Discovered this sport entirely on accident at the beach one day. This is one of the biggest rushes and thrills one can have in the water. Riding on a wave using only one's body.
I saw him beat the surges under him, And ride upon their backs; he trod the water, Whose enmity he flung aside, and breasted The surge most swoln that met him; his bold head 'Bove the contentious waves he kept, and oar'd Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke To the shore, that o'er his wave-worn basis bow'd, As stooping to relieve him: I not doubt He came alive to land. William Shakespeare : The Tempest - II, i.
marks been my idol for years now. im 20 and all i want is to live a simple life like him. just live in a beach town with nice breaks and spend all my free time bodysurfing and freediving and trying to help the environment and keep the earth A beautiful place instead of how bad we fuck it up . hes doin all i want in life and i look u to him so much. Keep the country country guys! worldwide..
i saw him at sandys a few weeks ago and he is amazing.... he rides the wave with such a smooth style, he dolphins like all the way down from the very top, bodyBOARDERS get OUT of his way and he just takes enormous waves its crazy
his style is amazing, he changes the style during each part of the wave, at the perfect time. its so beautiful. Mike stewart is better at doing tricks, but mark is better riding the wave
Rubbish, Cunningham is well respected as the best bodysurfer by all the greats (including Bradshaw) The man has iron balls and a feel for the sea like no one else. He has body surfed in 20 ft Waimeia and Pipeline. Get your facts straight and do some research.
my facts straight?? first of all i didn't even give you facts it was just my opinion. secondly you make it sound like I'm saying cunningham sucks but I'm saying he's great but some people look at him as a bodysurfing god. he has a feel for the sea (especially in Hawaii) because he is a lifeguard. just because you bodysurf 20+ feet waves doesn't make you a great but good. style is what makes someone great. he does have a unique style which makes him great.
Awesome! My Dad looked up to Cunningham. and I learned to Bodysurf from my Dad. I never saw Cunningham Surf until just now, I've been bodysurfing for 16 years now, and I see a lot of my style came from My Dad's influence!
This is a great video. Bodysurfing is an awesome way to surf. I ride surfboards too, but to anyone just standing up, I'd recommend taking out just a pair of fins once in awhile as well.
worlds cleanest nose .... if u know what i mean :D
