The
European leg of the IBA Tour has finished. The E5 in marketing parlance. The
waves were surprisingly good, but still crap. The Australians conducted
themselves respectably, but still lost (except for Dave Winchester, who won). After
watching several weeks worth of what would could only be described as
grovelling it is time to pose the question: who’s got style?
The
editorial team spent an evening watching the live web feed from the Peniche
event, Portugal. The waves were a weak two- to three-feet but Dave Winchester
was still surfing with style. Bodyboarding should, by rights, look hideous in
those conditions, but here was Winny linking moves, finding power in the pocket
and throwing spray. Other competitors looked so far removed from our ideals of
style that it might have been another sport. Junky ARSs that were only recognisable
by the judges’ scorecards and reverses that looked like frogs spinning on electrified lily-pads.
Yes, we all grew up surfing different waves. Yes, there should be variations on good style within bodyboarding. Yes, it's only subjective to a point.
Style. Discuss.

Clearly PLC, or whoever that may be down the bottom carving out some Chilean water is a better representation of what good style is. Clearly the same size wave as the other pics, but equally clear that its of better style, No?

Tamega was great because he charged and didn't spend all day looking in a (metaphorical) mirror. I would much rather watch him really charge pipe and do air forwards off ridiculous sections than watch some tech 'style' kid surf 3 foot blackrock. The more the next generation concentrate on 'style' the more they seem to concentrate on somebody else's style, which is why for a long time being exactly like Ryan Hardy was the pinnacle of Australian bodyboarding (possibly still is). I merely raise the point in anticipation of 50 grom messages bagging out the riders from other countries for not tucking their fins into their butt.
Either way the ultimate goal is to be more like Stewart or Benny P, and Bullet (for those of us old enough to remember) who have effortless style and fearless ability in equal measure. Prove me wrong.
Posted by: harrison 01-Oct-2009 04:43 PM
coops is right in a way but i think that for australia bodyboarders, gromms especially, bringing the more technical style such as Stone's, Novy's, Hardy's and Bruce's is just where the sport is heading.
Posted by: 3. Your Name 01-Oct-2009 04:45 PM
rawlins, hardy, plc, thomas robinson, backshall, joe, novy, riggerz all ooze style. If someone can tell me they would rather watch tamega do a sloppy ars at pipeline rather than TR shredding the bag out of blackrock, i will be very upset ha.
Posted by: J 01-Oct-2009 04:46 PM
Jules Cooper, I think you're taking what they're saying in the wrong light.
Surfing isn't about wrong or right.
All that shit is completely subjective.
But the technical rules of bodyboarding are rules for a reason - to steal a line of BP a rider you mentioned.
The thing that dissapoints me when this argument comes up is you get the old school saying 'Hardy clones, Hardy clones' but just hang on a second; it's evolution of our sport. It's looks cleaner, more precise and the rider displays an ability to actually know exactly what he's doing, or wants to do on the wave.
Everyone loves to see someone doing shit with style. Or even better if you've ever completed a move with some style it feels tighter and more elegant, if you like.
And I agree with you to a certain extent there; Tamega WAS great. He's from another era. He helped push the sport into new levels. And you don't have to prove me wrong here cause I just wanna see the real good shit, I'd rather see Novy spinning of lips at pipe and into ten foot caverns then frog legged ARS-thingymajigs.
I guess it's each to their own but you know Michael Jordan said; Style is everything.
Posted by: Jaleel White 01-Oct-2009 04:54 PM
Those european inspired cartwheel frogflips in competition should be banned or at the least awarded negative points. It makes the sport look like amateur hour.
The current tech generation however needs to grow some fkn balls and surf outside of 3-4 ft waves if they are going to gain any respect in the water.
So what if you can do flawless spinners and inverts on a 4ft wave. Give me a 6-8ft slab anyday. In my opinion the ultimate bodyboarder is one who can find this balance. Examples of this are Winny, Ryan, Mitch, BP, Skip, Hughes etc.
Posted by: Ben Player 01-Oct-2009 05:09 PM
I agree with what everyone says, I just think that perhaps every has the argument a little bit wrong. The element of bodyboarding that should be judged is technique. Styles can change and every rider should really have their own personal style, but good technique should be awarded and it isn't. An example of this is: an ARS scores as much as a perfect (vertical and straight back) backflip with a perfect (legs up and crossed) landing.

