    I surfed smaller board for years but after two back injuries I had to give it up, and that was when I first looked hard at bodyboards. I keep two, both 2XL. These Teahupoo waves look especially challenging. These guys must have a talent for riding out the falls. Must be like tossing around in a turbine. Or yoga conditioning. Great show.

    When you consider that a Body-boarder is actually traveling at much lower speed (at least 6-12 MPH slower than a surf-board rider), it is pretty remarkable that Shane Ackerman hasn't been killed from this disadvantage. God Bless him and his family/friends... I'm praying for his safety.

    Started surfing when I was 6, after an injury I resorted to a Mach 7-7 with blue and yellow churchill's in my mid 20s, I have since had some of the most burly late takeoffs,deepest pits, also some of my hardest rides over the falls say what you will it takes as much if not more nutts to ride bigswell on a bodyboard, you cant pump to gain speed, you must commit to a line regardless and for that I respect both with all of my being

    Bodyboarding is...and has always been the SICKEST of the surf riders...!
    I was never very good at it....but i was still totally into it for my high school years in the late 80's and early 90's.
    It wasn't until after a couple of years of bodyboarding that one rich kid got a water proof camera, and came out to our break (on an Australia beach) and took photos of us all bodyboarding.
    When they were developed, weeks later, I got a reality check.
    I had never realised, but my "style"... my stance on the board...was totally hunched. I looked like i was hanging on to that board like how a drowning woman is holding onto the piece of driftwood - or whatever is floating.
    But in the same set of photos, i saw the twins. .. lookin' like consummate Pro's!!
    They were underdogs. Always humble, in all the sports. They were good at them all - but not the best at any. Or so we thought...
    They had their backs arched...their torsos right up and above the board, only the 6 pack touching the board.
    And unlike my goofy lookin' arse, their legs weren't dragging along, they were up and out of the water !
    That arched back, was pivotal. It shaped their bodies like inverted bananas, creating no drag, mid to forward balance....and they just looked fantastic! Like Mike Stewart at pipe...picture fkn perfect!
    And I looked like a drowning rat clinging onto a piece of driftwood! 😂🤦‍♂️
    Huuuge lesson was learmt that day!!
