Cory Taylor: Top two tips for body surfing

Current World Ironman Champion and Nutri-Grain Iron Series Ironman, Cory Taylor, shares his top two tips for body surfing.

Current World Ironman Champion and Nutri-Grain Iron Series Ironman, Cory Taylor, loves body surfing and is an absolute gun at it. Here he shares his top two tips for successfully body surfing a wave into shore.

Tip 1: Kick, kick, kick

  • To be successful at body surfing you need a strong kick
  • Get your hips up and kick as hard as you can

Tip 2: Keep your head down

  • Keep your head down the whole time you are on the wave
  • Chin to your chest and try to stay as streamlined as possible
  • As soon as you lift your head up or down, your body position drops which will cause you to fall off the back of the wave
