YOUR VIEWS ON RIVALRY BETWEEN SURFERS AND BODYBOARDERS : I respect anyone who does what they do well ; or people who surf because they enjoy it. I just cannot stand the cowboys who have all the gear and no idea ; they just get in the way. I suppose it just comes down to what you enjoy doing - as long as they don`t drop in , who cares ?...and most of the bodyboarders are starting to realise that they are only fourth best anyway.....: 1. Shortboard. 2. Beginners who are in every day learning to stand. 3. Longboarders. 4. Bodyboarders. 5. Kneeboarders RESULTS :- 1st . Sennen Junior Championships. 3rd. Newquay Pro Juniors. 3rd.
