🦆How to Duck Dive in Surfing with a Surfboard?
• Before we get into extra tips and context for duck diving. You have to know that if your board is too buoyant relative to your body weight, you are going to struggle to get it done.
• Not to say that it is impossible but it’s much easier with a smaller board. General rule of thumb is that boards above 7ft are difficult to duck dive, however, it’s not a hard rule.
1️⃣ Push-up while lifting one leg in the air
2️⃣ Keep your other knee on the board while pushing the nose of the board down
3️⃣ Once the nose of the board sinks, keep you other leg in the air to help leverage the board down further
4️⃣ As you reach the peak depth, move back shuffling your weight back on the board
5️⃣ Kick down with your back knee while bringing your chest down to meet the board
6️⃣ Look up and arch your back
• A more advanced version of the duck dive uses your foot instead of your knee. This can help you get the board deeper and is especially useful for bigger or more powerful waves.
