They look fun - reminds me of that Derek Hynd footage at J-Bay. I think I would need to drop 10kg and move to a point break before I adopted one of those as my go-to board. I am sure that those things would find the going tough in the beachies!
i read a good article abot the pros and cons. i will look for it and post
thanks for the post sp
Rob machado riding a piece of wood, but hey its rob Machado and he can do anything
Yeah there's a bit on them in the 'Sight Sound' DVD too, looks fun..doubt I'd be able to achieve much on one tho?
that beach south was just about always empty before they built that stupid road.
A mate in Coolum has been riding super short boards of late, this morning we had a little surf and he showed up with a 4'2" biscuit
it was 22" wide and 2 + 1/2 thick, looked funny as, until I paddled back out and watched him do a cheater 5 for about 30 meters.
He ain't no grommie either, the guy is 42 years old.

i work down that way a bit.

Sounds good, I'm down there a bit so I'll give a pm when there's a bit of swell.
Cheers
More foam riding, from the same movie, the bit below is from the website
Filmed on one winter day, Ryan Burch lays into his 4'10" block of styrofoam. He took a saw to a soft top surfboard blank and voila- no fins, no resin or fiberglass, no stringer, no leash... just a square chunk of foam. More shenanigans coming soon via the new surf film "stoked and broke" a surfari epic on zero dollars.
