I hate bodyboarders.
That is one of the stupidest statements I have ever heard. Wht the hell does it matter what way a person rides a wave, as long as they’re having a good time and not getting in the way of other people (take note kayakers*). Surely a barrel is a barrel regardless of what position you’re in when you’re in it? Surfers may as well be lying down for half of their backside barrels they’re pigdogging so hard.
I’ve gotten to meet and know a good few lidders on my travels (or more usually theirs) and my respect for them has just increased each time. They’re just looking for waves like everyone else.
I’ve had the pleaseure of hanging out with Danny Boy Skajarowski (hope I got that right) a good bit and as a result have more shots of him than most other bodyboarders.
So here’s to all wave riders no matter what way you ride them*
*Kayakers in general have no control over their water craft and are therefore excluded from my almost all-embracing hug.
