I'm so HAPPY that I have Joined your "Family".... It really is Sad to See the Litter on the BEACH because of the "World" not caring.... I saw a Couple of Seals at Houtbay 2 day's Ago... that have thing's around their Necks... I want to contact OCN... Naudé has been down here before helping Seal's.. but before we Contact Him We Should Check to see How Many of the Seals are affected... It's Bad for Our Marine Life.. Thank You that You Guys are so Awesome in picking it Up.. I'm in Jnb.. but really want to help with Nature conservation even for the penguin's..... 🌟❤🌟
Reach out and ask people to help. Or just go do a small part. We have done this a few times at our local beaches and it’s great for the environment!! Any little bit helps…
Hey Iain, I just subscribed to your channel. I really appreciate you picking up the litter. I always do that whenever I am at the beach also, I just cant walk by it and do nothing. Where I live in California a ton of tourists come over the summer and or weekends and I've noticed they have a much greater propensity to litter. Whenever I catch them doing this in the act I call them out. It really pisses me off. Sometimes their friend or someone will say sorry and pick it up or sometimes I'll end up picking it up. Last summer I was walking down some beach stairs to one of my local spots and one of these tourists dropped a beer bottle and it shattered all over the stairs. He just kept on walking, really grinded my gears because kids runs up and down those stairs and could easily have cut their feet. Anyway, I gave him an earful and his friend apologized and helped me clean up the glass. Anyways, great video man; appreciate your message on pollution. Keep our beaches beautiful.
Thanks so much man. Keep doing that and showing people we can all do our part. The world will just be cleaner and we will enjoy it way more. Well done for playing your part and doing what’s right 💪🏼
When you said baboons I thought you actually mean that there were a couple of troublemaking people hahaha, but no they were actually baboons creating a mess in such a beautiful beach.
I have a Tamega Bat Tail back in the day and for some reason it was easier for me to do rollos and get air off the lip. As far as the mob of babboons be careful my friend they carry grenades jk, I totally agree with you and that’s a great analogy be the change you want to see. In Oceanside were I live there’s thousands of visitors every summer and I’ve gotten very agitated by the trash left behind, so every time I go out I take a trash bag and clean up, others see it and I hope it inspires them to do the same, the beach can’t clean up after us, anyways Iain love your spirit and your shredding.
Thanks so much man. Good to be helping where we can ask everyone is to blame, we need to pick up and do what we can. Oceanside is awesome man. Been there a few times. 🙌🏼
I prefer the crescent, more controlled and can hold in the big surf, the bat tail just gets a bit uncontrollable out at big surf, still fun to use though 🤙🤙🤙
Yeah I am interested to see what the bat does in some bigger waves. Will definitely keep trying and testing to see how it goes. I love the crescent too.
Was waiting for this one! Really excited for the next video on the bat tail to help make a final decision on buying bat tail or sticking to crescent. Maybe having one of each for different conditions? We'll see!
That’s exactly what I want to test. If that is an option and I can do one for certain conditions it would be awesome. But if that’s an option I’ll let you know for sure.
As a heavy rider I prefer bat-tail. More speed and surface area in the water. Def took some time to getting use to it. Had to push that rails hard to get it to stop from sliding out.
Hey mate I love bat tails . I usually ride a 42” crescent but now I mostly ride 41.5 - 41” battails . I’m no where nearly your level of riding but I love these boards in sucky waves where I can do more pocket moves because of the looseness of them . Also well done on cleaning up the rubbish ! sick session! 🤙🏽
Just got back into it, have a single stringer 42 and the Cresent tail always feels/felt faster on bigger longer faces but my old bat tail got me under moree faces then any board. It was a an old bz that I got for cheap from a friend.
Needing a new bat-tail...I’ll be watching with interest for sure! Great environmental message brother 💚 us watermen spend more time than most crossing that line between land and sea..we need to surf and protect 💙
Good stuff mate I always pick up any plastic or rubbish on my beach cant stand the thought of a turtle or bird eating it we are lucky to love in a beautiful place but some places are so bad it's hard to have any hope Thabks for your videos I watch them all I have tried many of your tips and am having a lot of fun progressing and getting better- I just want to get decent air 1 time haha 👍
Awesome to hear about both of those. Stoked with everyone doing their part to clean our environment. Also keep pushing the boogie. Stoked you’re enjoying it more and progressing.
Jip young SA bodyboarder lost his life there couple of years ago. Shark activity dropped though due to myriad of environmental issue but mostly due to orcas patrolling the coast and eating only the liver of great white sharks. Ive paddled in a couple of times and seen that dreaded silhouette in the back line.
Yes there are sharks there. We have a dedicated team that watch us while we are surfing and let us know if there are sharks around. They are there 365 days a year. Lucky to have them but still a dangerous spot.
Have no idea man. It was a mess though though so threw a lot of the stuff away that the monkeys destroyed. No number or anything on. Very strange they left it and also where they left it.
Funny. If you go back to the 2005 to 2010 everyone used bat tail, for big or small waves. For bigger people like me (not tall but rather aerodynamic) bat tail rides better. I have been using bat since 2005, changed to crescent because they disappear and got back to bat tail again now. In my case bat rides better and use the crescent for bigger and hollower waves. Being riding more than 30 years, I have seen many things. Sometimes is just fashion. Teach baboons to clean up their mess 😅
Hahaha. If they could be taught I am sure someone would have already 😂😂 yeah I think each to their own. If you feel better on a bat tail then ride the bat tail. If you feel better on a crescent, ride a crescent. And that’s what is so cool about our sport. Nobody can say their way is better than anyone else. We all just here to enjoy the ocean and get barrels and ramps.
Hahaha. I’m not leaving my camera set up on the beach for the monkeys or any passers by to have a look at or grab. Definitely don’t have the money to replace that.
That’s Dan Sivess logo. He is the custom shaper that works out of the Indo factory. He makes all the custom boards for most of the pros around the world.
Not at all. Mostly just a change in how you ride when on the face of the wave. That was my first time back on a bat tail after a good couple years so will take some time for me to figure it out completely.

