Our good friend Bobby Beathard is a world champion bodysurfer. He is in his 70's and yet he is one of the best in the world. In fact you'll see him this year again at the world championship body surfing contest at Oceanside this summer. Poised and ready to take yet another win.
Bobby is always stoked to be in the water and talk to you about whatever is turning your glide on. For all the years I've known him I was never much of a bodysurfer. So when I started this project with the hand planes he took me aside and gave me some pointers. The first thing he told me was to go get some Vipers. So I did.
It's been a month now with the new fins and I couldn't be more stoked. They are more ridged then my last set of fins and have a great set up with neoprene on the inside top of the fin that keeps my feet from getting messed up. All and all a great setup and I'm catching more waves with my new found power.
If you are starting to bodysurf yourself then I pass on the same advice.
If you need a set I got mine at Falcon's body Board shop right here in Leucadia. Good to support your local shops. Justin is a great guy and he'll hook you up with all sorts of advise. www.falconsbodyboardshop.com/
If you buy some from him give us your box and we'll give you a wax buddy. We are reusing them to ship hand planes in!
Thank you Bobby for being such a great friend and influence all these years. We really appreciate it!