1. Style is derived from history
Meaning MS and his 9 world titles had a huge impression on AUS, Hawaii and some regions of the Mainland
However GT had a huge impression on Brazil, Latin American and parts of Europe due to his extensive trips through these regions and his winning style the pushed him to many world titles in the 90s
This makes for a situation where multiple regions have different approaches to their Bodyboarding. One is 100% competitive based and function but can lack form and the other can is 100% focused on form and does not care as much (besides the elite) about competition.
A good example is the new europe style and how it is split down the line, you have AUS look alikes and GT wannabees. They both have their reasons and their heros they committed their surfing to look somewhat like.
on the same note look at Skip or Hubb, bread from the class of MS but went off que to make their own path. I think being a clone is not where it is at but if you can take what one person has done and adapt it to you own and then push on from there then that is where it is at!
MS and GT and the miriads of pros that once wanted to surf exactly like them all have played there part in the next generation. The truth of the matter is competition lyes where the money is and I think the only way to attain a fair balance is to wise up the judges to degree of difficulty in a move rather then just its factor of legs crossed of frogger method.

Posted by: KAYXLS 01-Oct-2009 06:09 PM
how can anyone prefer to watch GT at pipe (or any wave for that matter) over say hardy or rawlins? GT doesnt go any harder or bigger he just has a rank style, which he shouldn't be encouraged for
it's one thing to do big moves but another to actually perfect the style, he looks like its the first time hes ever landed a move when he does one, he hasn't refined his style at all over all the years, which is pretty shit
Posted by: Aaron Dinham 01-Oct-2009 06:09 PM
Cross your legs! Simple!
Posted by: Matt 01-Oct-2009 08:01 PM
It's sad to say it but style doesn't win you world titles, but being a stylish rider earns respect from other riders I beleive.
Posted by: Max Anicic 01-Oct-2009 08:24 PM
tamegas style is so forced hes like a slut he cant keep his legs closed probably worst style ever. Thomas Robinson, PLC, Player, Hardy have good styles NOT TAMEGA

id like to hear someone like bp rate tamegas surfing instead of 13 yr old kids who dont know shit
Posted by: Dougggggy 01-Oct-2009 09:34 PM
everyone has their own style..thats what makes this sport what it is. NOT every one can bust perfect air reverses like hardy or rawlins.
Posted by: Matt White 01-Oct-2009 09:48 PM
"frogs spinning on electrified lily-pads" that had me laughing. okay my two cents is that style(even technique to a degree) is just open to interpretation. meaning most of us aussies froth on the prefect form cross legs approach, and thats kool. while the sth american cats jizz over tons of flicky snap tricks on the one wave, and you know what thats kool too. each to there own. i just think that judging comps is an impossible task because both guys think they are each are riding to the criteria. who decides who gets 1st and 2nd place glad thats not my job?
Posted by: Daniel Taylor 01-Oct-2009 09:50 PM
im with dougggggy . i couldn't give a shit if your legs are all over the place if you go huge then it's all good. "i would rather look good and lose than look bad and win" this is something that you would hear from a black basketball player in L.A. f@ck that just go hard.
Posted by: Mitch 01-Oct-2009 10:24 PM
I'm pretty surpraised that nobody hasn't talk about Uri Valadao yet. He has the worst style ever and he's still world champ.. For the IBA judges it's seems like the style isn't worthy enough.. The funcionalitty is over the style in the scoring system and that stinks... Our sport is spectacle and visualitty... we still need to work on style, and forget the brazillian way.. As a final word I have to say that here, at the Canaries we love style, if you don't belive me.. then look at Nelson Mora, Ernesto Evana or Julian Gonzalez.. (best style ever)

judging criteria is obviously so wrong. someone save bodyboarding!!! A judge should not only judge per se but should also get thomas robinson and nelson mora out of their beds and pay for them to compete.
Posted by: Carlos 01-Oct-2009 10:47 PM
I've been reading all of this and I've just one question: what's good style? because reading this seems that good is "australian style" and everything else is crap. I'm a big fan of guys like Ben, King, Hardy, Rawlins, etc... so, I'm not criticizing aussie style. far from it. But, excuse me, it sounds a pretty damn lame to be putting down a guy like Tamega who is a pilar of this sport because he has a "horrible style". It's not australian style, therefore it's bad? And what about Hubbard? Or Mike Stewart? For me he's the inventor of the concept of "style" in bodyboarding. I'm used to hear and read stand up surfers put down bodyboarding for it's aesthetics. But reading such nonsense within the same sport? Diversity of style should be encourajed. I'm tired of watching bad Hardy clones.
Posted by: Carlos 01-Oct-2009 11:03 PM
By the way, and sorry for being a bit off-topic, but about the "crap waves" we had in Europe for the IBA events: I'm not sure how it's summer down under. Massive waves all over the place, no? It's a shame the european leg takes place during the northern hemisphere's summer. Because everybody knows Portugal has lousy waves. Just ask the Rip Curl Search Pro guys. I guess the WCT standards are all wrong. Ah, wait, they didn't schedule it for August. I wonder why?

