Top Tips For Drop Knee Riding With Jay Reale

[@owenarthur5185]

Jay, I’ve been a big fan since a grom. I’m 53 this year and appreciate the tips.

[@bodyboard_holidays]

Right on! Glad to hear it!

[@robertcullity1695]

Thanks for that one Jay. I've had to go back to body boarding after 45 yrs of longboarding. Shoulders are kinda shot. Had a friend make a board and been riding it at cocoa beach when the waves are big enough. Drop knee was and is harder than it looks. But face planting so much has helped keep me humble, your video has been a big inspiration to keep at it.thanks so much for that.

I've just turned seventy, and transitioned from stand-up to bodyboard over the last 12 months, (problems with hips and knees, and popping up), and I've got to say I'm really loving it, and I think I've gotten more waves now then ever. But I'm really keen to try drop knee. I'm back in the gym working on my knees and hips, so hopefully I'll be doing dropknee real soon.

Just started nailing the drop knee last week 🐬

[@bodyboardingchronicles602]

Thank you champion!

[@bodyboard_holidays]

Glad you like! ✌

[@nathanwatkins7659]

Thx so much

[@breadwinner6921]

whaddup jay about to come buy a new board hope u got some good deals

[@stewartnewman6365]

Once you can drop knee it’s time to keep progressing and buy a surfboard. Standing on a wave is vastly more fun and rewarding. I used to bodyboard when learning to read waves, couldn’t believe how liberating it was to access so much more wave face and energy / speed on a board.

[@bodyboard_holidays]

Thanks for sharing. It’s certainly beneficial to be able to ride both 🤙🏻

[@sappk4908]

A momentous occassion, I recall that visit well! - Rob

[@treskingos]

Are those fins you're wearing the Tribe T1???

[@BodyboardSchool]

Yes, you can buy them on ebodyboarding.com - they are great fins, particularly if you have wide feet.

[@yyjj4230]

That guy its a god. Love it.

[@BodyboardSchool]

Effortless style!

[@steaknightthemachine]

Guys does the leash have to be on a specific side in relation to the foot in front when riding DK ? I only ride prone until then and i want to try DK but i'm used to leash on right arm and i'm goofy when surfing.. thanks !

[@primofareth5857]

I think same thing applies on bodyboard just like surfing Im goofy as well & put pn left arm

[@jzen1455]

I ride regular foot with leash on my right arm with the leash plug off-center to the right. If I were goofy-footed, I'd do the opposite. Otherwise, my front foot would hit the leash plug. Installing the plug in the center would be less obtrusive, but I would prefer installing off-center to be even less in the way. Of course you always have to be mindful about not stabbing the stringer.

[@jzen1455]

AS I get older, I find getting the front leg in forward enough a struggle as my flexibly is more limited.

[@bodyboard_holidays]

Keep on moving! ✌

[@ljam5788]

What about the MS fins for dk, are they good?

[@BodyboardSchool]

They are super fast or paddling and quite boxy in shape so they should be great for DK.

[@danielbarbosa8578]

Good....thks

[@BodyboardSchool]

No worries, enjoy the knee!

[@danielbarbosa8578]

@@BodyboardSchool is It better BB a little bit bigger than we use as a prone?
