Working hard to figure out spinning as demonstrated vs hand dragging, so this helps. Thanks
Stoked to hear that.
Thanks Iain! I needed a refresher to tighten up my spinners. I never really thought about which leg I lift first and that little wind up micro turn towards the beach you do right before you spin on some of these really seems to help your momentum.
Love this channel ...well explained from a kick ass bodyboarder! Still trying to bodyboard at 43 and loving it and these videos have really helped!👍
Awesome that you’re still in the water man. Thanks for the kind words and trust me there is way more to come. Welcome to the boogie community.
Thanks for another great instructional video. Glad to see you back out in the water Aloha
Thanks Diego. Stay safe.
Thanks Ian, great tutorial like always. I've been body boarding about a year now and your videos have really helped me along the way. Lekker, from Hermanus.
Thanks my bru. So stoked to hear that 🙌🏼
Thanks for the video man. I've always been the type who struggles with forward spins, and had no Idea how much I've been doing wrong till this video. I'm also stoked to see you have a clip from what I'm pretty sure is fence, one of my local breaks. All the best with this lock down thing from Port Elisabeth.🤙
Stoked to hear that man. Keep practicing and you’ll get it. 🙌🏼
Thank you Champion! 🫵😊
these videos are so helpful!! Thank You!!
Thank you for coming along for the ride 😉🤙🏼
Thank you Ian for all these free courses , you are awsome Man :)
Absolute pleasure. 🤙🏼
thanks so much iain !
Thank you man. I really appreciate this video as I'm struggling with this basic move.
Well hope this helps you get better bru 🤙🏼
great video dude!
Holy shit I was just lifting both legs at the same time thank you!
Glad that helps 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thanks bru for this
Hi Iain, my problem with forward spin is that i always lose momentum and end up digging the nose in the face of the wave or just stalling and getting behind the wave. I struggle a lot to start the rotation
So don’t worry about the rotation. Remember the head movement and focus on trying to get your weight as centred as you can on the board. Once you find that part you will be able to do it bru 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Hi. I'm facing exactly the same problem. Did you figure out what you were doing wrong?
Yes ! I was not disengaging the rail and not putting my weight forward enough
Whats the disengaging the rail part? Maybe this is my issue. I tend to dig in a rail and be far forward on my board before anything else. Does iniating the forward spin come before all that somehow?
@@apolopena disengage the rail means to engage the flat of the board chest tall push down on the other side of the board to make it flat.
Well explained Iain will be putting this into practice when i next go bodyboarding.👍 now going to watch it again.cheers my friend 🌊👍
Thanks for the support. Hope you’re getting in the water soon Nigel.
gracias portus conocimentos Dios bendiga😎🤙🌊
Great stuff
I'm 6'3 and have been pulling em off with bad technique, kinda looks like a helicopter crashing !!! Can't wait to apply your new pointers broski thanks a million!! Everyone needs to subscribe to your page for the vids alone, now that your sharing techniques it a given..
Stoked to hear that. No matter the size you can make it happen bru 🤙🏼
Very good...thks
Your vids are awesome thank you so much
Glad you like them!
So so helpful! 🤙🏽
Glad to hear it. 🤙🏼
Nice! I’ll try lifting the outside leg first and see if it makes my spins feel smoother. It does look smooth when you do them. I’ve been doing spins for years but you don’t know what you don’t know.
Would be interested to see if it works for you. Hope it gets you whipping them 😉🤙🏼
Excelente a legenda em português!! Ótimo vídeo!
Obrigado 🤙🏼
Thanks I will try it- I am a heavy tall guy that always have struggle with spinning maneuvers- I think what’s most difficult is to center my body on the board - I tend to move my weigh forward before the spin and it really slow me down- I will try to start the rotation first and then center my weight. It sounds so easy but seriously I’ve been bodyboarding for 35 year and it’s annoying not able to spin on a consistent basis. 😭 Thanks for the outside leg tip will definitely try it
I REALLY hope this will help you. Please keep me updated on how it does. Remember to try keep the momentum and use your head to manipulate the spin. Good luck and looking forward to hearing the successes 😉🤙🏼
Hey Iain sick vid, my mate and I have always been confused which leg goes first for going left or right on the wave so cheers for clearing that up. Would you be up for doing a vid on carving into a reverse spin? It always looks so dope. Thanks again.
I did do a reverse video a while ago just to talk about it. If you want to go through and check that out it may help. Otherwise let me know and I’ll put that on my list of videos to make soon. Thanks for reaching out and stay safe 🤙🏼
Iain thank you for all the effort you put into this channel 🤙
Thanks for your constant support bru 🙏🏼
Well done bru. These clips are so lekka. West Coast looks like it was ridiculously good too ^^ Looking forward to some more updates ;) Take care man.
