Very nice, thanks! Any tips on hot to avoid wipeouts? And how to perform a clean cut-out? Cheers

Do you often keep kicking whilst on the wave or you try to just slide as much as possible ?
I feel sometimes I do have to keep kicking, maybe to bad weight distribution or low angle of the "soft wave"

Any tips ?

Old style bodysurfing, or outrigger style, didn't use an arms forward planing hand at all. You keep the inboard arm back by your side, perhaps bending at the elbow to plane inside the wave, and the outboard arm can be back by your side or down on the face of the wave. You can make more speed using the outrigger, while a layback is a stall move that gets you higher on the face.

I'm trying to bodysurf but have trouble with the takeoff. Instead of traveling down the face of the wave, it picks me up sideways and slams me down forward like a piece of wood. I don't know how to start off. I can ride straight in for a second or so but have to roll out of it as it always slams me into the sand.

Any tips?

Kick faster and get to hydroplaning earlier or you will be swept up. Also maybe try to go at an angle

A handplane is not necessary. In fact, at my break they are not allowed and it's one of the best BS waves on the planet. Kale, you need to find a break that peels, not just dump.

look for the corner or shoulder of the wave, swim as fast as you can, and wear fins. also be patient, you don't have to catch every wave that comes your way. go for the ones that catch your eye and commit.
Matheus Castro
Matheus Castro - 7 years ago
are you using Fins? and how about a handplane? both of this accessories are a must , because they help a lot ... even though bodysurfing can be done without them

any tips on bailing out? I usually get barrelled but then I get sucked over the falls and slammed and its very difficult to shoulder out the back? I'm thinking my body is too much out of the water so I keep tumbling.. Still fun as hell. Tips would be appreciated.
Alphonse Faure

The question was about methods to bail out.
You claim that nobody else can answer the question then proceed to advise not to engage in the technique at all.

Do I need to point out that you were also unable to answer the question?
Alphonse Faure
Alphonse Faure - 7 years ago
EricJamaica so just ride it until your face grinds off on the rocks?

You're seriously advising people not to learn skills?

Push your planing hand down to the bottom and follow with your head. The wave will break over you and you swim out the back.

yep, you don';t need much to BS, not even sunshine. the water motion is the engine... non-polluting and will never run out of it.

When people ask me, "what's the deal with bodysurfing?" there are lots of videos online to show them. This is one of my favorites. I disagree with the comments about hand planes. Perfect curtain line by Mark Cunningham!

Hand planes are a crutch. You don't need them and you're better off without them. Panics is a very easy wave. There are many personal styles of bodysurfing. Go to Sandys when its big and hollow to see the variety.

PURE !                     ( In mid-April am off to Ghana 'n hoping to share  -  these guys, Ghanaians' are very ocean -oriented as for many fishing is their sustenance ) 'n thought <?> bodysurfing might be great intro for them to surfing, as most der can't afford surfboards, and anyway the wave is really fast..    Anybody share your thoughts.    Stoked bodysurfer!