possible video idea: how to paddle out efficiently. I'd love to hear your tips and tricks for paddling out. Love the videos, keep up the great work.
It’s coming. I do have a video in the pipeline but I need some drone footage.

Haha, yeah man! they are such a pain...

Thanks Richard for cleaning up the beach, you guys got a little bodyboarding community going on in south Oceanside 😎
Nice board and awesome reverse airs! Love Bat tails too but I have to take shorter boards. It feels more steady but a bit harder to maneuver.
Yeah it would have slightly less foam too so might be a bit harder to ride.
Thx for sharing this, here on Westcoast Algarve more and more folk are picking up the rubbish as well. 😎👍
Esky in Australia Budd 🤙Surfed my Stealth Bat tail Today.. Good times..I agree with Ur rail comments...💪👍From Yamba Oz 🎸🏄
Superb video again Iain your an inspiration in and out of the water thanks again.
I prefer the crescent, more controlled and can hold in the big surf, the bat tail just gets a bit uncontrollable out at big surf, still fun to use though 🤙🤙🤙

good on ya for helping to keep this world clean and beautiful! looking forward to seeing some footage of the bat tail from shore. =]
Thanks man. Just doing my part. That will come very soon!
it's a real pleasure to watch your video thank you 🌊🤙🏼
Appreciate that 🙏🏼
Nice day at Caves🔥
It was very fun!

Agreed that it would benefit you for sure as a bigger guy. We have one coming next year. Really excited about it 🤙🏼
Nice. I haven't tried a bat for years. Last time I did it felt like a different beast. Maybe again one day. As always, enjoying the vids man 🤙🏼
Stoked man. Ja it is so damn different but hoping to get a few more sessions on that one soon!
Board looks siiiiiiick 🔥
Thanks bro 🤙🏼
Great vid thank u for cleaning up the community love the vids
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Wonderful video and great waves.....I'm interested to hear about the bat tail board.
Will keep you updated.
Hey mate I love bat tails . I usually ride a 42” crescent but now I mostly ride 41.5 - 41” battails . I’m no where nearly your level of riding but I love these boards in sucky waves where I can do more pocket moves because of the looseness of them . Also well done on cleaning up the rubbish ! sick session! 🤙🏽
Epic man. I think if I get another one I will possibly order a smaller board in the bat as they do feel a bit bigger.
AMAZING 🤙🏾🙌🏽🤟🏾
Nice vidio bro ur so good 🤘
🙏🏼
Video
That board looks soo sick!
It felt sooo good too.
Is that color/design gonna be availible? Also would love a video on footwork for drop ins!
Just got back into it, have a single stringer 42 and the Cresent tail always feels/felt faster on bigger longer faces but my old bat tail got me under moree faces then any board. It was a an old bz that I got for cheap from a friend.
Also me and my son have a rule of cleaning up anywhere we camp ours or not! Keep up the good work
That colour way is available at the moment. Stoked you’re getting back into it and cleaning any chance you get. So epic to hear 🙌🏼🙌🏼
7'41" Epic Shot!!!
Thanks bro.
Needing a new bat-tail...I’ll be watching with interest for sure!
Great environmental message brother 💚 us watermen spend more time than most crossing that line between land and sea..we need to surf and protect 💙
That’s a sick saying, “Surf and Protect.” Will keep you updated man.
Que buen video brother alucinante 🤙😎👐
Gracias.
respect for the cliff clean! When u back to Portugal I will invite u for a few beer's for this :D keep rocking this waves champ :D
Haha. Sounds awesome. Thanks man. 🙏🏼🤙🏼
Love all your videos mate! But, the thumbnail on this one had me thinking it was a pizza delivery vid 😁
At least I kept you guessing 😂😂
Come to Gran Canaria again
When I can travel it’s on my list!
Good stuff mate I always pick up any plastic or rubbish on my beach cant stand the thought of a turtle or bird eating it we are lucky to love in a beautiful place but some places are so bad it's hard to have any hope
Thabks for your videos I watch them all I have tried many of your tips and am having a lot of fun progressing and getting better- I just want to get decent air 1 time haha 👍

