spongers paddling in different ways which makes me confuse whether there’s a certain technique that works better over the other, I just started sponging like 3 months ago and getting a bit more better but still need to improve my technique and style, paddling for the wave seems to be what I’m struggling with rn , thanks bro
