Professional Bodyboarder Reacts To Bodyboard Fails (Kookslams)

[@mcflyboarder9537]

“Or not be in that place.” Words to live by 😆

[@iaincampbell_]

Definitely 🤣

[@B1rdTheW0rd]

Loved it. 🤣

[@rainaclarke6464]

Rocks: *exist* Iain: Ok, let’s just stop right here! 🤣😂🤣

[@iaincampbell_]

Hahaha 😂

[@manuelandrade7]

When you fail, fail hard and make it look deadly! That's the Bodyboard Spirit!

[@iaincampbell_]

Oh yes it is!!

[@zanemattisson]

"This guy...this guy's not in a good space right now" LOL

[@iaincampbell_]

🤣🤣

[@oliverelliott6770]

Iain Campbell videos are more important than school

[@iaincampbell_]

Definitely. Educational and fun! 😂😂

[@jeremyreid9582]

Yes, Iain’s comments are both invaluable and entertaining BUT never underestimate the importance of school. EDUCATION and EXPERIENCE are vital to your success in life. Remember that life is both valuable and short ... so please do not miss any opportunity to help both yourself and others. 🤙🏼☯️☮️

[@MaryOKC]

I’ve never body boarded but I snorkel and swim and recently moved closer to the ocean and want to try my body at boarding. These videos give me greater confidence plus the waves aren’t spectacular but enough for a good afternoon adventure. ☺️

[@iaincampbell_]

Good luck and enjoy the journey.

[@SurfAddictionUK]

I love watching and rewatching this dude, i think its the expressions on your face that make it so much fun to watch 😂

[@iaincampbell_]

🤣🤣 thanks bru 🤙🏼

[@Dave-to5it]

This was a great video. Video idea: could be reacting to a highlight reel or something cuz I think the reacting makes great content. Quality of videos is getting better and better every vid🤙🏻

[@iaincampbell_]

I plan to do more of these so any ideas are always welcome. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@jeremyreid9582]

Dave, I support your suggestion. It is a great way to learn - having experienced persons comment on others actions and options. “An intelligent person learns from their own mistakes. But a wise person learns from the mistakes of others !”

[@jodada97]

I wish you reacted to the teahupoo gopro footage of that guy dropping in Insane how quick he comes up

[@KickingTeeRugby]

No.3 How did he survive that rock jump!? I think there are some broken bones there , EASY! I enjoyed your reactions too, not overboard and no swearing. Keep it up

[@iaincampbell_]

Thanks man. Ja that rock jump is messed up!!

[@ICON-11-]

So much respect for you my brother and couldn't have given any better advice than that!! Much love from Maui❤😁🤙

[@iaincampbell_]

Thanks so much Michael. Appreciate it bru!

[@appleZac]

man, love your reactions. That nose butt to the flowrider looked worse everytime you played it. More of these vids please! i'm bound to make it on there one day... always getting slammed

[@iaincampbell_]

🤣🤣 thanks man. The flow rider is so heavy... but hopefully I’ll get you on a video soon 🤙🏼

[@SwimwearArchitect]

5:40 is the 200 year old "Bogie Hole" in Newcastle. Holding those chains and getting smashed has been the thing to do there all along.

[@iaincampbell_]

Bet doing it with a selfie cam is not how you guys do it though??

[@1Lotusflower]

Really excellent reaction video! Many of those looked bloody painful, but I did laugh at the skimming one where he faceplanted the sand, I was like "WTF are you doing!!!" lol I couldn't help worrying about many of them though, my anxiety hit the roof on some

[@iaincampbell_]

🤣🤣

[@Montsemagical]

Thank you Ian! You are making my life much easier, safe and fun in water! Once, I went to body to a spot ( in Antofagasta) to feel like "she hero" 😅😣 or to prove myself but I almost drown and left the spot crying. Thanks for educating!

[@iaincampbell_]

Yes it’s not always sunshine and rainbows in the ocean... tough place to be at times but we have to just learn and adapt!!

[@TannerMartty]

Fun to watch you react to these fails. I'd love to watch you do a similar video focused on intermediate/advanced boarders in heavier conditions like the breakdown you did on the Chopes guy in this video. Would be helpful and entertaining for everyone intent on improving their skills safely.

[@iaincampbell_]

This can be done… I’ll try and do something soon!

