bellyboards

Nice board from Sean, probably 60s with classic girly logo. Because of this its one of the few boards which is allowed in the flat.


Bellyboarders today, John Isaac - the cat in the hat, and fellow proners. The World bellyboarding championships is at Chapelporth on 5th september, and has two categories, juniors : under 60s and seniors : over 60s.


Old postcards of bellyboarding at Bude, and we think we've got a crowd problem now ! At least back then everyone could ride the same wave.




Crooklets , Bude. The right hander is ignored in favour of riding the soup.





The woodward skimmer, quite a name and a board Alex has had for years; not much risk of nose diving -see below.

  1. Can someone help me, I have two of the classic old - prob '50's wood belly boards. Looks maybe like marine ply? They have been standing around for quite a while and are very dry, how can I revitalize them?
