A Beginner's Guide to Bodysurfing | Learn How to Bodysurf

Bodysurfing is not just an incredible teaching tool for us here at Bodhi Surf + Yoga, it is also an amazing form of meaningful play, and even a source of healing.
This video explains what bodysurfing is and its importance for surfers and beach-goers alike. It also features a beginner bodysurf tutorial for complete novices to understand what learning to bodysurf will consist of: how to catch whitewater waves with no equipment, how to use a bodysurf handplane and swim fins, and how to catch unbroken or “green-blue” waves once you get comfortable in the shallow water.
We highly encourage everyone to learn how to bodysurf. It is a very accessible and enjoyable pastime which is defined by its simplicity.
We’ll see you in the waves!

So few videos on topic. Thanks for making. I been doing body surfing for over 30 years

[@BodhiSurfYoga]

couldn't agree more. thank you for watching!

I usually just tell people to position yourself in front of a wave with your ass higher than your shoulders, for brevity's sake, but this instruction is much better in the details. I would add to thank the ocean each time before you enter, but that is a personal decision. I look at it as trying to stay on the good side of what can be a great and powerful friend.

[@BodhiSurfYoga]

Love that. ❤

Can we see a more advanced tutorial now? Like different techniques in the water and when to use each one and even how to spin