Thanks man. I’m hoping to drop that clip on Monday afternoon. Turn on those notifications 🤣🤣😉🤙🏼
@@iaincampbell_ Locked and loaded pal :) Cant wait.
Speed, speed, speed.
I've seen some local dudes here do the forward spin right when they drop in as they pick up momentum. It's a slick move.
Wow that’s so rad. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Tough price to pay if it doesn’t work. But don’t always need speed to do this move. All you need is momentum.
Great video! Could you please do a video on technical riding, or different board shapes and innovations - how they affect the board and riders control?
Thanks Timor. Let me see what I can do. I haven’t ridden any boards that are technically innovating to the boogie market. But I will try make something cool and discuss it.
Cheers legend, I meant to say features and materials etc styles/conditions for them
YES been hanging for this one. Awesome video. Thank you. Do you do a quick S turn to get into the spin before you flatten out your board or do you give a quick kick with your inside fin to throw the tail?
Yes I do the S turn sometime as a set up but it’s all about feeling really. If you feel you need to do that then do it. But it’s all about the inside foot regardless.
Chilllinggg 🤙🤙🌊
Hello again Iain !!
Important question for me:
How critical/important is to cross the legs when spinning ??
I manage to spin right and left but I don’t find easy to cross the legs when doing it , i want to do the technique right. So how important is to actually cross the legs ?? 🤔 thanks in advance man what a privilege to been able to have a Sensei like you answering questions 😉🔝
Haha. Hey man. It’s not critically important but when you do cross your legs you’re bringing your weight to the centre of the board. This helps for weight distribution and will help you to stay in a “ball” and spin faster. But if you can manage without doing that then it’s all good. As I have mentioned before. If you find something that works for you then keep doing it.
Thanks Iain i cant wait till i can try the move when the waves get better :D
You can do it! Excited to hear if it helped 🤙🏼
@@iaincampbell_ the wind changede yesterday nigth so i mwent down for a short session and wow i can tell you it really helped improve even tho it was only 3 foot waves but thank you so much for helping me improve 🌊🌊
Shot for the video can you please do a video on the ARS much appreciated🤙
Unfortunately that will take some time. I hardly ever do ARS so it’s going to take me forever to film.
Hi Iain. Thanks for the video. Is it acceptable to give a little boost with the fin as the outside leg is brought out the water?
Yes but that will make you spin the other way. The idea is to keep that inside foot in the water to initiate the spin...
Can you do an ARS tutorial please?? Love your contect btw c:
It’s coming I promise.
Hi Ian. I’m curious how I should order the maneuvers. Im finally comfortable enough to do bottom turns and carves as well as control my speed. I want to know which maneuvers u think will be easiest so I can learn them first
Rolls are usually the easiest to learn after you’ve gotten the bottom turn and carves down.
Spins are more about keeping weight centred and people often struggle a bit with that.
Those were perfect directions, you should've said hand drag like when you're a youngster
Lol
Hahaha. That’s what I meant🤣🤣 yeah I loved a hand drag or two when I was younger. 🙌🏼🤙🏼
4:19 Can't pay attention to Step 1 with that sick empty wave out back lol!
🤣🤣🤣
Hi Iain, your tutorial videos are good, we always need advice but if you could add video sequences while you explain, I think it would be better, to have a good vision of what you are explaining. For example, starting the rotation with the head, shoulders, arms and legs, a video would be much more explanatory, even if it is on the floor of your garage 😊😊😊
Thank you
Thank you
There are video examples later in the video. It’s all shot in slow motion to explain everything 🤷🏼♂️
@@iaincampbell_, I tell you about this kind of tutorial 😊😊
ua-cam.com/video/D-rEPWYR70c/v-deo.html
Hi Ian I always have trouble doing the full 360. I get 180 around but then can’t finish the move. Any tips to do the move all the way around?
Maybe get some video and analyse your head movement. What happens sometimes is the rider will get stuck because they don’t keep looking over the shoulder…
Perfectly explained yew
Thanks man.
So I was bodyboarding today in ideal waves for spins, and my friend was nailing them and even on occasion going straight from the forward to reverse spin . My technique seems similar to what you demonstrated except my back gets a sharp pain everytime I try the movement . Is it a technique fault or should i do special exercises to strengthen my back?
Definitely try to strengthen your back. That shouldn’t be happening.
Howsit boet, thank you for all your vids! Could I please get your advice on what size board I should get? Im quite tall (1.92m) and weigh 82kgs, which could you recommend? I feel like I cannot move properly and feel very heavy on my board, thanks bud!🤘🏽
What’s up Karl. So you should be riding a 42-43 inch board. I would say look to go more towards 43 just because of your height. That will allow you to move a lot easier and the extra foam will help you to float a lot better. I am 182cm and 76kgs and ride a 42 inch board. I love the extra foam to ride on but I think this will help you a lot.
