Unfortunate onshore snuffed out everything - swell is on but geez it looked ordinary 
Swell starting to show here but expecting bigger waves to come. Went and checked it this morning but the tide was right up it so went home and grabbed the belly board and fins and surfed a reef break that I hadn't been out in for ages. Picked off a dozen or so and came in as the crowd started to show up. I was happy with that

That's it Vanders. Different feeling skimming tight and close in to the wave and every wave is over head

I would be interested in seeing a few pics of it smh if you get a chance
I actually found an old red/blue surf mat in the shed today that still holds air. Would be an interesting excercise to get out on it for a few waves.
Give it a crack V, great fun sliding across a wave on you guts and at least it gets you out there and staying fit.

No worries Chrispy I'll try and dig a pic out . Good to see you and SP back
Here it is . It doesn't look much but it's a lot of fun. Great big concave through it and two side biters.

That's an awesome looking beast!!!!
I don't ride it much but I always seem to have a good time on it. It's easy to transport , can be ridden in tiny waves or big waves and easy to duck dive. I had a memorable surf on it at Green Island one day. It took me forever to paddle out on it but it was pretty big with most people sitting wide. I took a few on the head but was able to pick off the medium size waves way inside that stood up all the way down the reef.
I've got a good mat as well but it's a bit tricky riding it. Need to spend more time on it.

Are mats still a thing??
Seems like so long ago. Brings back memories of the big rashes (nipples) that I used to get from those styro surf boards or the late 70's boogie boards that had lost their outer covers but they were all we had to catch shore breaks that filled every orifice with sand. Ahhh the memories.
Get on to Krypt mats website. They out of Ballina I think and theres footage of guys riding them at Lennox and Broken Head flying through sections. The materials are much different. Mat riding is popular in the states and theres some good footage of George Greenough on youtube.
Matt's are so hard to ride ,and I won't even start in about the ease of paddling 
when you do get a wave its a freaking rocket ship
Does yiur belly board have any sort of padding on the deck smh,or is it a sausage softener of a ride ?
I am really intrested in them . Oh ,what and when do use the fins and what sort when you do,also dims please 
And a few more pics
I just bought this for the express use for prone surfing..aka..Booga..it's 5'4" Tommy Carroll quad..soft/hard FCS fins.
Mac. I reckin you should have a look at something like above so you can get out there on those bigger than 2 ft days. Be fun

No worries Chrispy I'll try and up load some more pics . The deck is waxed. The back fins stop the side slip . I guess a half decent board builder could knock one up for you . The board itself is 4'8 . No ther dims written on it but I reckon it's 22' wide and 2 3/4 thick. When paddling for a wave I paddle and kick . The fins I got are Voit duck feet and they're soft and supple and I don't tend to cramp with them. They're pretty popular with lifeguards over in the states .
Geez,I remember when I was living at Currumbin a Mate and I went around to Jim Banks factory and he had a bellyboard very similar to that smh.I asked him who's it was and he said it's mine,he rode it quite frequently he said to get a feel of tuberiding.Well we all know what he's famous for
Sensational big A - pure filth landed some absolute bombs faaaaaaaaaarken ripped but big crowd yeeeeeeeeeeeeefarkenhaaaaaaaaa
Geez plus had the pleasure of Bazz61's company 
Scored some weak 8 fters behind the alley rocks.
Hopefully we get some real size later. Mac was on fire. The taka thp works good in those waves
