Not all of us live and surf in Hawaii, Bahamas, Tahiti, etc. try opening your eyes while ducking diving in San Diego and see how it feels
Jaja I live in CR lol it’s saltyyyyyyy
hahaha i was there yesterday and was like: should i...be opening my eyes?
I live prolly 2 to 3 hours north in Manhattan beach waves there are small but chill I’d try it sometimes
Lmao, try really cold Chilean beaches, you either freeze your whole face, or eat lots of sand
She said unless it’s gross and sandy
So it's even more amazing that Bethany Hamilton can do this with one arm, wow! Thanks Holly!
I live in Nebraska what am I even doing
I'm in wisconsin
Lol
+Kelsey Lowe That's ok. Just go to a swimming pool and do the duck dive. It's the latest craze, all the kids are doing it.
+Kelsey Lowe Wishing you wouldn't live in a landlocked shit hole, no offence of course.
I live in ohio.
Excellent tutorial. Can you believe there was a time before this was invented? I remember Richard Davis brought this to our crowd in '77. He had just come back from Cal., from a contest and saw it there. He was a great contest surfer. So he started duckdiving, and it caught on super quick.I was a grom just a little younger than R.D. However, I had an older brother by 11 years who had a clique of friends who resisted duckdiving.
So one time me and 2 friends were paddling out trailing my brother and his crew. When we got to them they were just coming up to the impact zone, it wasn't big, some shoulder high wind chop. Well we all started to get beaten and needless to say me and my buds sailed right through it. I looked back in between beatings and laughed and pointed to them, 'see? It works.' They started practicing on that very session. It was early '78 and about one-third of the crowd had caught on by then, us groms and R.D.'s clique. It was like watching anthropology unfold before your eyes.)))
I'm transitioning from my 8" to my 6"4, and watched your video for tips before i get out on my new board. This was so informative and I cant wait to try out all the tips. thank you
I didn't need to learn how to duck dive but I'm happy RUclips suggested this video
Yeah mate. And here I am, a [Redacted] 4 years later, searching up what the [Redacted] is a duck dive for an assignment. What do I get? A full, comprehensive guide to duck diving, given to me someone who deeply hurts me when she talks
Here in Bali the waves are so powerful, even small ones, I usually get swept away when duck diving but bailing and swimming deep works. I will be trying your techniques tomorrow in the surf. Great video. Thanks!!
I've surfed for about 45 years. No-one did this when I started on longboards, later on when I had shortboards, I saw duck-dives but did not understand the technique; I used to paddle hard at the whitewater then just lie there, which half works but you can't get away with it in any size so I did a lot of reeling in and remounting.
Finally, I saw something in Tracks mag that got me onto it.
it was someone suggesting that using your knee or back foot the way you use a spade, scooping it in. I understood that and started using my back foot. When I got it right I came through like magic.
I've used it up to 8foot, even whitewater at that size - get your timing right and try to get into the circular roll of the wave right at the base.
Great video, I'd recommend using the "spade" technique as an example, because when I heard that I understood.
Dude, it hurts when she says amiga.
Chris Day sounds about white
damn i thought i was the only one
Chris Day nope! Ur wrong about it sorry:( no hate
I thought it was her name
Why?
Thanks for the part about how to actually get your foot onto the tail pad. I've watched several other duck dive videos and they all ignored that part. I have been using the "knee out to the side" technique that you criticize in the video, and and it hasn't been working well for me.
Also, the "tilt the board" trick for duck diving a bigger board sounds useful, and I hadn't seen that mentioned anywhere else either. With a bigger bored I always turtle roll, but I'll try this tilt technique on some little waves next time I'm out with the mini mal ...
Def one of the best videos on this, didn't realize I wasn't getting my body low enough.
as a dude surfing his whole life, I learned many things with this! great video thanks for helping people
watched every duckdive video on youtube, this seems to be the best, great job. Wish the water wasn't so murky out here so I could keep my eyes open
This is the best video about how to duck dive on youtube so far, congratulations!!
I admire you Holly!! Thank you so much for your instruction & talent to help all of us not get injured. I never thought about trying it in my pool. I have a 7'8 hand shape & the 8' Wave Storm. I can come up with a billion excuses for not trying. The #1 reason is my bones are fragile, wrists, elbows, knees are boney, am in menopause at almost 53 yrs old & weigh under 100 lbs soaking wet. Pop ups are still a problem. Any suggestions? Tnx from sunny Palm Bch Gardens, FL. Peri
hey there. unfortunately with the boards you are riding and your self-proclaimed strength issues, it's going to be super hard/impossible for you to duckdive. what you should do is turtle roll! i also posted a video on how to do that. check it out!
Cool

***** I live in central california...
Sweet as!! Bestest tute on it I've seen. Actually gives examples of why and what you're doing wrong. cheers Girlie
Thanks! I am 13 and I have a 6’7”. I’m going to try the tilt it while pushing under. I hope it works!
Thanks for posting this video! I learned very much. I didn't find a serious video in my language from people from my country to teach " a furar uma onda", as we speak in Brazil. Again, Thank you! Obrigado!
