Duck dive with bodyboard?

Question

i'm a surfer whos starting snorkeling and scuba, i know that u can only catch a wave in the outside on a bodybord with scuba fins, so i took the chance to try my new scuba fins. but can u duckdive on a bodybord?

Answer 1

it takes some getting used to. just move your knee up on the bodyboard it might help

Answer 2

yes.

by the way, the reefs at del mar are pretty fun to spearfish.

Answer 3

Ya. You have you have to wait until the wave is in front of you and then pull up to get momentum and then push down to push your whole body under the wave. Be shure to lean back when pulling up and lean forward when pushing down.

Answer 4

Yes.... if you plan on bodyboarding alot buy some Viper Swim fins. Scuba fins are to long and flimsy. Viper fins are the best fins ever. You can easily duckdive a bodyboard. You might want to practice on a short small board first though.
