Have you waited for them to load, this may take up to 5 minutes because there are several large images on this thread.
If you notice the earlier images load faster than the later ones, try waiting for each one to appear.

nice pics fellas i finally got them loading after abit of a wait, i got a few more nice pics of dbah (bout 5mins from me, the standard
of booging that goes down at this place is incredible, hitting a backflip/reverse air does not make you stand out from the crowd) first
pic is mitch rawlins

2nd pic is of 16 year old thomas robinson from the sunnycoast ive seen this fella surf on vids and real life and he would be easily the
best 16 year old in the world and one of the best riders in the world still got abit of a way to go though, this is him at wurtulla

Those are cool pics! I wish i could look like that 16 year old on a board, he looks pretty sick!
He looks about the same skill as our British/Irish 16 year old sponger Andrew Kilfeather. As well as having two high ranking surfers
for uncles, he does stand up surfing as well as bodyboarding. He enters competitions, shoots footage and even rides with Damien King
and Danny Wall sometimes. 
I cant find any pics of him on the internet, but he sure looks sick in these pics in a "Threesixty"bodyboarding magazine i have.
These poor photos were taken last year in France, the quality is poor because its taken from video footage, and my brother couldnt keep
the camera still. 
Plus they're the smallest waves i've ever surfed  This year i'll be taking
my new waterproof camera with me.
Note: I am not the guy with the green float 
Pic 1) Me Middle
Pic 2) Me Far left

i highly doubt this 16 year old is better or even same standard as thomas robinson, mate this guy rips if u watch visions mike stewart
says he is the best rider at the age of 16 he has ever seen, ever, this guy rips man. how many 16 year olds do u see hitting massive
reverse airs/backflips etc and having the best style on all of them??
airbone those pics are hard to see mate!!

Like i said the quality is poor.
Alright, your 16 year old may have the style...but if you sponge with Danny Wall: considered the best Drop Knee rider over here ever,
which is what Andrew does, he cant be bad...your rider may be more sick, but has Mike Stewart seen the 16 year old i told you about?
Lol, im just saying you cant knock someone that you haven't seen. Your guy seems pretty sweet, i think to be good at both your guy's
and my guy's skill level is a huge achievment!
Plus my guy can do backflips as well...hes not just a regular.

I know about the lad your on about i seen visions , he's going to go a long way in the sport , the stand of bodyboarding in oz is so
much higher than this country by far because of the amount of sick reef and beach set ups ,if we had such waves in this country i think
it would show , apart from the walls, prisks ,skajarowski,johns ,to name a few that spend a lot of time traveling to oz indo and the
canarys ,there is a good bodyboardind scene in cornwall if you need any info on traveling around cornwall then e-mail me and i will do
my best to help you out , but if you want waves in summer there few and far between swells that dont have much power behind them.
winter is the best , it is cold but if you have a good wettie then you can stay in for a couple of hours
if you need to look at some more pics of cornwall then check out a site called www. kernowbodyboarding .co.uk
stay stoked

Yup! Oz is certainly a great country for bodyboarding, looks like if the guy is on a video then thats cool!
I might be interested in some more information on Cornwall and its surf spots soon for next year.  I will keep you in mind wez and drop you an email, as well as taking a look at that site.
Cheers matey.

aus is no where near as good as everyone thinks it is, like some parts are sik as but usually they are crowded to the max, like for
example at the goldy we have this wave called the super bank (snapper through kirra) which is 2ks long and people have been kown to get
18second barrells but i live 5-10 mins from this wave and havent surfed it in like 2 years cause it is so so crowded and only works
properly in over 3-4ft swell which we hardly ever cop here, but i want to explore some of the coast line some day cause there is so
many never surfed perfect set ups, by crowded i mean 50-100 people in 1 take off zone

Sounds pretty crowded then.
Its good that you can find secret spots though. Heres a few pictures of how crowded it gets when you go to Croyde Bay, North Devon in
the spring...its even more packed when its the summer. It's one of the
best surf spots in Britain as well as Fistral in Cornwall, which also gets packed!
The following picture shows how hard it was to get out back behind the waves that day, constant bombardment of whitewater...you can
just see a surfer riding the big wave that was out back, very tiring...im in that messy picture somewhere.

i could just imagine the crowds over there haha you have something like 30-50mil people living in a place that would fit into QLD 22
times and i think the goldy is crowded!
airbone i rekon in that pic whitewater wouldnt be the problem the number of people in the water whould have been more of an issue.
wez mate, is visions being brought out in england? kenny would be stoked bout that local sunnycoast boys getting there vid out over
there, how good is jono bruce section ey, the last wave at sandals is so bullshit with him hitting 2 backflips n air reverse on the
same wave, its sik watching the waves u surf on boogin vids, any of you fellas seen tension 8 yet?

nope...not sure if its over here yet is it guys? i reckon its all about the newest mickey smith film, "against the grain"...inspiring!
Yeh the people are annoying to, they get in your way so much...all the people in dingies, rubber wheels, some kyaks, polystyrene boogie
boarders...plus you were trying to duckdive under that whitewater all the time and popping up because someone runs over the top of you
with a rubber play toy.

No Rutland is in England, near Peterborough. Im serving in the army now, so Im based here. Very boring place.
Yeah Ben Severson only makes boards on order. I had to order my BSD from Hawaii, but I guess that just makes it even more desireable!!

shoulda ordered a TQD from Aus, sikest boards ey, he is in my opinion the best shaper in the world and all the boards hes shaped which
i have riden have been pure gold, he used to shape for 4play but i dont think he does anymore
ordering one from hawaii would have set u back a bit, how much it cost?

My board only came to about £200. With two carbon fibre stringers. Its sick, you get to choose your own materials, colours, shape
the lot.
