Playing with the dead.........

Y’know, all this talk about mats and stuff got me wondering…

I remember seeing a couple guys at the Wedge. They were both body surfing. One of the guys “dropped in” on the other, and actually landed on top of the other guy. Fortunately they were buds…and went with it. The guy on the bottom straightened out and got onto the “Rocketeer” pose, arms at side, shaped like a torpedo…anyways, the top guy surfed his buddy with skill and grace. It was actually quite impressive…

So I was thinking about the wonderful and incredible structure of the human body. What an awesome vehicle it could make. Doesn’t it have all the features of a mat and a hard board? Has anyone ever surfed a human body or heard of anyone who has? (besides body surfing) I’m curios what your/their feedback is on it’s performance characteristics!

i thought this thread was going to be about reviving retro shapes, man was i wrong.

I thought it was from Bill Kreutzmann

“… Doesn’t it [the human body] have all the features of a mat and a hard board?”

Absolutely not. Are you serious?

Trolling for Dale…

yea i used to surf on my uncle when i was about 7 and 8 , if it was to big for me to go out with a board he would take me out bodysurfing , i would hold on around his neck and lay on his back , once he was going i would climb up and stand on his back …

the only real drama was how slippery it was , now that i look back i should have asked him to wax his back …

they were some of the worst poundings i ever got , coz theres no way i would ever have gone out in waves that big at that age by myself …

as far as performance ???

i dont think i was the one in control…

Thats why I have friends of all sizes, when its big I call Joey, he is 6’7 and skinny so it works as a perfect gun. When its small and mushy I call Steve, he is 5’8 and thick with a crooked nose that can be an asymetrical fish if he tilts his head to the right. LOL

Jeez. (he he ) I thought this was sure to be some controversial new thread about surfing on Good Friday.

i am envisioning a genetically engineered living surfboard, part dolphin, part manta ray, and part Bert’s uncle.

one of my girlfriends let me surf her more often than my board .

man , was I SORE after a few days …

[Needed a surf to recover , to give my …er…single fin a bit of a rest !]

body surfing rules !! [especially when she enjoys it as much as you!]

 ben

did they look like ace and gary from SNL’s tv fun house? sorry couldnt help it

Yo thats great!!! me and my buddys do that at sandys and it is endless fun and completely retarded dangerous (but hey it wouldn’t be fun otherwise)

How we do it is take off right next to each other (almost touching) and right as you start to catch the wave grab your buddy in front of you on the shoulders and GO! If you are playing the body board, you put your hands at your side (kamikazee torpedo style) and roll your shoulders towards your chest a little giving you a little concave to hold the face (which only kinda works)

The best is when you catch the shorebreak and then it gets super steep all of a sudden and you end up sidesliding the face on your buddys back. Tons of fun but sketchy when and when you eat shit it is just this mess of limbs and swim fins while you prey that your buddy will be the one landing on the bottom of that mess

The best is if you could get a custom surf mat with a sex doll head on the front of it so everytime you take off it looks like your humpin your mat that way you are gettin double barrelled

Hey Benny, I just got it, very funny in a Monty Pythonish way…

Never surfed someone else but what a hoot at the waterslide park!!!

My mate and I got kicked out of the Kalamunda Waterworld for surfing on each other, standing up, (not mat riding, you sickos) down the straight slides and tandem riding in the tubes…

The 16 year old kid in charge of the ride just had no control over us, mind you we were both 35yo at the time.

In this situation the board has more control than the rider, and more bruises.

stay fully sick.

well, THAT puts a whole new spin on "having a good quiver " , pulling in " , "backdoor " , “body whomping”…

shall I stop now ? …I think I should stop now …

“chip”

I tried to surf my girlfriend, but the 9 inch flex fin kept falling out of her butt…can we stop now?

wave size …give a man a 10’ wave, he may call it 4

d…k size …give a man an inch , he may tell you [/HER , hopefully!] he’s got 9 [?!]

…go figure !

…About the only ACCURATE feet and inches measurements seems to be surfboards , for some reason …even measured to within a 1/16th of an inch accuracy !!

[ … yes , we can DEFINATELY stop now !]

No Dale, I wasn’t serious! I was going for something else but Chip and a few others turned it in a direction I didn’t anticipate, but am not surprised by. That’s what I get for trying to sneak something in!

…tehehehe …

It’s to do with being Australians, never put up anything slightly suss, we are watching, waiting to pounce and twist.

And we watched too much Benny Hill and Monty Python as children…can’t help ourselves.

Now where’s that Vacuum Pump thread???

cheers
