P5 is a very fun wave at Copacabana in Rio De Janeiro – Brazil. I especially like the super slow-motion used in the video… very nicely done. Watch it below…

Fishman: Mike Kasic
The idea I had when I started my blog [www.mylifeinwater.com], was to create a platform where people doing non-mainstream or unique things IN water would be featured. To some degree, I think I’ve managed to create such a platform and I am still inspired by the things I see others do.
I first saw/heard of Mike Kasic when I watched Keith Malloy’s bodysurfing movie; Come Hell or High Water. In the movie there is a short feature on this interesting guy who lives in Montana and swims down the river in Yellowstone National Park. Specifically, Mike bodysurfs standing waves in the river, swims through rapids, eddy’s out and basically runs whitewater without a board.
Watch this beautiful BBC video featuring Mike and his unique perspective…

Thomas VanMelum has emerged as one of the most interesting characters in bodysurfing. He’s part of the Wedge Crew and as passionate about life as he is about bodysurfing. Check out this video of him below and visit his website at:

Think this one will is sure to cause some heated debate on the Surfing Forums…

Scanning through a folder, I found these Paipo images.
Unfortunately I do not recall whom to credit for these.
Swimming underwater…
Today, 22 March 2012, is International Water Day.
My mate, Pieter De Kock, and I regularly swim at our local public pool. In fact, we regularly swim underwater at our public pool. So, today we celebrated International Water Day by filming ourselves practicing.
We usually do sets of 25m lengths, with sets of 50m lengths inbetween. Just recently, we’ve been pushing it to 75m’s and the goal is to do 100m’s before the season ends.
Swimming in this fashion has become something I really enjoy and look forward to whenever I’m not in water.
You should try it…
Yes, this is a Painting!

Surf de peito
So yesterday I scored some good waves with my bodysurfing buddy Kieran, and Adrian Tregoning a mate of mine who is an all round Waterman. Adrian is also an ace Photographer and took a few shots of Kieran and I bodysurfing. The waves had started out clean and beautifully glassy, but it all deteriorated as the morning wore on.
Still, Adrian managed to get a few good shots… considering he was shooting from the beach (it is not exactly easy spotting bodysurfers in the water). See the images below and be sure to pop round to Adrian’s website which features whitewater kayaking and paddling stories that will keep you riveted > http://adrian.playak.com/
Some bodysurfing love…
I really like this fine painting by Paul Miller. Visit Fine Art America to see more of Paul’s Art and also to purchase some prints.
While we’re on the subject of bodysurfing…
Here are a couple of Bodysurfing Videos on YouTube, featuring some of the finest Bodysurfers in the World. Enjoy!
