I grew up bodysurfing…
In fact, I got 4th place…
At the 1979 World Bodysurfing Championships…
In Oceanside, California (I still have the faded ribbon)….
An acquaintance recently related to me…
Their recent bodysurfing jaunt on OR’s north coast…
But my immediate thought was the wisdom of…
Bobbing about in a seal/sea lion based costume…
In waters not disassociated with large, mindless, predatory fish…
What say you denizens of the OSP deep…?
Foolhardy? Fun? Risky? Safe? OK as long as they stay outta the way…?
I never even hardly ride shortboards anymore…
Just based on the risky outline as seen from below….
And because my skills have deteriorated so much…
But let’s not dwell upon that.