brazillians bodyboarders deserve to be nuked.... they are the epitome of filth.
Posted by: pedro patricio 02-Oct-2009 02:47 AM
it´s in europe with smaller waves that we only see that style? nope. but we see them (brazilians) winning cause they can do ars when nobody can. The maneuvers have certain ways to do it, but judges prefer putting the hardness of the maneuver in front of style. nobody do ars in 2 feet waves they do it, they win. simple as that
Posted by: David Forbes 02-Oct-2009 02:59 AM
Hi, I just wanted to say that I'm from Portugal and I don't want people to think that portuguese bodyboarders surf like brazilians that are used to forcing moves when the waves are crap, alot of us defend the aussie style and cross our legs when doing belly's.
Posted by: stormy 02-Oct-2009 04:17 AM
jeez get over it , im an aussie living in europe these days , never competed but been bodyboarding 20 years , it seems every now and then this kinda topic comes up and the answer comes back to the fact that aussies think your better than the rest , then the swell picks up and comps in south america for example happen and there was loads of other nationalities ripping , oh yeah at least europe pulled their finger out and had a comp!!! (sorry 5!!) what happened to SI? was it the champion aussies couldnt raise 20 grand?.... yeah ok style is massive , but i think the focus should still be having comps at all , then start to think about having them in good waves. bringing the sport to the masses in europe probably didnt hurt the bank balances of any local BB shops either , if all these aussie board/fins/wetsuit/clothing companies want to survive they should be striving to have aussie hold 5 big comps like this in any sort of waves (preferably pumping reefs obviously). anyway off the point now!! , haha , yeah macca did some good bottom turns back in the day , remember in stewarts view (riptide mabey issue 3-7) a shot of mike doing a cuttie in mexico , thats style!!!
Posted by: luke mason 02-Oct-2009 04:41 AM
When you throw on a new dvd or open a new magazine...wat do want to see sumone flowing with a wave executing well timed powerful moves with speed, power and precision or sumone that looks like a fucken mess with no control???
Last year when Uri won the world championship or back when Barcellous won it,(props to both the fellas for winning and putting in the hard work) but honestly do you think anyone respected these guys for winning it...
Fuck NO....the general public involved with bodyboarding were fucken ashamed that such dirty looking riding could be classed as winning the world tour!
Guys like skipper,stewart,hardy,rawlins,players can all function powerfully,controlled and skillfully in waves from 3ft-12ft....and if judges cant award riders for competing like these type of guys above then there a fucken joke and its no wonder bodyboarding hasnt progressed finacially and is still struggling to break free of its sterotypical image of being shit!!!

carlos please check in youtube (nazare special edition)

