Air Speed

Surfing the other day in junkie waves there was a guy out on a surf mat, he was ruling it! So I thought I'd share some air speed.

Got the bellyboard and hand gun out the other day for some wedgey pit diving and barrel hunting, still stoked at the drops and speed these things generate, although I'm still digging sand out of various crevices it just shouldnt be in! If you havent doned a pair of fins, and tried one of these ply craft out, your missing out! Best bit, the kits cheap to buy, and doest take up any space, so theres no excuse not to have it in the car and score an unexpected surf session.

Absolutley thoroughly agree Dave, we were given two by Sally Parkin from the Original Surfboard Co. I have not smiled so much while surfing in a very long time. I was amazed by how easy it was to get covered. So much fun and a permanent part of the car and opens up opportunities for high tide mayhem!!

Maybe we should organise a bellyboard flash mob?

Lefts...

I love my rights, but sometimes I have sessions where no matter how hard I try I can only go left, this was one of those.

Football and car racing don't demand that one lives by lunar cycles, river movement, and global wind migration. Surfing does! And for the wave-riding rhythm of life I am thankful.
