Relearning how to bodyboard after my surf accident (multiple injuries = recovered!)

Each year I've nailed myself with some kind of surf injury but my latest accident was by far the worst. After recovering from multiple injuries and getting the green light from my doctor, I dust off my bodyboard and head to the nearest beach/reef. Feeling a bit nervous, I jump into the water and see if I can get back on the horse..

Bodyboarding / surfing waves on reefs, in remote locations around Australia and Bali. I love both novelty and big waves! With everything that's going on in the world right now, there's nothing like getting into some waves and surf to take us away from it all. Self-isolation in some deep barrels is a valid way of social distancing!
I love exploring new waves in new locations and I love bring my viewers along my journey. Sometimes it get's sketchy as some of the waves I surf (shallow reefs, dry reefs, deep ocean slabs) get pretty gnarly.

[@CaydenMatro]

All the dislikes are from the doctors that said he couldn’t go bodyboarding

[@maxmiko6122]

Willy is the type of guy to ease back with a 10ft shore break

[@maxmiko6122]

Milespb ik just something he would do

[@Dan-wn2lg]

Nope

[@boogieheads]

[@kaijones9707]

Yeeeeeew Willy so glad your back in the water! I don't bodyboard anymore because I moved to surfing, but you started my surf/bodyboard journey when I saw one of your videos and I was thinking how this is the coolest thing in the world. The next day I went bodyboarding in some trash waves. Since then now I'm surfing 8ft+ waves and it really has changed my life. Glad your okay now willy pls don't die thank you

[@DubzieTV]

Yo Will! Had no idea this was your channel, was wondering who was taking all these vids of our local spots. I recently got back on the Boog myself, I'm over in BV, hit us up for a surf some time ;)

[@Dan-hn1lx]

Hope you find some slabby fatties soon and great to hear your doing a lot better and recovering from very serious injuries.

[@blinkMATIC]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@the11theleven]

[@mjtoogood9828]

Hope you are ok

[@kolbyf3352]

Don't worry willy I don't think many bodyboarder have destroyed their solar plexus buy slamming into their board which is wedged into a reef more than once so if your think about it your either not going to get hurt again or you will have a world's first it's a Win Win 😅😅

[@jordantaualii6268]

I see youre riding a found bodyboard. Absoloute gun of a board shout out @mitchrawlins

[@claytoncraven7844]

Churr willy what wetsuit ,flippers,and board,size ,core do you use bro.

[@the40yogamer]

only time i body surf is when i lose my board and just hold my arms back and to my sides and just push the head forward

[@AlbertMyBru]

You lucky you have soany reef breaks in aus. I have like 2 reef breaks in my area😂

[@kolbyf3352]

Rip . I lost my go pro in the water the other day a friend passed it to me and I tried to wrap th leash through my wetsuit but the bugger slipped my hands and somehow disappeared into 1ft water never to be seen again 😪

[@idratherbefishing2828]

Omg bro sooo sorry sounds crap but hope you fell well

[@himate1769]

Which state you from mate? I know a few secret spots in Vic for body boarding!

[@ethanboulos854]
