How to duck dive on a bodyboard with eBodyboarding.com's Jay Reale

Get under waves faster without losing your forward momentum while paddling out!

The underwater slo mo was super helpful for actually seeing what you're doing. These pool videos are great for seeing every aspect of the techniques. Thank you!

[@heardinthemusic]

Thanks Jay was just explaining this to the boys... You do it so much more thoroughly!

[@mattpecevich3749]

This video really helped me out. I was getting worked inside and now I see my push up wasn’t “up” like in your video and I was missing my knee on the board. I’m not perfect yet by any means but it was so much easier this morning! Slo-mo was also awesome. Thank you! Love my tribe chief board btw.

Oldschool.... I remember him in magazines in the 80s. Yeahhhhh....

[@Jhart44]

Thanks for this! Any tip on how to get deeper on the duck dive? When I duck dive I feel I don’t get totally under the wave

[@eBodyboardingcom]

Is your board too big for your height/weight? That can make it hard to duck dive. Just practice technique in flat water while you're waiting for waves to come.

Nice, could you do a tutorial on hand drag spins? Thanks!❤🤙

[@eBodyboardingcom]

Hang drags are very old school. :)

How can you duck dive bigger waves because every time I just can’t get deep enough and I get caught by the wave

[@eBodyboardingcom]

See my reply above to someone else that asked that. You really have to practice. When you're out in the surf just waiting for waves is the perfect time to practice.

[@jajanan.kampoeng]

I have polyethylene bb, does my bb will crush apart while duck diving?

[@JayReale]

No, a PE core board will not "crush apart" while duck diving.

[@jajanan.kampoeng]

@@JayReale I mean break apart wasting my board LOL, sorry 4 my poor english. Thanks a lot

Practice makes perfect!

[@antisocialfb6005]

@@JayReale very true. As a matter of fact i have been “practicing” More like practicing getting tubes dumped on my ass and turning me into an item of clothing is a washing machine.. 😂😂😂

Classic reference to the first-ever bodyboarding vids!

[@divebobber]

Doesn't look like the knee does much. I have really stiff knees and back and it's hard to get my knee on the back of the board (I'm an old fart) so I just do the push up and go under and the board seems to naturally angle up through the back of the wave without any knee pressure.

[@eBodyboardingcom]

The knee helps to sink the tail of the board to you can get under the wave.