These are the best surf tutorials I'e found. Thank you!!!
I've been surfing so long I can remember a time when this didn't exist.One of the rippers here brought it back.The older dudes scoffed at this technique.It caught on in no time after the grom crew (me and my crew) were blasting through the paddle-out and the older dudes were getting dogged.This was in 1979.It was funny because my older brother was part of that group that resisted at first.I remember looking at these cats struggle and I looked over at my bro as I shot past them with 3 of my buds,who were less talented than the older guys. They got out faster and believe it or not,schooled the older guys at that moment.From then on,the turtle was extincted.
You know this guy^ is og when he says "cats"
The Amiga is a family of personal computers introduced by Commodore in 1985. The original model was part of a wave of 16 and 32 bit computers that featured 256 KB or more of RAM, mouse-based GUIs, and significantly improved graphics and audio over 8-bit systems.
Gret vid Amigas, I learn loads from there videos!
Best guide I've seen so far.
i love your vid amiga! we actually use the word amiga here in my hometown, anyway! I am a beginner so this pretty much helps!
I'm so glad I found your channel. Wish I lived closer and could go to one of you retreat! I'm really petite and at stronger waves I really struggle to get back in. I have a fish 7'2, will try your technique when out there next time :)
Wasn't getting my body low enough. Been doing this wrong for a long time. Thanks for this.
number 1 - You need to have a Surfboard?
no
thank you for the explanation now i can very well duckdaves
lil Nate poor Dave... getting ducked all day
I can't open my eyes under water it burns lol
best duck dive video ever
nice video!! i m teaching my 8 years old daugther and this was very usefull!!! thanks!!!!!!
This is so awesome and cool!
This video taught me so much more than I knew!
I’ve got a 10’2” Aipa that’s probably got at least 70L of buoyancy.
I get all the way up on the nose and just shove the nose under. The back end usually gets hit by the wave but it forces the board to level out and come back up.
Maybe turtle roll is best. But I prefer just shoving the nose under and I’ll immediately use my hands to brake in case the wave does try and take me with it. Works in overhead waves if you’re closer to the shoulder.
Awesome tips! I used to frog leg and fuck up. Just gotta use my knee
I'm from Bavaria. No sea. But I love to watch surfing videos ❤️
Thanks so much this will be really helpful for big swell🏄
Good video. Additionally, after learning the basics shown here, you gotta learn to squeeze your elbows towards each other after you push the board under. Sometimes when duck diving big whitewater, you will lose the board and it is going to hit you in the face. You prevent this by keeping your arms in between you and the board. OP knows this. Easier to demonstrate. Maybe a good topic for another video.
My HWS is 6.6'...I get pushed back to shore hard trying to dive on the bigger wave whitewater, and am totally spent when(if) I finally make it out to green waves. I shouldn't be out there anyway when the surf is bigger, as I'm just learning. I didn't want to be a 'paddlepuss' though, so I had to go out past the break a few times on a few different sessions just to see if I could! Last trip I finally made it out after two days of trying, and sat out there for a while catching breath and observing the green waves, trying to understand their secrets. I finally went for one and shot down the wall so fast I couldn't stand up! I think I was in a closeout part of the wave so it just dumped on top of me and I did 3 or 4 fast rolls glued to my board right in the angriest part of the wave. (I got hit hard with my wooden board only a few trips back and am forming a habit of not letting go of my board. I popped up from a small wave wipeout and a few moments later... SMACK! on top of my head... the broad side of my board.) I absolutely love surfing!!!
nice tip on using hydrodynamics to help the board go under, I'll have to try to get some speed next time I attempt a duckdive.
2018 still watching these amigas.
Thanks, this vid is exactly what I needed it. Very clear and to the point. I can duck dive as of today because of it. ThanksAtonAgain.
Really helpful tip for surfers 👍🌊
wooow el salvador my country 😍 ....you really have good tips
I live in Ontario Canada and I’m going surfing in June at Sauble beach
Awesome and so well explained!! Thanks
Jesus I feel like you just revolutionized my life. Thank you very much to the amigas!
Just learning and in surfers paradise haha... deffinatly something I needed to learn, better then throwing my board over the whitewash!! lol
you are SOOOO didactic!! Very comprehensive explanation, thank you so much!!
Thanks for explaining keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco
Hey,i'm new in surf,thank's for this good practice; have fun in the water;
You make it really easy to understand :)
Great video
Great video. Very helpful!
Great video. Super instruction. Made me subscribe
Thanks so much! Will definitely try this next time i go out :)
One thing that always baffles my mind is how do people see in the water? Or is it just a feeling you trust that helps you navigate through the water? I don't even know how to swim, I've tried and I'm still struggling with it. Long journey ahead, but it's all so fun and exciting! I've got water a phobia that doesn't help with my breathing technique and swimming, but I love being in the water, just not my head. So it's amazing and quite inspiring seeing people who surf and go as far as they can :)
Keep practicing! You'll be swimming and having fun in no time
+Spencer Kochel Thanks, I look forward to it!