No Wax on your boards Ian ?
I am as slick as a Seal and slide straight off without it 😂
🤣🤣🤣 no I have wax on but only the top side. And the wax I use don’t really show too much.
I love u and all ur videos
❤️ thanks
A chilly bin for the kiwi's 🤙🏾 awesome clean up bro. Did you dk with it and how does it feel for dk?
No DK yet unfortunately but I will get on that when I can again.
Sweet vid bro. What ear plugs you use?
Will send you the link below:

Good brother
Really great vid man! Do you ever get worried surfing by yourself?
Absolutely petrified about surfing alone especially there! But there was a few guys who joined me and left. It’s one of those things I guess.
Thanks bru! Good to know I'm not the only one
Amazing amazing footage not many people can experience this
One question is there sharks in this area. Lol 😂

Do u know whose cooler box it was, cause its wierd for someone to just leave the area with thier possesions still up there especially with the baboons
Have no idea man. It was a mess though though so threw a lot of the stuff away that the monkeys destroyed. No number or anything on. Very strange they left it and also where they left it.
Hey bro! Out of curiosity do you sell any of your old boards? Desperate need for a non water logged board but tight on cash since dam covid!
I do not sell old boards. It’s against my contract unfortunately.

And about the experience? Now, wich do u prefer? CT or BT?
I don’t know yet. That’s my first time riding a bat tail since I was 12. So I need a few more tries before I can say for sure.
@@iaincampbell_ ok.... I'll wait for the next videos.... thks
What would is a more hectic wave heavy pipe or sunset reef
Which Pipe and Which Sunset are we talking about?
next time you go caves set up a camera from the cliff. Will be a sick angle but hope no monkeys get it haha
Hahaha. I’m not leaving my camera set up on the beach for the monkeys or any passers by to have a look at or grab. Definitely don’t have the money to replace that.
Any way you could hide it or is it to open. Ps I’m from Australia
Too open and too many peaks to get a good shot. Just be too worried about someone taking it or the baboons destroying it.
I’ve been trying some airs at this one spot I go to but it isn’t a barreling wave, does it need to barrel in order to be able to launch?
Not exactly but it makes it a lot easier if you have a lip to hit.
Hi would a bat tail still work OK for a beginner
I think so! It’s a lot looser in the tail meaning that the board may be a bit harder to control but once you figure it out it’s all smooth sailing!
@@iaincampbell_
Cool thanks , can't wait to get out
did you have ear plugs in??
Yes. I’ve started wearing them for surfers ear.
What’s the x on the back of your board? I’ve seen so many pros with it and I have no idea what it is
That’s Dan Sivess logo. He is the custom shaper that works out of the Indo factory. He makes all the custom boards for most of the pros around the world.
Nice vlog,that wave looks nice. I read that bat tail is nice for dropknee. Is that true? Keep going Bro!
Haven’t tried it yet. I will be riding a few waves in the next video so will let you know how it goes.
@@iaincampbell_ nice! Thank you :)
Johh I'd definitely jamm Caves with you😂 need to learn a lot so it'll be sick
Haha. Come cruise bru.
yeeeeeewwww
Something wrong with your car bru, steering wheel is on the wrong side.
😂😂😂 come back to the real world and not your American Dream 😉
Chilli bin
Is tricks different on a bat tail so like a backflip is there a different technique or is it the same
Not at all. Mostly just a change in how you ride when on the face of the wave. That was my first time back on a bat tail after a good couple years so will take some time for me to figure it out completely.
Have u heard of infoamed
Oh yes of course. Done a few articles with them.
My dad runs infoamed.I love wacthing your videos to tutorials it helps me a lot with my bodyboarding 🤙
