Bodyboarding’s influence on surfing
Surfing magazine’s Jeff Flindt says,
“Most surfers don’t surf shorebreaks and crazy slabs. Shooting bodyboarding is way harder because the waves are heavier. When I shoot with surfers they want to look for good waves that are surfable, not death. When I used to shoot with bodyboarders they were looking for death slabs and the craziest wedges.”
Nearly every heavy-water discovery in Australia over the past decade — including jaw-dropping, new-age slabs like Cyclops and Shipsterns Bluff — was first sniffed out by a bodyboarder.
