[@pizzxavierv1327]

Another great video, keep em coming. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@iaincampbell_]

Thanks bro. 🤙🏼

[@ecohippie3544]

I've been Boogin for about 30yrs and never really pulled off a move. I can read a wave perfectly and catch it, but I just catch it for the barrel so your "how to" do moves are great for me. However, I thought you could start at the beginning for those frothing groms. Like how to wait for the last wave of the set to paddle out, where to sit, how the read the wave and how to catch the wave.

[@ecohippie3544]

Also, awesome vids and awesome riding.

[@iaincampbell_]

Hey bru... I plan to run through a bunch of video this year and hopefully I can incorporate that into them. It’s hard to have a list as everyone wants something a little different. I will try address this in a video soon!

[@renatofaustroni8234]

Ian, i understand english, but i'm brazilian. Thanks to think on translate the videos to portuguese! God bless you! And thanks for the tips!

[@iaincampbell_]

translations are up bro...

[@colebodyboards5084]

Awesome video! This is really gonna help out a lot of newcomers. I remember when I first was getting into bodyboarding a couple years ago trying to find videos I couldn’t really find anything good. Great job ! Yeww🤙🏻

[@iaincampbell_]

Well glad I can help out and be of some assistance bru 🤙🏼

[@JayBoogiePOV]

nice vid lad!

[@MAELOB]

Love the body follows the head advice, I tend to sometimes move my body first because i am a big guy, I will try like you said, thanks again, now just have to wait for a swell to show up.

[@iaincampbell_]

Hopefully the swell comes through. Would love to know how it goes when you do try. Good luck and keep bodyboarding. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@awsblaws8082]

[@agustingomez1936]

Can’t wait to get back into water and train the spin with your new tips. Thanks for such a wonderful explanation and for another great video. Good vibes and waves from iquique again Ian 🙌🇨🇱🏄🏻‍♂️

[@iaincampbell_]

Thanks so much bru. Appreciate the kind words 🙏🏼

[@ThomasC951]

Forward spin... my favorite maneuver. Thanks for the reminder about turning my head. Would love to do an air forward spin one day.

[@iaincampbell_]

Heck yes bru. We going to get you there for sure bro. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@ronwright5234]

Thanks for the video I'm stoked! Now just need some good waves. Aloha pumehana

[@ronwright5234]

The head movement and body follows is of existential value. Thank you bro

[@iaincampbell_]

Only a pleasure braddah. Stay safe and get some waves soon.

[@benblaikie7487]

Thanks so much. Appreciate it.

[@nigelbarrett3602]

Thanks for this great video can't wait to get in the water and put your expert advice into practice.Thanks from a wet cold and windy Cornwall in England.

[@iaincampbell_]

Hope you get in the water soon and get to try the moves 🤙🏼

[@slimmyles]

wow, I've been trying to do this the wrong way for years. These vids are great. Gonna have to try some of the other tricks you teach too. Thanks!

[@iaincampbell_]

Stoked!! Hope you get it soon!

[@tainoakbuenconsejo7145]

Good tutorial 🤙🏽

[@iaincampbell_]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@jbaguam80]

Thanks Iain great instruction and footage. For about 3 months now Ive improved my spins forward and reverse. Ill try your techniques in my next session. I can do forward/reverse spins going left. However i have an akwardness feeling trying reverse cutting right. I can initiate the move but I stop at a 180. I figure I need to improve on looking at sectionz to initiate the move.

[@iaincampbell_]

Yes exactly right. Keep pushing and try the opposite to what is working on the left, on the the right. Enjoy bro.

[@jackmarx2537]

Sick vid! Cant wait to get in the water now.

[@iaincampbell_]

Enjoy bru. Hope you land some reverses.

[@jackmarx2537]

Fingers crossed😬

[@timwarner5645]

So clean. I wish there were waves in Florida. I have to go visit Houston in PR

[@iaincampbell_]

Yeah bro. Go get it. Even in the small waves, give it a try.

[@jups1]

Thank you for this video! I can only seem to forward spin i just can't wrap my head around the movement for a reverse but ill be defiantly be trying it next boogie sesh! Cheer bro!

[@iaincampbell_]

Good luck bro. And let me know how it goes!

[@krusher74]

if you can (for example) forward spin on a left then spinning that direction/rotation on a right is a reverse.

[@jups1]

I'll be trying next boog for sure ill post a reply if i pull one off!

[@CARLOSAVALOS1976]

COOL CHAMP!!!!!! VERY EXPLICIT!!!!

[@CARLOSAVALOS1976]

Keep teaching us!!!

[@Adotp-]

What about cramps? My body turns stiff half way through the manoeuvre. Haha.

