that spot is looking pretty shallow! very nice and clean for what looks like a sandbreak. always wanted my own water proof cam but it must be a vid cam that i can mount on my board, really want the people that havent bodyboarded before to kind of see it from my eyes or point of view. one thing pics cant do is do justice to how fast and powerful and crazy it is in real life, pics look so calm and make it look easy.

btw nice ARS that guy pulled off.

sack bro, i used to bodyboard... awesome sport. i kinda stopped for some reason. those pics r awesome dude, man those waves r perfect. i used to surf at Nahoon reef and sometimes easterns (both in EL). Reef pounds dude, awesome waves there sometimes, largest I surfed were 6 footers. I thought about getting back into it, still got my board in the garage gathering dust. dunno where my wetsuit is though, last I saw it was in 2001 after scuba, but anyways, nice pics, keep it up.

haha man i remember one day i asked my sister to film me and my bro-in-law while we bodyboarded, we were out for over 2 hours doing the best we possibly could, got home all excited to see the hectic moves, only to find out most of the footage was of other people haha maybe 5 waves of us, the rest of ppls dogs playing in the sand or people walking around! lol
