Rob here from Bodyboard Holidays, today shooting from Secret Morocco, one of my favourite locations on the Bodyboard Holiday schedule.
I'm going to talk to you about Advanced paddling to catch more waves.
So, paddling comes in a few different forms. The most basic form is laying on your bodyboard when you're paddling out towards the horizon, and the way that you do that is that you move your weight right off the back of the board. You have your arms totally straight, holding onto each corner of the board, and that enables you to get the whole of your leg from your hip down to the end of your fin under the water and kick with fairly straight legs to keep you moving in a horizontal movement.
You're going to try and minimise splashing, and you're also going to try and minimise the amount that you bend your knees. You're going to try and keep them fairly straight so that you move in a rapid direction.
The next thing that you can do when you're paddling into it, which helps you gain speed, is you might want to paddle with one arm and two legs. That really gets you moving and doesn't tire you out too much, while still giving you good control of your board. The way you do it is you reach forward with your arm just above the water surface, first you plunge in with your thumb side first, and you keep your fingers slightly apart so that you get this nice vortex through your fingers, which catches loads of water. Then you pull your arm under the board, and your arm comes out little finger first, then you plunge it back round again.
The most multifaceted paddling technique is to paddle with both arms and both legs. You will see the best bodyboarders in the world using this technique to catch waves. When I was in Morocco about 15 years ago, I saw the best Moroccan bodyboarder, a guy called Brahim Iddouch, do it so effectively that I then copied it, and I still do it to this day. What you do is you move your weight forward on the board, you move your chin down towards the nose, you hold your board in place with your chin, and then you paddle with both arms, one after another, and you kick your feet. Now, because you're further forward on your board, it means that you will splash a little bit out the back of the board. Don't worry about it, just keep kicking with your feet as hard as you can and keep paddling with your arms.
The secret sauce with this technique, and for all of the paddling techniques, is that you have to keep your board flat. The reason you have to keep your board flat is that it has to flow on the water surface because each time you paddle, you're flowing smoothly forward, and that's going to enable you to either get out back quickly, and it's going to enable you to catch a wave quickly.
So, take those tips, use them when they're at their most useful. For me, paddling out with my weight off the back of the board is the best. Moving through the water with one arm and both legs makes me accelerate quickly. But the ultimate for catching waves, for me, is two arms and two legs. It takes some practice to nail, but it's worth it. Get out there and give it a try!
