Remember the old hand surfer :oops:

Macca's opened at Mermaid in the Mid-Late Eighties and hence hand surfing shories evolved 8)

I agree. Its hard competing against this growing internet craze for a small surf shop owner like me. Believe it or not there is not much profit in the business.

These boards are very versatile mind! I got some good runs down at the snow on mine. Somebody commented that I rode my toboggen very well. I corrected them. It's a tray!! :roll:

another great tray activity, i recommend you DONT try it at home,
get yourself a front wheel drive car, drive the back wheels onto a tray each, pull up the handbrake and go nuts!! :lol:

ps, best done in a large open and empty parking lot

I hear vicco is terrible for tray surfing. Something about the waves down there apparently just arnt suited for it.