Maymunah Khawaja I can open my eyes under water. Usually people just do it, it's not a mental thing and after you do it for a bit it doesn't hurt at all, though it is a little bit blurry
Hmm good point it is not a mental thing lol!
well i cant put it in better words
Now that is what I call a downward duck.
Stunning woman you are Holly.
Thank you so much!! This helped a ton!!
Hey rad video, thanks for the tips! I have a 6'2 and scooping it a little definitely helps! What kind of watch do you have?
I remember opening my eyes in Santa Cruz as a kid. Nowadays I see and feel differently about the crap all in my eye's. Damn, being a kid was fearless.
dude this video helped lots thanks

What an amazing video.
She's a happy surfer girl.
Hey I am a bodyboarder trying to convert to surf boarding But I was wondering what happens when your duck diving a heavy 4ft dumper wave how are you suppose to get under that of you only going 2ft underwater ???
El Salvador- Woohoo!
Thank you so much for your help
if you are do it with your foot you need first the knee and than put your foot with your other leg? or with the same leg?
Best duck dive vid I've seen.
I ride a 6ft10 dhd, I'm 85 kgs 6ft 4 .
Bad habit of using my knee to duck dive, any tips please!?
Or just the same as your vid?
hey scott, using your knee isn't necessarily a bad thing. next time you're out surfing, try using your foot to go deeper!
Wow fast reply!thanks!
try telling my board that ,lol.
Your vids are excellent, just found you and have no idea who you are :O prosurfer? Anyway I really want to surf bigger waves but need to get this duck dive business sorted first asap :-)
I used to have a 7'7" Mini Mal and it was so, so hard to duck dive. Literally impossible when you are only 5'5" hahaha - thank you for the tips though. Might go and buy a smaller board now and won't beat myself up so much because I struggled to duck dive the board.
sorry a surf new here, i'd like to ask.. what if you are using a longer board?
great instructional vid btw :)
i mean, how'd you paddle out easily against waves using a long board. thanks
Jaqen H'ghar The longer the board the more chance you have of eating it and injuring someone behind you.
My dad has a softboard that is 9.8 or 9.6 and I want to know if it is possible doing it and also my dad says you always need speed so you can go easy on it but I usually don't do it 😅
I love this video and it really help.😍😍😍😘😘😘
I've already had some practice duck diving on my bodyboard, I find it easier in the ocean than the pool, but I'm sure duck diving on a surfboard will be different.
Good tips.
I live in the netherlands.... it is a dream for me... but yeah. The Netherlands isnt the best place (I think its a really bad place) to surf. This summer I went to canada and surfed for the first time in Tofino. I loved it and im really sad I cant learn it good.
Wouldn't it take too long to scoop the 6'4" under in time? I have a 6'4" and usually I just bail out but doing that keeps me in the break zone longer. Any tips that might help me?
What technique should you use if you are right in the impact zone?
The bail your board, swim deep and pray your leash doesn't snap technique. 🤣
So if you have a long board, what is the best way of getting past the white wash if you are unable to duck dive?
Kev Stone Turtle rolling is a lot easier than duck diving. Look up turtle rolling
Nice, I've never paid enough attention to how to do this properly ...
I still can't do it properly. But video helps. I'll practice more. Thanks!
What board do you have? Also Nice video!
I have an 8 foot longboard it's brand new how much wax do I need to cover the whole board ? I'm a beginner.
+Lachlan Stokle 4 bottles.
Randsurfer haha i just got back from a surfing trip thats how much i used
best duck dive video :)
thanks
amazing place perfect
If i wanna go even deeper id put my foot into it hahahahahhaha i cant stop laughing
0:30 Tried the speed thing, instructions unclear, trippin balls right now.
nice practice and a nice person to drink coffee with
THIS AMIGA IS DRIVING ME CRAZY
Putting your foot or shin on the tail causes the board to shoot to the surface way too soon under a big wave. Shove the board down with all the speed you can get and level the board out when you get it to depth so it STAYS DOWN. You will be glad you did this ducking a 15-foot -whitewater washingmachine, and even then it's likely still to pick you up and pummel the crap out of you. 🤣 Sometimes, no matter how good you duck, you're better off bailing and swimming deep and pray your leash doesn't snap. 🙏🌊
Back in the day, 40+ years ago, we didn't use "kook cords"; we HAD to duck dive and, with longboards, "go turtle" wrapping your legs around the board and holding on for dear life. It's pretty hectic going turtle under a large wave and have it pick you up and slam you over the falls a few times... don't do it with someone else nearby or someone is likely to get seriously injured. 😳 Get a long, fat cord and anchor it with TWO plugs, one on each side of the stringer, and replace the cord if it gets fin-cuts. Don't risk your safety when you really don't have to, trying to duck large waves. ✝️
1:59 where da show begins lads
I was watching your channel on youtube and thought that it would be really great to introduce your video to Korean surfers
We have lots of people here in Korea that are interested in surfers around the world.
The market is growing rapidly, but we lack in information since surfing is quite new here.
could I translate your video into Korean and introduce it on my RUclips?
