Nice video. I want to see a video with some scientific comparisons on flippers and also kicking style. You could do it in a pool, band around your waist with a cord to a scale to measure force. a hanging type fruit scale on its side would work. Also a speed test comparison of fins would be interesting with multiple people testing multiple fins on bodyboards. Cheers

Sorry, paid no attention to your coaching. I was too busy mind-surfing the waves behind you. 😁
I kid! Great tips, look forward to putting these to use.

[@bodyboard_holidays]

😂 Glad you found the advice useful (and you liked the waves in the background 😜)

[@420Jon69]

When I would lean forward and fins out of water, I notice the board would just start going sideways instead of forward down the line where I’m trying to go

[@bodyboard_holidays]

You need to keep you inside leg engaged with the face of the wave. This acts as an extension of your rail and help you keep your line. Give it a try 🤙

@@bodyboard_holidays thanks for the tips! Will try it next session

[@danoenco9487]

Thanks for the good gouge. Do quad channel designs add much speed compared to dual? Currently riding VS Dave Winchester model, dual stringer, surlyn mesh dual channel.

[@bodyboard_holidays]

🙌🏼 It’s certainly fast! 🔥

Hey Rob...do we engage our core, tighten our stomach at any time during the ride?...thanks

[@bodyboard_holidays]

Hey, it's Alex here. Good question.Although we may not consciously think about doing it, there will be a degree of tightening your core to allow all of your muscles to work in harmony. 👌

I love the speed but must work on using the flex to get the best.
