I was a bodyboarder for decades until I got rid of the board and really started bodysurfing in heavy conditions. It is very physical, more than surfing, because you can never rest. So you must develop techniques to stay afloat with minimum effort, switching between legs and arms when you are on the lineup. Also, you are slower on the waves, and you will endure wipeouts more often, pretty much systematically. You got to pick your waves carefully and sometimes let a bomb pass to catch your breath. But the counterparts are awesome.
@rangatrips Ай бұрын
I agree 100% with the wipeouts, but I'm still trying to figure out what is the most physically demanding. I used to only handle 2 - 2.5 hrs of bodyboarding before I cramped out. Now bodysurfing I can do 4 - 4.5 hrs before cramps set in. Standup Surfing my arms get pumped quickly, but I hardly ever surf. During bodysurf session, I'm definitely using minimal effort during downtime between waves, and just focus on short burst paddling as hard as possible to get speed into the wave. You definitely don't use alot of energy paddling out, but if there is a strong current that drains you to try and stay in position. So probably depends on the conditions really.
@s.z.9517 Ай бұрын
@@rangatrips I live in South West of France, we have strong currents and beach breaks and on big days it is definitely dangerous without a board to rely on. I never get cramps and I workout three times a week so it's not about muscular fatigue, more about cardio and stress management. I can stay 3/4h too on a regular day but when it's big (over 3/4m) I get out as soon as I get a big scare. I mean getting ragdolled for 10 seconds under water and having trouble to find the surface (harder without a board). On some spots around here you really have to swim hard just to stay at the same place because of current.

@@s.z.9517 awesome part of the world mate, I was there about 20 years ago at Hossegor // Seignosse. My favourite spot in Australia is kind of similar, it has 3 - 4 peaks with strong current. But I just start at one end , and once I get ripped to the other end, I just walk up the beach and start again. Anyway stay strong bro and keep riding free!
@s.z.9517 Ай бұрын
@@rangatrips Yes I have my own ticks as well, using the channels between peaks to reach the lineup with favorable currents. But we also have dangerous currents called "baïnes" and when you're stuck in them, it's hard to stay calm ! Sometimes it even sucks you down to the bottom ! Anyways, I'll never go back to bodyboarding, I've become quite good at bodysurfing and the feeling is unmatched. Also on big days, surfers tend to show you respect for your engagement and this can help with localism, very strong (in Hossegor for example).

Sorry to hear about your troubles mate, life does throw alot of crap at us, but its unavoidable. Its hard to keep pushing and the ocean is a great distraction by allowing you to get away from "normal reality" and experience things that really matter. Eventually things on land will correct themselves over time and in their own time. A good way to get confidence to bodysurf is to enter local ocean swim events. They have 1km // 2.5 km options. You can then test your abilitities whilst being surrounded by lifeguards for small entry fee. All the best mate, you'll be allright!

very amusing. If you camped at the base of the cliff or twenty meters back from the edge in the trees you would have been out of the wind but in danger of branch drop.

At least the rock you were next to stopped you being blown off the rock. ya got to try these things every now and then. many a climber has drunk Tuna coffee🤠🍵
@rangatrips Ай бұрын
Cheers mate! Yep I'm also a big fan of the bivvy bag , from my thru hiking background. After a long day of hiking I can't be bothered setting up a tarp. Climbing, obviously they are restricted by whatever the cliff provides, so bivvy bag wins almost every time. Climbers must have a good laugh at all the survivalist youtubers, cos climbers understand what you really need to get the job done. I was going to camp at the base of the cliff, but chose this spot purely for the sweeping view and had no idea that a storm was coming through. I'm sure I'll be havin some tuna can coffee again soon enough! Cheers mate!

For decreasing the "flapping" and the noise of the tarp you should use some heavy duty bungee cord between the guyline and tarp. When doing these kind of trips, I would also recommend that you read up on all the different tarp setups and the best suitable knots to use, and how to properly securing your plugs when the ground does not hold, eg sand plugs works in sand on a calm day, not in a hurricane, then you need to secure them properly or make a snow anchor ( will also work in sand )..... Best of luck

Yeah. One of the main things is picking your spot. Sand is no good for stakes - they'll pull right out. Also - you had no natural protection from any direction. We liked to camp inside the former cinder block foundation of a house. No house at all - just the foundation - but - that kept us out of the wind ... depending. Even then - I had wind blowing right through the zipper on my sleeping bag. Gave up on that and got in the car. In the Desert - we'd make walls of rocks to break the wind. The problem with a pit - is that will get you out of the wind but the rain will fill it up. Picking a good spot takes time and once we found one - we'd camp in the very same spot each time. .
