How to stand-up bodyboard with Danny Kim

[@jzen1455]

Holy sh!t! It was from Danny Kim's stand up tutorial from the early 90s that I learned how to stand up on a bodyboard! Learning the proper foot placement with the rear foot near the inner rail and front foot near the outer rail made all the difference! It's awesome seeing an updated tutorial from a legendary and pioneering stand up bodyboarder!

Can u stand up on a 48 inch boogie board?

[@jack91g]

I have bought the BSD Danny Kim stand up bodyboard

[@brockman562]

This dude had a harder snap than Won. Kim and Yap had vicious snaps/cutbacks. Won just was better at airs.

Danny Kim is chad

[@monarch8086]

I appreciate the video but I can’t understand this guy

[@robbeaton2178]

Lessons from a legend. If you go backside, do you switch foot positions to close off your stance and keep your back leg on your back rail? Or switchstance? I can’t remember if I ever saw Danny Kim pics where he was riding backside.

[@Codgerism]

Yes, I switch which side of the board my feet are on when going backhand (not that I'm great at surfing backhand finless but it definitely helps hold the rail and trim). So if you are goofy going right you would put your back foot over the right rail and front foot over the left rail.

[@muckeyn]

@@Codgerism trying to master this and never thought about the foot position backside. I don’t think I can recall seeing anyone go backside on a boog.

[@braddahkuponz]

@@muckeyn this channel has an old video of Danny Kim riding backside at Makua you can find it scrolling down the channels videos and see his old stand up boog vids

[@masonodhner512]

[@ddreamax]

Got the vintage Bodyboarding issue with Danny Kim on cover.

[@marcielynn4886]

I used to surf with your sister Chris. Drop knee is half of standing.

[@wave._.hunter]

I can’t even surf but I’m gonna try this 😂😂

[@intimatehawaiiwedding931]

No just knows how to surf, you have to start somewhere , remember it's all about having fun.

[@AyaTorres]

The best surfer out there is the one who is having more fun. Go for it! It’s freedom!!!!

and for a backside wave? thanks from Brasil!! :)

[@Nico-vn2ir]

Very nice videoooo thx

[@aaronbanrn6873]

What size is recommended in order to stand up on a body board?

[@melissabotha9485]

46” turbo stoog

[@samsonhinds7953]

Do I have to switch the feet depending on if I go right or left

[@thestereokid6073]

This is my question too. So on your backhand my first thought is to go DK, grab rail and lean back - same as how I take steep backhand drops on my surfboard. How do other guys do it and what’s your thoughts? Tried this for the first time on my 13 y/o boog today, but I’m gonna have to order a bigger board that doesn’t have as much flex. So keen to learn this rad style of board-riding!

[@Codgerism]

@@thestereokid6073 I try to switch which sides of the board I put my feet on when going backhand so your inside rail/tail still grip the wave. Feels unnatural at first but seems to work for me.

[@roberttudor455]

Wow the man himself !!!!!

[@AI_Vania]

What leash is recommended for that board, and where to place the plug?

[@dannykim2251]

I would use a surf comp leash. The thin one, I like them thin for less drag! I would use a plug that would counter sink on the deck so it doesn’t catch on your shorts or leg. I usually put the plug on the area where the tail block area is kind of next to the inside rail area.. Aloha, Danny Kim

[@AI_Vania]

@@dannykim2251 Thanks! Super excited to get this board!

[@mailegirl9291]

@@dannykim2251 wow! Thanks!

[@brockman562]

use a foot leash, and place it where your back foot is located (goofy-back left corner of board/ regular-back right corner of board). I've seen some riders use forearm leashes, but I wouldn't do it.

[@Codgerism]

I put my leash plug on the opposite side of the tail to where my back foot usually goes so it doesn't get in the way, and always use a surfboard legrope!

[@jacobmcvay123]

I ain’t a sales rep but I got a Beater Pro 54” w fins and I was standing up within a week. They’re like the perfect go to board for anything besides big wave surfing. Catch surf sells em.

[@muckeyn]

@@jacobmcvay123 have you surfed before getting the beater?