[@stellanmcgowan515]

Ya Big Dog 😂🤙 But your still charging!🤙🤙

[@iaincampbell_]

You got to get good salt in your body and stretch before you surf. Potassium, magnesium and calcium supplements all help with cramping. But stretching will help too.

[@Adotp-]

Iain Campbell Yeah got to get around to that stretching aye. Thanks 👍🏻

[@leovisuals9671]

yeww thanks for the tips, next time I'll ask for another video on your ig live :)

The best trick ever

[@rippingrock8143]

Wow, thanks Iain! Really nice explanation, keep those tutorials coming, please!

[@iaincampbell_]

They will be. And no problem 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@I_AM_ALL_THAT_WAS]

Legend

[@wardsy]

Hi Iain. Any tips for landing flips and ars off of closeouts? I can land in the flats but can't continue the rotation after bracing for landing. PLC seems to spin out straight away even on 6 foot waves.

[@iaincampbell_]

Hey John. All about head movement on the landing. Once you have braced for impact you should start to drop the legs. This will allow you to land and automatically go into the spin. Head position is key in this sport but your legs will anchor you and start the spin. Try that but don’t be too aggressive with dropping the legs as that will sometimes cause the tail to dig in.

[@wardsy]

@@iaincampbell_ thanks Iain, legend

[@TheGujan33]

Great vid and great explanations !! What about rollo ?... 🧐🤘👊👊

[@iaincampbell_]

It’s already been done bro. Got to go into my past videos. All there. 😉

[@TheGujan33]

Iain Campbell oh great ! Thanks buddy ! You’re the king 💥

[@iaincampbell_]

Thanks legend. Would love to get a crown 👑

[@TheGujan33]

Iain Campbell I admit I don’t follow that much competes BUT since I’m following your KZbin channel... you deserve it bro !! Matter of time... 👊💥🤘

[@iaincampbell_]

TheGujan33 thank you bro 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@32davkav]

Reverses are the best!

[@iaincampbell_]

Oh yes they are!

[@johnmellows1222]

Aren’t you digging your fin in the water to slightly help with the rotation? For instance going left your right fin digs in slightly as you dig the rail in to start the spin?

[@iaincampbell_]

Ever so slightly yes. But the head movement is as important.

[@valentinovalentino5479]

When doing a reverse, which leg do you pull up first to initiate the spin? Outside or inside? Does it matter? Lekker video as always 🤙

[@iaincampbell_]

Thank you. Your inside leg will probably go up first but it is your head movement that is so important. Check this video out if you are interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKrHop6VqKmrhJo

[@ballerf.c7452]

Do you do the same for big and small waves

[@iaincampbell_]

Yes. It don’t matter the size.

[@jakew8368]

could you do a how to video on duck diving the wave behind you when you are riding the whitewater toward the shore. thanks🤙

[@iaincampbell_]

Very interesting. I will try to think of a way to explain that for sure. 🤙🏼

[@timhayman103]

What are easier forward spin or reverse because I can already do forward

[@iaincampbell_]

Whichever one you get first would be easier. Perfecting them is the hardest part.

[@jezlucas3878]

Why is it called a reverse or a forward? I understand the way they turn ,just can't work out what the term reverse is in relationship with the wave.

[@iaincampbell_]

I cannot answer that… all I know is it is the same when you’re in any sport. Reverse you’re spinning away with your head so you’re not really seeing too much, forward is easier to follow 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Do a air reverse video

[@iaincampbell_]

There is an air reverse video already bro.

[@stellanmcgowan515]

Such a helpful video Iain, so stoked to go it and use it today and I have a photographer for the sesh. Keep making these amazing vids they really help! Yeww! 🤙🤙🤙 If you want to see the clips from today go subscribe Allied Bodyboards and we’ll post an edit soon!

Sick bru. Will do for sure. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@quepiketazopvtox]

Ian arregla los subtítulos en Español por favor

[@iaincampbell_]

I will get that done today 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@isbodyboard]

I need to hold the board after pushing down? Video: 3m17s

[@iaincampbell_]

No, you can actually keep you hand there. If you can subtly move your hand that will help with control but it’s all about keeping your body centred on the board.

[@isbodyboard]

How to get more splashes in reverse 🙏

[@iaincampbell_]

@@isbodyboard dig the rail!

[@omarsoto8896]

I cant figure out how to position myself to try this, I can do standard 360s but I find this much harder, I always visualize it but when I get in the water Im completely lost , doesnt help that Im 37yo and only been doing this for 1 year 🤣

[@iaincampbell_]

The easiest way would be to start to cutback before the spin and remember the head movement! Good luck. 37 ain’t too old 😉

[@omarsoto8896]

Thanks!

Can you spin on a Broken wave

With speed, anything is possible 😉
