  • This video will teach you exactly where to fall and how the waves break when you are inside the barrel. I have tried to explain this as best I could and there may be some parts missing. Enjoy and I hope you learn a bit more from this video.

    I’ve recently just got back into Bodyboarding thanks to my oldest son. Back in my teen days there was no CZcams and everything I’ve learned was from experience. Just would like to say Thank you Ian for making such great tutorials because this sport is not like riding a bicycle and I do need professional reminders just because I’m older and a injury takes a bit longer to recover from. You’re doing a awesome job, Mahalo

    As a sponger mostly surfing shorebreak these days, I really appreciate your insight. I've noticed for many years that I'd been getting spit out the back pretty consistently when I bailed on what I saw as the "flat" inside the barrel, but it turns out I've been laying onto the trough you mention here. Now that I know this, it's going to make it a lot easier for me to consciously plan bailing when I'm getting nommed by a tube.
    Thanks a ton Iain, your explanations in general are super enlightening, very easy to understand and super educational even for an experienced surfer like me (20 years of charging this year!). Big respect from Brittany!

    Thanks so much for this tip. I've been bodysurfing at my local beach break the past few months getting some closeout 1-3ft barrels which has been tons of fun. I think I was kind of doing your method since the wipeouts weren't bad since the shockwave would kind of naturally pop me up and I'd land on my back near the trough. But now that I know to aim for the trough directly it should be even easier going forward. Super good high level tip, thanks a lot man. Love all your content

    Great explanation, Iain. The diagram is incredibly helpful. What I'd like to see next is any advice you have on what to do when you can't avoid the lip/getting slammed. Is there a body position or advice you have for those big impacts and/or getting held down by the wave?

    • @iaincampbell_
      @iaincampbell_  Před 3 lety

      When I was able to swim train, I did about 6-9km in the pool every week. But now it's just getting in the water as much as possible and functional gym training that I focus on. Check my other videos as I have posted some of my exercises and workout on there!

    • @willdodson579
      @willdodson579 Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks@@iaincampbell_. Is that because pools are still closed there? I have seen your home workout vids they look great 💪The waves are a bit hit & miss here in South Australia so I've been working on my swimming 🏊 I go twice a week but I'll need more practice to get up to 6-9km! 😅

    • @iaincampbell_
      @iaincampbell_  Před 3 lety +1

      Yeah the pools are closed still here. I don’t really enjoy swim training but it’s a quick 1 hour session every couple days can really help your fitness. Just do what you can in the pool. I grew up swimming 3 times a week from when I was young so it’s really easy for me to get my fitness up in the pool.

  • @MrDummyKicker
    @MrDummyKicker Před rokem +2

    In my area, I'm riding very tight closeout barrel. In this case, it's hard to go inside the barrel and it's instead easy to end up under the lip. I have many questions:
    1. When you fall into the trough, can you accidentally slip and fall under the lip
    2. Do you recommend covering your head if things go wrong
    3. Should I find a bigger wave to practice this technique
    4. If I go to Sandy Beach in Oahu, does this technique work

    • @iaincampbell_
      @iaincampbell_  Před rokem

      1. Most of the time, falling in the trough should push you straight under the wave and avoid the lip.
      2. Yes, always cover your head.
      3. Sure, if you can.
      4. It should work but be careful as sometimes that wave goes dry inside the barrel. Dangerous place to surf so be safe out there.

  • @j5001bcd
    @j5001bcd Před 3 lety +1

    Nice, Thanks. I would be interested in your technique on riding a high line for staying in tight almond-shapes barrels. Do you stall with leg to help wave pull you higher up the face. Or just turn your way up to a high line?

    • @iaincampbell_
      @iaincampbell_  Před 3 lety

      That’s quite technical but all comes down to legs and rail. Mid to high line surfing is really not my thing but when it needs to be done it’s all about controlling the rail and how the board sits in the water.

Just one question, what kind of exercises would you suggest to someone that isn't always able to surf to often due to being away for school? School starting again for me and i'll be away from the ocean for sometime =(. Obviously experience is the best way to get better, but do you know exercises people should be doing when out of the water to perform better? Thanks again for the content

    hi iain really Nice video. what is better when you r falling in a reef wave, drop the bodyboard and get into the "through" area or hold the buggy very very tightly and also get into the "through" area? thank for this videos, they've helped me a lot surfing in Arica -Chile. some day I'd like to surf Flopos, but at the moment I'm surfing Rancio, trying to ride middle or a big one. cheers !

