First off, practice pulling up or pushing up your legs with your arms from prone position, then putting both knees in the middle or just below the middle of the board. After repeatedly practicing on sand, hit the shore break or some ankle busters and practice just propping up on the knees to get muscle memory going. Then once you are good enough to do that on bowling waves, try slowly sweeping your left or right fin out of the water and slap the board just in line with the leash plug.
i bodyboard on small waves in Maryland and ill try to drop in, but ill get caught on the top of the wave. the waves are no higher than one metre and it throws me over with the breaking wave instead of going down the face. any tips?
Do you understand the clock? 12.. 3... 6... 9... The clock is used for getting into a wave as well as riding it, it is important to see yourself dropping in at 10:45, 11:15 angle/ approach. Using the clock is a beginner/advance tool. If it's wind then dropping in at an angle is a must.
needs more coverage of the paddle-in. So hard to see what it looks like BEFORE catching wave. Positioning etc. It's equally hard with surfing videos as well. Positioning and paddle shouldn't be underrated
you want to choose from any kind of fins specifically for bodyboard. they're short to give you maneuverability and wide enough that you still have kick to push yourself. They should be stiff enough but have a soft pocket so you feet feel comfortable.
This video has nothing to do with catching waves. Doesn't say anything about the lift you feel, when to dive forward to actually catch the wave or anything. It only talks about holding the board and left/right breaking waves. Very uninformative.
This is actually one of the best vid's I have seen for beginners. Thanks. I'm tryin to learn how to go left or right and this one is good.

I quite like the look of body-boarding and am tempted to take it up.
So did you? The suspense is killing me.

I recommend buying hydro fins, they are firmer so get fin socks but they are a fast fin.

I would say lean forwards when you're at the crest of the wave. if that doesn't work, try paddling and kicking harder

How necessary is it to have a board? I have a body
can I use snorkeling fins for bodyboarding?
no, they're too long. you want short and wide fins
One came off :( Time to invest on some wide fins. What would be the reason I would want to buy wide fins?

Thanks for the info :) Time to buy some bodyboard fins and some fin leashes
I don't use fins😂
yes
my weight is 200pounds.
can I ride it?
im 190 and I do just fine. You just have to get a bigger bodyboard for more buoyancy
