You can hit heavy critical sections of waves that you cannot hit on any other wave riding vehicle.
You can paddle into heavy waves you cannot paddle into on any other wave riding vehicle.
You can ride the tube in ways you cannot on any other wave riding vehicle.
And last but not least: because despite the best efforts of the surfing industry to kill it off through small mindedness at various times, bodyboarding at the highest level has thrived as a subculture, with its own ideas of fashion and ways of looking at the world, carving its own identity as a functional and radical vehicle for wave riding, and inspiring the world's heaviest wave riders to rethink their perception of what is rideable again and again. Its cool simply because its so uncool to the clueless... Pictured is Jones Russel in Margaret River WA.