@@iaincampbell_ brilliant thank you so much man! ❤️ keep on doing what youre doing!
Thanks. But here's some advice: I'm a teacher and I know that someone just standing there and telling you something turns your brain off immediately. Some practical clips or graphics or an actual physical demonstration edited into the lecture would be an awesome way to present this. And then people who may not fully understand what you're talking about could have a visual clue.
Thanks for the tips! But I think you need to watch the full video…
@@iaincampbell_ it's a great video. I need to work on my patience sometimes. Thanks for the tips tho. I'm practicing.
Watch it till the end.
I always struggle when I’m halfway done with the spin the tail of my board digs into the wave sometimes otherwise if that doesn’t happen I can do it
You may not be pulling yourself up high enough in the board so that your weight is centred. Try going a bit further forward 🤙🏼
@@iaincampbell_ Yes champ, I lack this too, also the outside leg movement first. Keep working all this kind of stokey shit out for us! So we enjoy sooner, quicker and more and don't have to eat it that much! 🤙🏽
Hey! Thanks for this. I struggle with my arms. Any recommendations? I know this video is old but I hope I get an answer anyways! 😅
What do you mean about you struggling with arms?
@@iaincampbell_ I mean, at the moment of turning, I should put my left arm straight if the wave goes that direction, right ?
Please watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/dK_4ZL7ZeHo/v-deo.html
@@iaincampbell_ thank you!
Lain I am doing it but I am falling behind the wave and missing it, what do I fix? (I can only ride it on whitewash because my waves can’t barrel
You’re either sliding too far forward or you are not centred enough to the point where it spins in the middle of the board.
@@iaincampbell_ it worked
@@iaincampbell_ thanks!
I'm much more comfortable going right on the wave, but for some reason I feel like I can forward spin easily when I go left. The contrary applies to the reverse spin. Easier to do when I go right, instead of left. Any thoughts on this non-sense?
Haha. I really don’t know man. I think you just need to keep trying to be honest. It may feel weird but after trying it more often you will get it.
i had the same issue, just keep practicing doing both types of spins on both lefts and rights and you’ll get there eventually
I have the same issue but opposite. What I do for all tricks is just practice and try the trick whenever it’s possible, and if you keep at it you’ll get it soon enough!👊
Hi! I'm going to the beach right now, I'm on th train😅. The waves are mini today . Is it possible to spin in a small wave?? Hug!
Yea of course. Just make sure you have enough speed and stay centred on the board 😉🤙🏼 have fun.
I try to move with centered and flat bored but I just can’t I need advice
If you want I do private lessons online if you want to join in on that?
I do all this steps but my spin still not good is because the board size
Maybe if it is too small. Bigger boards will be much easier to do spins.
@@iaincampbell_ thanks mate💙🌊💦
@@mustaphagdr9694 hhhh khask tamiga o dor
@@rayss38 yes Bro gt one of the best boards
Is it harder to do spins if your bodyboard has deep channels? Thx!
It depends on shape of the board and what depth we are talking. Boards with a wider top section will be easier to ride and do spins while more parallel rails will be faster but harder to spin.
Thanks, Iain@@iaincampbell_
Hey ian can i send u my vids so u can see if i am doing it good and some tips and pointers? U help me a lot with your vids
For sure you can bru. Check me out on Instagram and I’ll be glad to help where I can 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Cool
Is this possible in jersey shore waves
If there is enough push on the wave for sure 👌🏼
@@iaincampbell_ thank man
Sometimes putting your hand in the water to spin can help
That is true however, on this channel I would love to teach proper techniques and that’s what this video is for 😉✌🏼🙏🏼
🎉
love u iain my middle name is iain also where in south africa are u from
I was born in Durban but living in Cape Town.
@@iaincampbell_ i lived bothe of thoese places for 7 years now i live in australia
I killed an aggressive ant once.
Am I the only one who doesn't enjoy forward spin, breaks immersion, kills energy, why would I do it instead of cutback or something?
Probably one of the few. It often flows on the wave but all entitled to our own opinions.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@iaincampbell_ Wow thanks for replying, good luck with your future competitions
Thank you 🙏🏼
for some reason I’ve been able to barrel roll but i cant spin
Practice, practice, practice 😉
First
Awesome stuff. I am gonna try it out at urbnsurf 🤞
Yeewww 🙌🏼
How do I not look like a kook in my first bodyboard competition. I want to do one, but man I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of these Hawaiians😂. I’m a decent rider( ride moderate pipeline days), but I don’t have any tricks or style.
Just go and do it without worrying about the outcome. No expectations means no disappointment. Remember why you started bodyboarding, to have fun. Go enter the event and enjoy yourself.
