#iaincampbell #howto #dropknee Хобби
I've been dropkneeing for the last 25 years. Some other tips to add: 1 - Stick to standard crescent tails and channels will definitely help, especially in the bigger suckier stuff. 2 - Drop knee is more similar to surfing so take note of how our cousins draw lines. 3 - Your inside knee is the key to success so treat it like your hip/elbow and dig it in hard. 4 - It will take longer to get the basics down than prone (and possibly standup) but it's very rewarding when it starts coming together.
100% on all of those. Thanks for the comment.
I use a V-tail. But I would agree not to use a bat tail for DK but it can be done if you want a loosey goosey tail. Standard channels are ok but I rock a dual concave bottom on my whip and it hold better than any standard channel will. I use to ride flat bottom but after having dual concave channel at the bottom, I'll never go back. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@superchanneljim yup. Double concave (DC) has really changed bodyboarding. Ive been riding DC for two years now on Pride Boards way more speed, projection, and position lock on the wave.
I had a board with channels and a single concave, which was so fast and held a line well. I have used dual concave though, next on my list.
Robbie G, you have video of you Jack Stancing? Looking for to seeing your Drop Knee footage?
I’ve been a mainly dropknee/jackstand bodyboarder for a bit over 11years,I must say your on video is on point. You explained it very well,it’s definitely a great feeling once you get it down💯Practice,practice,practice! Aloha from Oahu,Hawaii 🤙🏽
Thanks so much man. Appreciate that. 🤙🏼
Ian, you are really down to earth and generous with your knowledge. I love how you mention that sharing your knowledge with us is a blessing and an opportunity for you as well.
Thanks for the kind words bru… 🤙🏼🤙🏼
I'll wait the second part and see u using the those tips on the waves
You left the most famous and stylish move off this list; when you get up on your backhand and your front fin hooks the wave and puts you into a forward spin. If you can come out of the spin without falling you can make your kook move look pretty sweet 🤣 and totally planned 😎
🤣🤣🤣
Hi Iain! So my 9year old laaitie just starting surfing and he is stoked. Now me being in the water helping him catch waves also got the bug! Use to be a local in Melkbos some 20 years ago! Although miles from comp level. Thanks for all the videos. This sure is going to help when I get my bodyboard!
So flipping epic bru. Stoked you’re back in it with your kid. It’s a special place to share with your young one. Enjoy getting back into it.
I also stand up regular and drop knee goofy! I thought something was wrong with my brain!
No bru. There is lots of us 😉
that is so weird man cos I drop knee opposite to how i'd stand up and i just assumed i started learning it the wrong way around and my brain just learnt to adapt
great info on how to dropknee, thank you!
Thanks for the comment.
Oh damn dude nice one.... Been waiting for this....
Been needing this video thanks 🙏
Been waiting for this, Solid video as always. Much love from Southern California!
More to come soon. Thanks bru.
Thank you Iain that was very helpful!
Thank you soo much for this. There’s no other good video on this
Going to work on my drop knee this weekend. Haven't practiced it for a while. Edit: Thanks for the awesome video.
Good luck!!
@@iaincampbell_ Thanks man
Jah Bless from South Puerto Rico
Team Coquí Bodyboarders
thank you so much, because of all your"how to videos" i was able to do so many tricks. thank you so much, you helped me grow as a body
boarder.
Thanks so much for these messages 🤙🏼🙏🏼 this keeps me wanting to do more work like this 🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@iaincampbell_ no problem, i just had a question... what's the best way to grow as a body boarder, like physically, skillfuly, and mentally?
I feel the best way is to surf as much as possible. Get in the water and enjoy the ocean. You will grow strength both physically and mentally through that. Trying new tricks and progressing as a rider will push your skill levels!
@@iaincampbell_ thank you so much hope you have a great day and night.
Awesome stuff!
Thank's 🤙 im practicing that right now perfect timing bro
Great video! Really usefull
Yew! Thanks Iain absolutely love all your how to video's my bodyboarding has improved 100% by just puting your tips in place.
I will give these a go next time I'm in the surf I'm sure with your tips I will be ripping DK in no time.
Thanks man. Just trying to share that boogie stoke. 🙌🏼
Just to add.. I think I'm the only dropknee rider on the island, I live in florianopolis/SC. It's sad that the sport isn't appreciated, I feel it deserves alot more praise.
All we can do is love our sport as much as possible and promote it wherever we can. Thanks for the support. Keep ripping the boogie 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Great Video mate ;)
Thanks!!🤙
thank's bro for the info
I've been living in Brazil for just over 2 years. We have some amazing beach breaks here in the south, its helped me to really enhance my Dk. Nothing like a Dk barrel, super free flow. I'm coming for that world title kkkk
Haha. Yeah bro. Come for sure. We will be waiting 🤙🏼🤙🏼
bro, you are the best before I did not know how to do the dk well and thanks to your video now I can do it
Thanks so much bru.
Amazing..... Very good!!!
Thank you.
Thanks Brother
really thank you very much teacher.
🤙🏼🤙🏼
Any advice on breathing techniques and how to survive big shorebreak. Your vids help me a lot thanks.🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Nothing I can teach about breathing techniques but try the wimhoff method. And shorebreak are all about letting the wave beat you and don’t fight the water, ever!
Don't breathe the water!!!
Haha ...and letting go... good old Wimm, I bet he boogs gnar waves.
I have two questions.
