agreed mate. but then surfers wont let big wave bodyboarders compete in billabong xxx large awards. i think they just dont want to be beaten by bodyboarders who are going way harder then them
Who is this guy ridding ?? He makes perfect lines all the way - those here who are bodyboarders know that. btw.. last wave was a gift 1st to him them for every who is watching it!
not really about if its harder to stand up or drop in prone, standing up is the first of many more challenging movements that it takes to make a barrel even close to this. bbrs have in the past and still ride heavier waves and hit sections no surfer realistically thinks about. carving turns at rincon is entirely different than getting barreled at shark island. i stand up surf and bodyboard and theyre two different ways to ride a wave, both functional for different types...heavier waves bbing
Oh and jet ski's dont belong in either sport, Bodyboarding or Surfing. I understand it gives you an advantage, but the whole point in wave riding is to be you and mother nature. If it can't be paddled, should not be ridden. Takes massive balls to ride these waves with or w/o a ski (and all big waves for that matter, not knocking these guys have courage), but jetskis are horrible for both sports.
Well I wouldn't say that jetskis are horrible for the sport, but I agree with you on how towing-in is viewed. People see the size of these waves and automatically assume that it's bigger so it's more difficult whereas I'd argue that it's not necessarily more difficult just more dangerous. But yeah, definite respect for the balls on these guys.

That last wave was the most exciting wave of my life . . . and I wasn't even there !! Un-freaking believable . . .
I wish i was there just to watch these guys
Even on video, seeing waves of this size I panic. But it is too beautiful !!!...a lot of expertise... a lot of technique and a lot of courage. 👋👋👋👋
