I was a stand up surfer. I'm 56 and now have cartilage breakdown in my hip. I can't pop myself up to stand anymore. Haven't surfed in years and miss it. I gotta get back in the water. I'm still mobile. So went out and got suit, board, and fins. I'm a bodyboarder now. Thanks for the tips and age inspiration.
I started bodyboarding 6 months ago. Age 71. I feel alive every time I'm out there. Plus I swim three times a week and two mornings at the gym. I know I'm eventually going to die , but I want to die Healthy!!
Thanks for this :) I'm 46, and have just moved to be closer to the ocean to take up bodyboarding/surfing again, as a healthy pattern I would like to keep going as I get older (I'm a work from home on the computer guy so the forces keeping me in my seat are strong, and I need to break that). Loved hearing about what you guys are doing to keep fit, and I agree- moving everyday is likely to be the most important thing. Inspiring stuff!
Happy birthday Jay ‼️ This is awesome, both of you, thanks for sharing this valuable information 😊 Very valuable for all of us who strive to keep on doing what we live for. Personally, at almost 58, I exercise every morning before breakfast (after coffee) by doing a floor and stick mobility workout. This brings the body up to speed for the day ahead. I'd love to surf more often, but surfski , MTB, and another body weight workout also occupy my energy 😀 Whenever possible, i climb stairs instead of taking the elevator and walk my two beasts (dogs), at least 4 times a week, which on its own, is quite a workout! As for food, a great breakfast and lunch set me up for a light dinner of a lot of vegetables, and high quality protein. Last but not last, hydration!
Great tips. I became a morning person too (after many years of being a night owl) for exactly the same reasons - I discovered that I can sneak a surf/boogie in before work. My wife is still asleep, so it is untapped bonus time that comes at the minimal cost of dragging myself out of bed. I get to see the sunrise, get in some water time, and crowds are minimal if not non-existent. It sets my mood and motivation for the rest of the day because I’ve already had my “me time”. Well worth it!
Happy belated birthday, Jay🎉 Thanks to you and your lovely wife, Vicky, for the healthy advice. I am a skater and jumped into surfing a few years ago. Hoping to learn standup boogie boarding with coach, Brian, eventually. Have a blessed day!
45 year old sponger / train 3 /4 days a week switching in between upper and lower body, reps of 20 daily, 5 sets to 100 of each exercise / crunches / leg raises / pushups / pullups / hd band pulls / 30/40 pound dumbbell curls, weak arm does a few extra to failure / proper balanced diet and supplements. swimming olympic laps with fins on and breath work. 30 mile road bike rides flat out, fasting, meditation, decaf coffee, caffeine free = 3x overhead cloudbreak, 3x overhead mentawai slab hunting. i got chopes 3x overhead too. my dreams are mosts nightmares. being sober, drug free and cigarette free is ideal for my equilibrium balance and mindset. if i could look back and say the one thing that did it for me, i think training at maxed out blacks beach is what made me ready to conquer life and become a hard charging sponger. i love the wedge but its just not the same anymore not like the early 90s plus the grom pack is maxed out. hope i can still be traveling and charging into my late 50s too.
No sushi, no poke? OMG! I eat it more for the flavor than for the health benefit. It's so gooood! I grew up on processed food too. I let my wife guide me to the light. Though, I still like my cookies and a little bit of ice cream. I'm 65 and I was in your store last week. Josh helped put a kit together so I could get back in the water after 15 - 20 years. Nice video. Oh, and yes their is knee pain and back pain haunting me.
I (Jay) don't eat much seafood at all, and definitely not sushi/sashimi. Stoked to hear you're getting after it. Incorporate some stretching. It's helped me a lot!
Florida is a horror for outdoors from the end of May through October. Running and walking is best done 4-7 am. We also have the summer wave drought. A summer hideaway in Oregon might not be so bad.
I live between Hawaii & SoCal now and have been surfing forever, but looking into body boarding instead of investing in another foam deck (i.e. Beater Board)… At any rate, I recently ruptured my long head tendon in my right shoulder/bicep (PT has been going well), but does it matter which arm your leash plug/cuff is placed? Mahalo for the all the insight into your daily regimen 🤙🏽
You can put the leash on either arm...just personal preference. If you need advice on boards, just fill this out: www.ebodyboarding.com/pages/booger-picker

What time do you go to bed with the early starts ?
Usually out by 9 or 9:15pm.
Is 50 too late to start , been surfing all my adult life , but now arthritis in my hip I struggle to stand up so look at different ways to get in the water.
No such thing as "too late to start"! Check all our our "how to" vids on this TH-cam channel!
What kind of cooking oils do you use and which do you avoid?
I try and stick to Olive and Avocado. Jay loves his Canola! LOL!
