What a picture! Boogers doing what they do best in Lahinch. What a rider. Anybody who dares to ride waves this big deserves credit for being there. Whats with the bickering go to youtube to do that crap.
yes, that is really a picture of myself, i am santa. i may well wish to eat my own farts. to be honest airboy, i think you should maybe stop coming vack with torrents of abuse. you are being a silly twat.
All of yous, get a life and go buy a kite. Kite boarding into giants is the "Au Natural" way to conquer the beasts. Tow-in = Noise and water pollution.
That is a freaking beautiful wave!
but everyone should just chill out a little. Especially those who go around dissing all body boarders, surfers or surf kayakers (i am one).
We all surf for the same reason: because we love using the oceans power to give us a huge thrill and adrenaline rush. This works with all sorts of surfing.
To call yourself a surfer you must love the actual art of surfing but you must also recognise there are many different aspects of it. Surf boarding isn't the only type of surfing, there is the use of kayaks, body boards, kiteboards, wind surf boards, hydrophoils (is that how you spell it?) ..... the list is endless.
But my reason is; you should realise that to call yourself a surfer you can't hate any other sort of the art of surfing, because surfing is about sharing the waves, to use the oceans waves to have fun and to follow surf etiquette.
So the next time you're out for a surf and you dislike another person who has a different style of surfing, just realise that it isn't youre ocean. Just live with the fact you can't change that!
kook,come to the pacific with that attitude.100% kook you are,its scum like you that lowers the quality of surf sites.just do what you've dreamed of doing,put the noose around your neck,know one likes you gimp.
why does'nt airboy(more like poo-stanceboy)put a pic up of his local or one of him surfing and let him be judged,i would put my house on the fact that i could surf better than him on a sponge than he can on his pig boat.
dear airboy, it makes me laugh as we all know that for someone to spend their precious time in writing a lameass comment like yours that you probably don't know how to surf yourself. I'd love to see you even try to drop into a face like this let alone trying to hold your edge on the object you like to call a sponge. Stop trashing something you have obviously no idea about. One day you might learn a thing or two about respect in the ocean
OH MY GOD! AIRBOY you are the god of surfing in human form, I can't wait to see photos of your fat airs, please post them soon, my drool is going to swamp my laptop in anticipation of the amazing spectacle of your chisseled physique gracefully soaring above the waves. Please post them soon, drool levels rising..... OH MY GOD!
You are right man, spongefreak does know whats up, pity you dont. hahaha, I like your work spongefreak. Real MEN as you put it dont call themselves airBOY as you put it. Go play hide the sausage with your little boyfriend and stop bugging the grown ups now please.
holy farking shite laddies!!!........much respect to irish and boogers on this one....so if yer an irish booger props to you on this string cause if you even get close enough to hear that wave break you got noots!!!
baaahahahah airboy what a drone,love to see you rock that attitude in hawaii cuz,you would get a smack from a booger then probably from a local surfer then buckwheat would drive your bleeding face to the airport to run home to you pussy yank beachy.funny how the surfers who give shit to lids cant actually do a turn,bet yah airboy is no different.losers that comment like that on msw(and theres alot)should maybe spend more time surfing good waves and than surfing the web,kooks fullstop.
i had to look at this picture for a while.....thinking what it would be like to be on that wave......fuck me, i would be shitting it...but isn't that what makes us all do it,no matter what you ride.....having that little bit of fear, having the balls to charge......having a go at breaking our fears.
the guys that are dissing this picture because there is a booger on the wave will never conquer....that is why they diss it.
Mike Parsons you mean, not quite that size (and don't take that the wrong way he's got bigger cahoonas than me, I'd go no where near a wave that big)but no what you mean. This photo, wave and boarder rock.
Hay Glitter Band man, you`re a 1st class twat, that`s why you chose that name. You aren`t funny, you`re a twisted fukwit who shit stirs for fun. We call them types - Cunts. You dont even surf do you?? Stupid fuck wit.
why? so they can completely fuck it up for the Locals and bring in a bunch of hangers on and assholes and open surf academys and "wank me off" surf stores....."annes cottage. Not just a surf shop its a way of life"!!
fucking sperm...not even embryo's
i hear ya dome, but i cant really see that happening because its an *area of outstanding natural beauty* but there's already a 7-up campaign happening for the past year or so trying to make it a natural wonder of the world site which in my opinion would be much worse. there'd be even more plebs around the place then.
Must have been a rush of note, anyone who doesnt show respect to this kind of thing cant call themsleves a surfer, the only surfing they probably ever do is on the net.
would you use a 42" dow core board for something that big? altho its pretty clean looking i'd say the power of it would make ribbons of your board without stringers and a stiff core. a bit of extra length to reduce drag would be a nice thing to know you have to use
I would have thought them body boards were moulded with a HD foam tube in the middle. something similar to a surfboard stringer but made from foam.
Ever had a go on a paipo Shorey?

I typically use a 42.5 inch board. If I were to even attempt this I would go down in board size to about 41.5 inch. Seems counter intuitive but the rider will have more control.
not sure i like the like the look of that thing kook, a board with good flex and snap lets you drive speed then you have the whole hardness battering your elbows. i'd say it might have potential as a dropknee board altho i'm no expert. i do know what to do when i finally snap my resin tho.
Yeah, was chatting to my bodyboarding buddy a while back, he said the same thing, "no flex = world of pain"! But next time I find a 1/3 of a longboard on the beach, im making one of these for defo.
He did make it, you can see the other photos at www.flickr.com/edmate
Mickey Smith also got a rad water shot of it and yes he paddled and yes he's still stoked.
that is a great pic, boogy boys, you should not rise to the bait so easily! You know a boogy pic is gonna get ribed but its all in jest, as if any of these *pro surfers* that ditch on this pic are actually going to go near that wave?! this wave takes balls to get into no matter WHAT you ride.
Full on Respect... Anyone doubting the skill and balls it takes to kick into that has no idea what they are talking about... thats is showing some faith in his rail control... don't wanna lose it there.
because he is on a bodyboard !!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm a surfer but there isn't anything wrong with bodyboardin. he has got balls to charge a nice wave like that. keep the bodyboard hating to yourself!
No ski, no rope, no straps. He kicked into that. Are you f-ing kidding me. If you can't give this dude/wave props then you should stick to darts and get off this site.
That is without a doubt one of the biggest waves I've seen a booger on. However, he looks pretty low on the face and losing speed, so I reckon that monster is gonna eat him for lunch.
If you're looking at that picture and instead of imagining the feeling of being there you're judging the surfer for lying down, or comparing the wave to something bigger you've been on, then for krikey's sake, go into boxing or karate, anything where that sort of whiney testoterone ridden chest pounding matters. That is one sweet shot.
even if he is bodyboarding that is some serious charging right there...I doubt you as a Dutch "surfer" have ever stood up on waves above knee height...talk about a poser!!
charger. I have just been out for a run and have subsequently got some sweat on my balls would you like to lick it off? I bet you talk like this don't you....."you caan't come in heure...you're blaak!"