1. Do I need DK board practice? Or practice with my Bodyboards (for prone)
2. Do You also use the same board DK and prone?
You can use the same but some boards are better for prone and some are better for DK
1. No. Majority of the riders on tour ride the same for both dk and prone.
2. Yes. My board is made to be super versatile.
Thanks for the help, now to try when we are allowed to surf 🇿🇦
I know right.
Ahoys! Cant wait to dk some heavy kalk bay reef! Will be awesome to see you there soon.
I hope I can get there soon man. Really want to ride there.
@@iaincampbell_ ya I haven't been in the water in for about 8 years but your videos got me so amped im charging hard again! Thank you for keeping me sane during lock down!
drop knee-ers throw way thicker fans than surfers and i'm certain it has something to do with the lack of fins and a wider board surface area
That sounds like it could be the reason for sure. There is something about dropknee turns. They often look massive.
Was.up.from Hawaii
Yo 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Do you have and tips on el rollos? I am ok at them going left but going right I cant do them at all. Sick vid.
Hey bru. Check the bodyboard tutorial playlist on my channel. Have many of the moves already there.
Could you possibly do a DK video about riding backhand. I personally dont struggle with DK on my forehand, but i just cant get up, and keep my balance on backhand. Would greatly appreciate some tips ❤
Will definitely put it on my list of things to do...
@@iaincampbell_ Thank you🙏🙏
Colll man tnx
I’m in SoCal so when i’m not drop-knee, every wave is overhead.
If i can control my rigor mortise then the waves will be head-high.
🤣🤣🤣
Hi Iain hopefully you can answer this question.
@4:32 You mentioned Sascha Taljaard advised you to practice drop knee in the back line, waiting for waves. Did you mean to practice the movement (Get up, stabilization, or the movement) while you're just in the water but not actually catching a wave ?
I've ridden prone pretty much 99% of my time bodyboarding, and very little riding drop knee. At times when I'm waiting for a wave I would do the movements. I want to complete my knowledge in all aspects of bodyboarding, Drop knee is the final discipline. Your video has been very helpful for me. Thank you!
Yes I mean while you’re waiting to catch waves you can balance on dropknee. Will help you to figure out your foot positions and balance.
@@iaincampbell_ Thanks Iain, tried this other day, it helped ! I was able to able to at least get in and get a short ride. Im still clumsy on the set up but I'll practice more.
Hey, you probably won't see this, but any chance of getting a drop knee vid for backside. I can't find much about it, and I find it really hard. I couldn't find the follow up video you were going to do. It would be awesome if you could 😁
Working on it!
@@iaincampbell_ legend 👌
Hey Ian...thank you so much for this video as there are not too many...in getting to my knees I pull the board underneath me...Is this correct?...thanks
It’s more pulling your body up than actually pulling the board underneath you.
Hi, Looking for a bit of advice - I have a hip problem that means I can't stand up surf anymore but have found on dry land I can get the drop knee position. Is it possible/efficient to use just the fin on the rear leg so I don't have to bring my front leg round and up so much? Thanks!
Be careful when you are bodyboarding as your hip flexor gets extremely overused. This may be from kicking and possibly stabilising yourself so if you are having problems with your hips I’d be very careful of that. My advice would be to try one fin and see how it feels but be mindful of the hip flexor and stress you’re putting on them.
@@iaincampbell_ Thanks a lot. It is a psoas/arthritis problem. Popping up to my knee on dry land feels fine but I feel the extra lift needed in the water may overstress it. Will try the one fin. Really appreciate the input👍
Hi, are there any DK bodyboards for under 200 USD? I just don't want to mess up on a decision.
I doubt it. That’s a pretty cheap board unless you find something second hand.
Iain Campbell Do you think the Morey Mach 7 would be a good choice? www.amazon.com/Morey-Mach-7-42-Bodyboard/dp/B01HDV15P2/ref=sr_1_16?dchild=1&keywords=Hdpe+bodyboard&qid=1599980007&sr=8-16
@@wherebystreet7385 Sure, if thats what you are after...
Thanks Iain ! Very useful ! U should add water images to your explanations next time ! An advanced guide about turns and tubes would be great !
I can’t get in the water right now so that’s pretty impossible man. And I don’t really have budget to pay for a filmer for my RUclips tips at the moment. Maybe when this channel grows I will consider that.
Best bodyboards for drop knee? EPS or PE or pp
I would say PP. The others are a bit too soft…
Si pudieras poner subtitulos en español seria genial 🤙
Gracias☺️🤙🌊
is it bad I want to go straight to DK? I'm a standup surfer and I have no desire to ride prone, but I love watching DK videos.
Not at all man. Jump on a board and go for it. 🤙🏼
Iain when going backside do you put more weight on your front foot?
You need to adjust and move weight to the rail closest to the wave.
@@iaincampbell_ thanks bro! Will get some practice in the summer 👍🏽🤙🏽
Please print out templates of ABP so us novices can produce cards in order to boogie. Thanks Ian
SABA governs what happens in bodyboarding in SA. Speak to them bru.
MORE VIDEO'S PLEASE?! LoL! ;)
Tutorial videos coming next week… 😉🤙🏼
you should do a how to get sponsored video
Sure thing...

There can't be a dominant foot ...both are the same...just the brain gets in the way ... embrace both stances...like skate/snow.
Or we could just follow the stand up rule of frontside and backside? Each to their own I guess.
Yeah, jack the ripper! 😎 legend
this guy sounds like he’s really bad at faking an english or Australian accent
