Body Boarding

[mpdowling]

hey fella's, been going through a few old threads and it looks like there is a big body boarding following with many members, out there and having fun, just wondering if anyone wanted to hook up and have a "bord" im still relitively new to the sport, ( about 1/2 a year) but go out most weekeneds. just wondering where most poeple go and "optimen" spots for body boarding? i think it would be fun to mix boards and bikes, and create a bigger riding and boarding friendship in farkin.

well the offers out there, if anyone's interested pm me or post in this thread :)

also if this is a really stupid idea and not exactelly for these forums just say,

cheers.

p.s. are there any bodybarding forums?

I dunno so much about forums but have you seen fluidzone.com?

Also my fave beachies are Whaley (specially wedge) curly and avalon. Best reef is winki.

Just go have fun and explore.

And to add to the thread who has been on bodyboarding trips up the coast or to islands or something? I'd love to hear about it.

[brusier]

yeah a solid beach is DY mad waves, is has a mad point and some sick beach brakes.

[MikeT]

sth curly for the best beach so nice and sucky and heavy. Winki is the funnest reef ive ever surfed, so if theres a decent south swell on its way winki's the go for me.

[mpdowling]

yeh been goign to dee why for a while know.... a few mates live down there so its weekend crashing at their places recently. the point is pretty fun, but is starting to be getting repidive. was down there last sunday, anyone heading out this weekend?

[I_am]

I surf not body board so cant really help you there. However there is a Bit of a Bodyboarders forum at www.realsurf.com

[S.P.G.]

Whale beach for sure.. also tamarama and yarra bay. I have yet to discover anymore in sydney. They are some of my fav's though.

[skivi]

i love bodyboarding, with the right conditions i dare say its even better than MTB :eek:

damn you port phillip lake, DAMN YOU!!
its near impossible to feed a bodyboarders appetitie when they live in suburban melbourne and dont have a car.

check fluidzone.com ;)

[scotty-do]

i to am a bodyboarder/Downhiller. been doin both for about the same amount of time and love both equally.

i'm going round the world in 07 chasing waves, it should be awesome.

i'm from SA so the likes of knights (its a wedge) or rebounds (reefy) take my fancy when it comes to having a boog. but when knights gets big it gets fkn heavy.

but ive heard good things bout the east coast and oneday will get over there and experience it for myself.

yeah ur right but i find it to often be heeps choppy..

[zids]

also if the point is breaking at all, you will find about half the northern beaches out there. I personally am a big fan of less crowded beaches i.e. Sth Curly, whaley & Bungan. Body boarding is the bomb!

if you get out early or during winter when its good its not as crowded. Its only at its very best in winter anyway

[brusier]

true it can get a bit choppy, but other than that it can have some great waves.

i havent been to long reef yet does it have any good surf?

i went to longy one saturday after a massive swell that week. The kick and the roy were going off the day before but died down so we walked round to longy and it was freekin huge. Big monsters rolling in, bomby type waves then they hit the sandbank and jacked up bigtime. On the right waves its awesome. Mona Vale basin is good at hightide on a big swell for some shories.

[mpdowling]

yeh the many basin? (i htink thats it) is pretty good, when it gets good, its good fun ( good, good, good hehe) it sucks up like nothing else. i have a mate who was in the wrong place and it sucked up to straight rock, * he will never be the same* hehe..... is anyone up for dee y this sunday? or anywhere for that matter?h

cheers,

if no one makes sense of this post just say, and i will re type it

[MikeT]

surfs flat at the moment curly may have a little wave. Havent had any good surf in ages.

[Big_Al]

Carnt get much better bodyboarding surf that Narra. Look up and down to find the best spot + lots of nice places to eat

[zids]

completely agree with you, i ahd oen of my best surfs of all time there!

As far as longy goes, most of the time, its a terrible beach. The only time it is any good is when the swell comes through and breaks on the bomby, other than that, it is generally flat. This weekend (saturday) was one of the rare exceptions when it was breaking, it was awesome. Very fun booger sesh.

[ScottD]

Littles might be alright, i will keep a look out at warriewood, i will look out my window:p

[Huck_This]

I usually go to warriewood but if its no good i'll go round to mona vale. Mona vale is usually alot more crowded. I live about half an hours drive from the coast so i don't get out that often, at least once every one or two weeks though.

[ScottD]

warriewood isnt looking promising for all those who want a report, littles is crap too aswell as mona vale, Lizard rock gets my vote for tomorrow!!

[maca192]

Go out to manly headland on a big swell and hit up winki, its an awsum bodyboarding break and if you want to trek it a bit go up to north avoca they always have awsum beachies and insane shories

[tonka_202]

yer avoca has some pretty nice shories but man in the summer like 2 years ago north haven (neer Port Maguarie) got so dam nice so bareling down there.


This year it was just full of red weed though!!(so gay)

[MikeT]

sth curly had some sick wedges the smorning, good fun hitting the back wash behind the rocks there aswell.

[Jezza1006]

Out at Warriewood is good when the swell is small...but Long Reef is awesome in a big swell

[Constable Care]

the realsurf forums are god
and they have some links to complete boogers only forums

[rabbitt69]

two really good beaches.......bilgola and avalon
every time i go to avalon its good surf and bilgola is mostly good
avalon reef is really sick as well

[rabbitt69]

also if your up in central coast check out Avcoca and North Avoca because that always has nice waves and also check out Copacabanna reef as well it is really good

[zids]

hey just wondering whereabouts on the beach the copa reef is. IS it about 100-200m south of where the falgs usually are. If so, thats one of the best breaks i have ever seen! About 5 - 6 weeks ago, it was breaking perfectly, good times.

[AnthonyJosephNelson]

I'm going to werri with all the werri boys.

the reef is on the left near the club house just on the point

[stp_sam]

when the tide is right shaol and crosswaves are usually good.

Although it isnt digital the GoPro Hero is a sick camera for watershots etc while surfing/bodyboarding. The photo quality isnt the best but its still good,

As for bluebottles, bungan had stacks this morning. There was literally a 3 foot thick line of them all up the beach and there were so many its not funny in the water. I was stung 4 times, once majorly the rest just little ones.

[rabbitt69]

you should also check out the south coast
places like ulludulla (i hope that's spelled right)
they look like they have some awesome spots, i'm heading down there in the holidays

[Nick05]

yeh, body boarding rocks, rye back beach is a god spot lots of clean waves:D