      Holding onto the board in the barrel can be a tough ask. Sometimes you can do it but the bigger the wave the bigger the beating and sometimes if you end up on your back and get pushed underwater it could maybe get you between the board and reef/sand, making it very uncomfortable for you.
      I prefer to let go and go from there.

    Hi Iain, thanks for explaining. Newbie bodyboarders here - having fun learning with my son. We’ve spent the last three days practicing at Boomer Beach. Question about falling out. When your rolling out in the trough on to your back, do you then let go of the board? We found trying to hang onto it, caused us to be dragged with the power of the wave. We’re loving the trill of the water, but have so much to learn 😀 Thanks

    • @iaincampbell_
      @iaincampbell_  Před 2 lety

      Hi Justin. Yes, let go for sure. If you hang on sometimes the wave can land on top of you and the board and pin you to the bottom which isn’t a fun experience.
      Good luck on your boogie adventure 🤙🏼🤙🏼

    Hi Ian,
    Thanks a lot for the great information you supply us. You really help us a lot. This is pure passion.
    I have a question: I struggle a lot getting me on my board moving farward especially to the lineup with my fins no matter how strong and hard I paddle with my feet. If I wouldn't use my arms and shoulders to paddle and support my feet, I would barley get forward. It feels really bad then while seeing other bodyboarders speeding past me without even having to use the arms for support.
    I wonder if I have the wrong paddling technique or maybe wrong fins, I just don't get it. Maybe it's because I am 1,93 m tall....
    I am confused because I am a quite good and fast swimmer. Sometimes I drop my board and swim instead to get quicker to the line up.
    Without my board I am way faster with fins and arms.
    I just don't get it.
    My duck diving technique is alright with board though. Have no problems with that.
    Best regards from the Netherlands (I surf in France in Portugal)

    • @iaincampbell_
      @iaincampbell_  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi there. So there are a number of things that could be wrong. Your technique when you paddle, your legs staying submerged and in the water or maybe it’s the size of your board. Because you’re so tall you need either a board that is bigger to give you more buoyancy or you may just need to increase the amount of foam. Without seeing any pictures or video there is nothing else I can suggest to you. Remember to stay centred on your board so you can be in the best position when you’re out in the water.
      I hope this helps and give you some sort of insight.

    Another banger from the man 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾. Thank you Iain. Quick question (sorry if somebody already asked)... why land on your back instead of facing the bottom and do a regular dive?

    • @iaincampbell_
      @iaincampbell_  Před 3 lety +1

      I really can’t answer that correctly or have a good reason for it. I feel that landing on my back is just a momentum shift from the wave hitting my rail and sending me into a rolling sensation. Landing in that way just because that’s how the wave has thrown me.

    You can also just keep riding the wave till the very end when its lost most of it's energy. ANd not worry about jumping into it or going back first. This is a good video in my opinion if you have accidently let go of your board. Or have a habit of doing this.

    • @iaincampbell_
      @iaincampbell_  Před 3 lety +1

      It’s not an accident. It’s the wave and the shockwave in particular that bucks you off. Holding onto your board through that process can result in you lying on the bottom with the board between you and the surface getting pounded.

      @@therehere4799 Holding unto the board serves two purposes getting a sick long ride and it provides buoyancy. But you also have to put forward pressure on the board and go down the line. Letting go of the board is fine too if that is what works. This probably works fine except for maybe on a heavy shorebound.

    When you "fall back" I am thinking that your saying throwing my head back into the wave and laying on my back? I was hurt during SO Cals cyclone bomb and I don't know how I could've avoided getting hurt trying to pull out before the wave closed. I was going left, the wave was big and I saw the sand coming so I wanted to duck out before it closed out. And, I went through but it sucked me over the falls and was lipped.
    Help with some advice?

    • @iaincampbell_

      Depends where you are surfing and how big it is. Sometimes it’s dangerous to hold onto your board as it could push you into the sand or reef and other times it’s a bit safer to do that. But letting go generally gets you up and out of there quicker.
