Be as progressive as you want. Nothing will ever be as great as surfing (on your feet).

I did wonder what it was myself - Just click his name and in his profile are the recent comments. I think it's pretty obvious what it was when I had a look. What an arse.

That guy must have felt amazing. I surf but love songing as well. like a few I know, feel more comfortable with the sponge when it is big. Never done this though

'Stumpy' always wanted to try surfing, but he just didn't have the legs for it!

I love that shot, guy has balls. Im with the others about surfing or body boarding. I surf and have for years but body boarding got me there and bet it did with a lot of others too. Some of my best mates body board and there is always good banter, everyone loves banter but no one loves a pr**k.

Why cant we all just enjoy the ocean together!! Fed up of listening to comments like that of mr.villa,he would probably never put himself into the heavy positions body boarders do!! I am sick of the massive egos on the waves! I am a surfer, and very average but I enjoy what is meant to be enjoyed! respect to this body boarder!! Oh I am also not a hippy but i still love the ocean! peace!!!!!

liam o' pluto sounds like jam band to me. I'd say there is a strong possibility you may be a hippie.

Great action Photo, took the afternoon off, to enjoy the very same swell yesterday. There were some classic glassy waves, around our pretty Cornish coast.

Lovin this shot! doesen't matter whether its a dick dragger( which i am) or stand up surfer, we're all out there to do the same thing and get the same feeling

Francois...It sounds like you attended surf camp at the Sorbonne. Who knew surfing had become so popular?

But there is a very very big difference between oil-colours and some (kindergarden)-water-colours... Nice shot anyway!!!idon´t give a shit if a person is a sponger or surfer we are all ocean connected people!!!Peace Out!!

Mate , why can't all wind instruments just chill out a bit , and enjoy it for what is? We're all into it for the same feeling. Getting aggro and spoiling someones solo ruins the whole vibe for everyone. Live and let live. PEACE OUT. except for flautists they really are a bunch of tits

no way! tuba players are always in the way when i'm rockin out on my diggerydoo, theyre honkin along like elephants, while i'm tryin to get "one with my sonix" loose the tuba and learn how to diggery!! kooks! ;^)

I wouldn't say we do the same thing and get the same feeling, since I have bodyboarded before, but I will say that courage is universal, and it doesn't matter what you are on, skill is skill. It's like comparing someone who plays the didgeridoo to someone who plays the tuba. They are both wind instruments with a lot of bass, but they are completely different arts none the less. But, both can appreciate each others skill and dedication. Like comparing oil based paints to watercolour. They both create visual art, but each has it's own feel.

Dont we just love spongers????:DThey are always in our way...and then...they get to be on the photo of the day....?Whats the world coming to:'( A world were surfers come behind spongers for their ultimate quest for awesomeness!!
