A Sponge that needs no introduction....

I am a Bodyboarder, though many of my friends are board Surfers. Bodyboarding is a unique sport born out the early 1970s – It was Tom Morey who is famous for inventing the first “Boogie Board” and since then Bodyboarding has taken off over the years to become one of the most popular extreme water sports ever– always overshadowed by board Surfing, professional riders like “The Wizard”, Mike Stewart (pictured above) have brought pride and respect to the sport. Simply said, there are advanced moves like “Stalled Inverts” or the impressive “ARS” that can not be done on a surf board, thus the Bodyboard stands alone as an exciting and rewarding wave riding tool for all levels of experience. Bodyboarding or "Sponging" as Surfers may call it, is one of many forms of wave riding. The board consists of a small rectangular piece of hydrodynamic foam. The board can be shaped for different styles of riding and even the size of the rider. It is a versatile sport that can allow a person to ride the board on their stomach, in the drop knee position or even standing up like a traditional Surfer.

Whether through retrospective memory or from new adventures, I will catalog new surf breaks worthy of mention: A description of the wave, how to reach the location and any other information including photos when available will be added. On a monthly basis I will update this site and will also rely on my friends for their local knowledge of breaks beyond my sphere of influence. Hopefully, over the course of a few years, we will have established an information source for all wave riders and especially Bodyboarders.