[@lachlanboocock26]

your videos make my day

[@iaincampbell_]

Thanks man. Appreciate it.

[@saltyconvict7000]

That was Dan Ryan @ chopes

[@iaincampbell_]

Thanks man. I knew it was someone crazy!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@jeremyreid9582]

Great video Iain (and Rosie). Thank you too for the sage advice .... “Never turn your back one ocean” are words to LIVE by. (An alternative to ‘never turn you back on the ocean’ is ‘always recognise your own immortality’ ?)

[@iaincampbell_]

For sure man. That’s a good one too. Appreciate the kind words ✌🏼

[@jeremyreid9582]

... should read MORTALITY, not immortality! 😂

[@jakemckenzie7044]

Wrong place wrong time 😂

Always seem to catch people.

You're gonna get so many requests to make this a regular kinda post, he he. Loved it.

the teahupoo clip was dan ryan .

[@iaincampbell_]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@BKJ-88]

Rock jumps can be so dodgy, also getting in at some reef breaks is just as bad. I hate barnicles and sea urchins!

[@iaincampbell_]

Yeah man. It’s not the softest landing you can have but it’s so much fun!!

[@bodxpov8902]

Il y a vraiment des personnes dans se monde qui sont malchanceux mais qui nous nous fait vraiment rire😂😂😂

Such a good laugh.

Paddling to a wave is the same as crossing the street ! You have to look left and right !

[@iaincampbell_]

🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@alexandreouya9072]

Hi Ian, As you already know I’m a big fan of your work . But this episode is definitely not my cup of tea. I have seen by the past few videos of kook life and it’s quiet funny. Maybe it’s because I have been bodyboarding for more than 30 years. I think there is nothing to learn in this type of videos except having a good laugh for few ones. Maybe again I missed the purpose of your episode. Continue to do what you do best. Talk about of our sport and show us your amazing skill. I think showing us your area the environment the beaches where you surf should be great. Do you have a friend who use a drone ? It could be great to see the landscape where you leave and surf. Thanks again for all the amazing stuff you have shared with us. Aloha ! 🤙🏾

[@iaincampbell_]

Thanks Alexandre. I understand not everyone is going to like my videos I put out and that’s all okay. All I am trying to do while I cannot currently surf or leave my house for long periods of time is get some content out that can help educate and teach people. I am in the process of getting a drone as well as some new lenses and a few things for the channel next year. I have been really sick recently so it’s been tough for me to get new ideas done when I am feeling so bad. Hope you understand that helping people and educating them with a bit of a laugh like in this video is what I am really passionate about. Keep well and hope you enjoy the next one. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@grantsw1]

Yeeessss!! You lived in Durban that’s where I’m from and there was floriders at gateway. Some of the best memories ever until I moved to Sydney

[@iaincampbell_]

Oh, I've been waiting for this

[@iaincampbell_]

[@JasonKaipat-v6r]

Dang a board to the back

[@hawaiianseaturtle009]

A large problem with majority of any kind of surfer today is they have no surf etiquette! Look both ways before you cross the street! 🤦‍♂️And the upcoming Groms are the worst. Like their parents never taught them etiquette in the water

[@iaincampbell_]

Yes I agree this is a big problem and that is what I am trying to help people understand is that the ocean is no joke and you could really injure someone if you are stupid in the water...

[@hawaiianseaturtle009]

@@iaincampbell_ Mother Nature is very dangerous and all of us as fellow surfers need to try to minimize risks to each other. Thanks for doing your part in trying to educate the ignorant :) love from Hawaii!

[@Rooster1172T]

Ohh this is going to be good!

[@wtfollow3594]

awesome video, thanks bru!

[@leonardooliveira1580]

Another nice tip is that you should never put your board, when you're standing, between you and the wave. Chances are that the wave is always stronger than you, so the board will likely hit your face

[@iaincampbell_]

Very true!! That will have to go in the next one... 😉🤙🏼

[@jahpedro3971]

11:20 that happen to me last year my kid's and I were having fun in the shorebreak I thought I'd try and skim, same result as this poor fella 😂

At 9:00 it looks like it could be Ke Iki beach, just a little east of Waimea Bay?

No that’s definitely Waimea with the rocks in the back like that. Keiki only has one rock that extends out while Waimea has some scattered rocks out the back...
