I'm sure you're right Marcus in saying that bb'ing is marketed to kiddies and teenagers. But then after reading Jamieshunt's post I realise that bb's do get smashed a whole lot more than stand-ups. Watching ppl go nuts at Knights beach here in SA, basically pulling into 6"+ closeouts in 2 foot of water again and again, or busting airs and landing in the flats, !@#$ that must put a lot of stress on a body...marcus wrote:does anyone agree or disagree with anythin i or the eople above have said?

correct me if im wrong but id would have to say that proffesional bodyboarding gets barely any exposure. i thnk its a bit like the womens WCT, hardly any events, even less media coverage and a lot of people dont even know there is a world curcuit for b-boarding. i for one only recently found out there is a b-boarding equivalent of the WCT. id like to see more on TV about bodyboarding, u guys do some crazy sh*t that would get a lot more people into the sport if they knew about it. iv seen bodyboarders do things that would be next to impossible on a surfboard, and i like it.
