SO HERES A TOPIC FOR YOU
WHY has there never been a world class English bodyboarder. I know of one or two like Barber and Prisk (sp?) but never have I heard
of one that might challenge for the world title??

Thanks for making us feel good booger. 
We're good at football  and most our rugby is ok.
If you want world class, i keep telling you:
Danny Wall - as written about: "the man, the myth, the legend...undisputed ruler of the UK boadyboard scene and Internationally
regarded as Europe's number one representative for the drop knee stance"
You cant get much better than that

Yeah Danny is good, but is he up to Roach or Holland's standards?

I would say he's at Holland's standard definatly...i even reckon he could match Roach to, but Roach is sweet at DK!!!!
Now we've discussed DK, what about airs...the best bodyboarder for doing airs in my opinion is Jeff Hubbard

Yeah not many people can give Jeff a run in the air department. He is sick. Maybe Spencer Skipper is close, but no Hubbard is champ.
Tube riding?? I vote for Mike Steward still def. He has the best style ever!!

i get to see matt lackey atleast a few times a month surf in real life and i rekon he is best dk'r in world, watch his sections in
either supastars 2, washingmachines, projects, visions etc and u would agree, others may be able to match his frontside riding (but i
doubt it) but no one compares to his backsiding ability. another top hell underated rider is mason rose. we dont hear too much of this
danny wall guy over here.
Jeff is probably the best in the air department but i rekon sean virtue is gaining ground hell quick. hardy is probably the bench mark
at the moment in the style department.
Airbone what football are you guys good at? i think we beat u in soccer/football whatever its called over there (when u lose to aus in
football you know you suck) and we beat u in rugby everytime and destroy u in rugby league haha

kingy world champ yeww! why is there no english booger on the supertour?? you guys rave on about the good waves over there and
underground talent. and this 16 year old that smokes tom robinson, and a dkr that owns lackey so you guys must have some good riders.

Thing is booger yes we have a few good boarders, yes theres some underground talent, no we dont get too much good surf over here, most
frequent places get crowded.
Im not sure if our bodyboarders are even into too much competition ...we
do some things but i reckon you guys over there in Aus and most of the pro boarders in the world definatly beat us on the
famous/competetive side of things

i honestly dont know, i think the Aus spongers may be a bit more skilled because of the wave frequency over there...not sure, maybe UK
boarders do more underground work
