First person POV surfing

[@wowenterprises2118]

As a quadriplegic and former surfer, this video gives me a sense of freedom that I haven't experienced in a long time. Reminds me of a day I caught some 4' rollers on my little six-four egg, just south of the pier in Huntington with no one out. Sweet! Thanks for the waves man, Mucho Mahalo Plenty. I really appreciate it. Rock-n-Shaka bra! Kevin

[@kylebodenham4911]

Kevin Kuklish Hey Kevin. Thanks for the great comment. I had an egg at one stage too and loved it. I have found it really interesting that the video has had some meaning for you on a personal level. I am an occupational therapist and that actually fits in really well with what I love about OT. I get really excited about the thought of people overcoming barriers to do the things they enjoy in life and I'm glad you were able to experience something through my video.

[@wowenterprises2118]

Kyle, I'm not sure you're aware of this but I thought as a therapist, it might be kind of cool to pass this along to some of your clients. I went to school out in California for chiropractic in my former life. During that time I became aware of a group dedicated to help paraplegic/quadriplegic and just generally anyone that can not surf by themselves due to injury or condition get their boards wet once more. They are called Life Rolls on. The group is actually featured in a prominent surf film, though I cannot recall which one.. Oh! I think it might be Step into Liquid. Anyway, the founder Jesse was injured and is now in a wheelchair. I think he used to be a pro surfer and then started this group to help others who love surfing as much as he did. He is great friends with Rob Machado, who helped him with this and they now help countless others get back in the water. So I thought you might want to know so you could pass this along to whomever. I think I might trek back to California one day and look them up.

Wow Kevin, sorry to hear that, but I am grateful that this platform exist and your able to utilize it in this way! I’m currently posting a lot of POV surf vids if you’d like to check em out. Aloha my braddah,

[@dr.lgsagaz3472]

Man, I am brazilian and I don't know how many times I watch this video, your surf is pleasure to see, perfect.

[@seanwarers8483]

Nice beach break...looked clean and LB type surf...nice day ....hv fun...

[@marcelguarachi]

Awesome video. I love silver sun pickups too

[@vsvpjohn3425]

Great video wish we got waves like that in Florida

[@quintonsmith7766]

6 years later... but fark that board looks good under your feet legit ripping. Would like to see a gold coast bank work like this, can hardly get a wave these days...

[@nilsbachmann2569]

+Dash when you're on the wave just keep pumping and to get some speed, because once you have speed you can do anything from top turns to airs even! Trust me I've tried it really helps.

[@jamminjim247]

Dude, for "still experimenting", that was awesome. Everything about this vid was cool. The music really fit nicely. I'd love to see more. Later.

[@surfcrs]

Nice video, nice little waves. Good lighting and ocean color. You really captured the moment!

[@Crawford_33]

Sick video dude! I used to just use the floaty but I bought a mouth mount, the same one that Jamie O'Brien uses, I it's called the 'MyGo'

[@jondrake1977]

And here I was sticking it on my board. I need to do first person like you.

[@charliecooke8947]

[@floridabands7116]

Sweet video, I want to mount the Gopro behind the track pad, it looks bad ass on camera.

[@thetommori]

the first carve is mind blowing

[@jamiekelley4257]

Awesome vid man!! Great control with your wacks off the top!

[@nicksnicknet]

I've been watching so many videos these past few months because the surf here has been so ordinary - looking forward to the NE trade winds to finally subside and some more of this to start happening... This is a good reminder that it does get glassy and offshore up here - eventually....

[@kylebodenham4911]

Hey thanks for the nice complements guys. This video was shot on the Gold Coast. This was shot with the GoPro Hero 3 Silver. I just had it stuck in my mouth. I have just been biting on the orange foam float thing. It usually looks ok but hurts the jaw after a while. I think most guys use the head mount plastic bit to stick in your mouth.

[@tyethomas4854]

+Chicken Plate i use the floaty and i just cut a bit of the sides off and works a dream

[@thierry7290]

This is the ultimate porn to a guy who hasn't surfed in 6 months and is no stranger to the east coast of OZ's primo beachies!

[@HollywoodWestern]

So im still learning and I finally transitioned to a short board about 7 months ago. Been surfing alot but all I can do is just turn and go down the line. I get stiff when I stand up and surf, because I dont know what to do next. Or sometimes ill catch a wave, turn and go down the line, and the wave just breaks. Any tips or advice? I would appreciate it.

[@jamescudmore4736]

+HollywoodWestern those waves he was surfing are perfect there arnt waves like that everwhere. if ue feeling stiff try stretching before a surf and if u r having trouble turning try moving your feet back a bit and maybe bend your knees more but thats just my advice and im no kelly slater

[@fabioroppa3437]

+Dash You may be using the wrong kind of surfboard to you and/or the waves you are surfing.

[@brentclifford9399]

You might be taking off too deep on the wave and getting yourself behind the breaking section. Like others have stated, pumping on a short board is crucial. The standard short board you are mainly surfing the board, whereas a bigger, thicker board will let you surf the wave more. Try analyzing where others are taking off from and make adjustments. You could also be on a super fast wave that is beyond your level. Remember that when you start bogging or getting behind the crumbling section bend your knees and crouch. The lower center of gravity will increase your speed and stability through those parts. As for standing up, do it! Have confidence! Just don't stand up all stiff and tall. Remember all sports require the "sports stance", bent knees, legs shoulder width apart, straight back. Lead all your turns with your head and follow with shoulders and hips. Get aggressive and throw your weight into it. It will take a while but you'll get it.

[@kylebodenham4911]

Hey thanks for the comment! I honestly think the best thing you can do is just have fun. It makes such a difference to your surfing. Keep surfing and having fun. Your surfing will improve by itself. You’ll learn where you can go on the wave and get a feel for how to do it. Also, You usually go where your eyes are looking, as well as where your front arm/shoulder is pointing so try that🤙
