Tap the Ocean's Energy-Be the Waves
Bodysurfing, or wave gliding, as the ancient Polynesians described it, is a beautiful form of meaningful play-a therapeutic activity that allows you to develop a love for the ocean and connect with nature in a transformative way.
As the purest form of surfing, bodysurfing is arguably the best way to gain confidence in the ocean and learn how to tap into its energy, simply because there is nothing separating the bodysurfer from the wave.
Bodysurfing was humankind's original method of riding waves, and prior to the invention of the surf leash in the 1970s, was once a prerequisite skill for any surfer swimming after a lost board post-wipeout.
Bodysurfing is a great way to build ocean awareness, as it teaches you how to read waves, how to dive beneath them, how to catch them, how to move around other surfers, and how to identify rip currents and other potential hazards.
Becoming the best surfer you can be (for me anyways) starts with bodysurfing.
