How To Catch Your First Wave On A Bodyboard - Bodyboard Holidays

[@jasonfrye8790]

It’s hard to explain to someone who has never caught a wave, the genuine thrill that comes from feeling the wave’s energy underneath you! I advise anyone who is thinking about doing, to just give it a try, and don’t give up, you want regret it! Great teaching video here! Happy bodyboarding everyone!!

this is a great Vid, i just got back into body boarding at 44 years of age and have gone back to basics but am loving it.. thanks for the vid and cheers from Aus🍺

[@samlichtenstein2754]

I've been bodyboarding since I was 12 years old, and that's how I started. Then I started to improve on bodyboarding to the point where I got to wear fins and bodyboard on bigger waves.

[@Vaudvillain]

That's awesome man🤙🏾

[@Albumcorvus-xii]

There's not many beginning vids out there and bodyboarding has a steep learning curve so thanks!

[@MrMaximisation]

After seeing my daughters bodyboard for the first time with the biggest smiles on their faces, I am determined to learn this so we can enjoy the summer times and get them (and me lol) using the right techniques. Thank you for this video!

[@bodyboard_holidays]

Great video for a quick lesson while I'm on vacation here. Thank you so much for the step by step instructions! Love it!!

[@bodyboard_holidays]

You are so welcome, have fun!

[@eugene8402]

Thanks for these videos, for some reason there are very few educational videos about bodyboarding on youtube. Waiting for the next part about catching unbroken wave!

[@drownedsnowmjweni]

I keep checking every day to see if they've uploaded the tutorial for unbroken waves. bought a pair of fins not so long ago but still using an eps core board, definitely will upgrade to take my riding to the next level

[@bodyboard_holidays]

Have you checked out the rest of our videos? We are adding regular content every Sunday at 8pm. Be sure to check it out. ✌

[@eugene8402]

I sure have! I would appreciate a lot if you make a video about how to catch a rolling wave. Like where to start, how to not fall off the wave down, if it makes sense. Also please announce if you ever plan to come to SoCal, I would definitely try to attend one of your events!

[@maximmaximych]

It's just great💥. Will definitely try it next season.

[@bodyboard_holidays]

Have fun and let us know how you get on!

[@rcppop3090]

I’m a 44 year old beginner 😂 just caught my first real waves last weekend! Broke my cheapo Morey board in half on the second/last day of riding and immediately bought a Science Tanner LTD delta tail bodyboard! Can’t wait to go back! Maybe next week unfortunately it’s about an hour and a half drive but it’s close enough for day trips!

[@bodyboard_holidays]

That is awesome!

[@phuong2776]

Thank you so much. The video is of great detail and examples 💯💯

[@bodyboard_holidays]

Glad you like it and we hope it helps. Let us know what you wold like to see next! 🙌

[@420Jon69]

Great tip turning your body sideways to not get pushed back by the waves walking out

[@bodyboard_holidays]

Absolutely!

[@Andrewscottmusic]

Thanks for the great tips.

[@bodyboard_holidays]

I caught my first wave today, felt like I was flying🪽

[@bodyboard_holidays]

That's great to hear! It's addictive aye?

[@marvinsorto4870]

What beach is this?

This video is shot during our El Salvador trip. You can find out more here..... bodyboard-holidays.com/destinations/central-america/el-salvador/

[@nicolecato634]

I'm a skateboarder and want to surf. Is this a good start to surf?

[@bodyboard_holidays]

Bodyboarding is the perfect way to start your surfing journey. It will help you grow an understanding of how to catch and read different waves. It's also amazing fun and who knows, you may just stick to bodyboarding. 😉

[@candykizz3z68]

I’m 30 and don’t know how to swim. Doesn’t help that I’m really short . 😭 I’m scared to be dragged out !!!

[@bodyboard_holidays]

If you are looking to get in to bodyboarding, please learn how to swim first.
