Get hold of Byron or Johnny at the
Bodyboarding Academy (
http://www.thebodyboardingacademy.co.za) which is based in Cape Town.
In the meantime, you should have a read of THE PROJECT: Back to Basics --- this is a series of tutorials aimed at sharing the core knowledge of wave riding which can take you years to learn.
You will find Volume 1 (Wave Dynamics) on page 42 of
issue 08 which we have online:
http://www.sixty40.co.za/sixty40-magazine-alter-ego . Issue 09 will be going online shortly which features Volume 2 (Water Dynamics) and Volume 3 (Lineup Dynamics) is available in Issue 10 which is currently on news stands and can be
purchased online.
You will be learning from one of the best as THE PROJECT is authored by James Moolenschot - one of South Africa's most accomplished big wave bodyboarders (won the 2008 Reef/Science Biggest Wave contest). James is also a Product Designer who has working knowledge of how our equipment operates and the keen attention to detail required in this profession is evident as James manages to successfully convert his knowledge to paper for us.
THE PROJECT is undoubtedly one of my favourite features from the mag and I would recommend this as ESSENTIAL READING for all wave riders, especially for beginner to intermediate but not exclusively.