this is a portuguese contest where the main consern are big waves!
Posted by: hugo 02-Oct-2009 05:29 AM
before everyone starts to stereotipe (2 late i guess) lets clear the question. The guy the editor is talking about is a brazillian called Lucas Nogueira and he won the mentioned event. He also beat bp in the quarters. This is a clip of the late rounds: http://www.vimeo.com/6561409
He is the one with a black board. Judge by yourself. There are also other riders ripping hard like mike and amaury who did good in the contest.
Posted by: pandula australiano 02-Oct-2009 05:39 AM
Here it comes again... So now, perfect style means crossing legs when spinning, ah?! What a joke...
So GT style sucks and it's better to see Rawlins in Pipe... Ehehe! I would like to see Rawlins hitting the lips when Pipe is really hardcore, just as GT or Hubb (maybe another non-stylish rider, hein?).
And what about pulling tricks in shitty small surfing? Is it bad? I remember very well of Benny Player or PLC doing it just as good as any brazilian. I guess that they lack some style also...
Some of you aussies are so full of shit... Hey, by the way, I cross my legs when spinning.; very stylish hein?
Then it comes to judging... blablablabla is all you come come with. You know that there are judges from all over the world in IBA pannels? Maybe most of you could make the course and join, bringing all your wisdom.
I just end saying that I loved the surf in the aussie tour legs. Wonderful waves. Top class surely
Posted by: Ben Player 02-Oct-2009 08:15 AM
whos got the best style it is the portuguese bodyboard obvious, and in 2nd place the austrailian style
Posted by: Just Another Dude looking out for only himself 02-Oct-2009 09:18 AM
Fuk man Style is everyones own thing but i gotta say the aussies own it. Especially sunny coasters when it comes to Perfection riding. U wanna bag me about it well then look at Jono Bruces style. And dear god please dont tell me u havnt seen the Visions series....................
Posted by: Scott Williams 02-Oct-2009 09:55 AM
Alot of very narrow minded aussie bodyboarders out there. People become World Champion beacuse they are the best surfer throughout every competition of the year - all conditions.
Posted by: Tom 02-Oct-2009 09:57 AM
On Ben's note of technique, I believe that is right. A good style isn't crossing legs and pointing your head in the right direction. A good style is about smoothly combining power and speed and having control the whole time. Forcing shitty ars's means shit all to me, I'd rather a controlled roll or spin any day. If someone can ride any wave, preferably class waves like this I got respect.
Posted by: matthew j 02-Oct-2009 09:58 AM
this is all quite simple really;
on one hand, due to us aussies seeking to have a sick style we have infact bread clones.
on the other hand, those in the other countries mentioned here have for the most part, a sort of rank style.
the balance is found in surfing like a damian king or a jeff hubbard.......super tight and ever so stylish but not cloned like alot of these aussies...but often loose and powerfully fluid all at the same time.
thoughts on my falliable opinion anyone?
Posted by: Ben Player 02-Oct-2009 12:01 PM
I agree with Matthew J, the riders mentioned have their own style but they do every thing with perfect technique which makes them some of the best bodyboarders on the planet
Posted by: noone 02-Oct-2009 12:32 PM
I think its stupid how people say "oh hardy clones". Ryan Hardy's style is so different to say Thom Robinson's or Sam Bennett's..Crossing legs doesnt equal good style either. It's pretty much like going "oh every good Golfer is a clone of Tiger Woods".
Posted by: J 02-Oct-2009 02:43 PM
couldn't agree more with that last post. style isn't based on crossing your legs alone (i see kids down at the local chucking their legs together but it still doesn't look good.). it's displaying poise, doing the right things on the right part of the wave - or personal interpretation to what that may be. i honestly believe half the reason our stand-up counterparts look down upon us - and beleive me, i'm not here for their respect, I just think this ties into all of this - is because they see a booger down the beach sprawling his legs everywhere using his elbow for rolls showing hardly any, if any technical skill and they think why should I respect that person for something I could do better? Smooth, stylish riding is the cornerstone of great eye-pleasing bodyboarding. I mean, you can stick up for the frog legs but you can't put down the tech-wizzes. doesn't that say something?
Posted by: Liam 02-Oct-2009 02:47 PM
wouldnt you rather watch a perfect flawless backflip then a crazy legs 11
Posted by: Todd Barnes 02-Oct-2009 03:20 PM
You can't bag either Tamega or Thom for what they have done for bodyboarding. Those guys have ridden waves so well is dreamy. Tamega big air fowards at pipe in the Underground Tapes Series. Thomas and his technical power. We shouldn't be bring others down for their bad riding, lets just talk about their good riding. For me... after filming for THRASH'D all year watching the way Rawlins surfs is amazing! Always in totally control and just seems to travel faster than everyone else, as a result he has more power. This guys rides every wave he can find find like this... 2ft to 20ft...
My Random 2 cents.

Posted by: portugal style kings 02-Oct-2009 03:56 PM
if i was a kid that lived in portugal / brazil and saw the top guys surfing like they do i would not want anything to do with bodyboarding i would prefer to ride a skimboard or build sandcastles on the beach. they make it look so bad. i dont think if i tried i could look as bad as those guys do on a wave.
Posted by: Carlos 02-Oct-2009 05:36 PM
First of all, I was not saying here Portugal has the best bodyboarding. That would be foolish since we don't have a world champion anyway. Yet. Neither I'm saying anyone's style is better. So, I'm disregarding what "Ben Player" is saying (the Ben I know didn't strike me the guy to be offended by such discussions...). And anyone who knows his bodyboarding knows that portuguese style is much more influenced by Australia than Brasil. Finally, about Special Edition, lets say I'm more in to it than you know, dixie. But we can talk about it in Nazaré, next November, if you like ;)
And regarding Movement and Riptide, instead of starting such sterile, pointless discussions, why not ask what went wrong with Shark Island or why is IBA and the world bodyboarding scene so desperately amateur? The IBA board can't be made up of guys who are competing, there should be professionals working full time in communication, organization and funding. But, of course, they should do it in style...
Style is about being fluid and functional, making the right move in the right place, with speed and control. It is not about using NMD boards, Makapuu fins or having a blonde dyed hair.
It's a shame that many aussies, so full of themselves, not even having a clue about the worldwide scene as they tend to look only to their own bellys, can even come and comment about what they don't know.
Saying that Lucas Nogueira or Uri or worse GT lack style is being like a donkey with that shit in the eyes that only allows it to look in one direction. Brazilians (and not portuguese, don't be ignorant; portuguese tend to follow more the "aussie style" - that I would say that is more an hawaiian style, created by Stewart) have their own style. It works, they are fluid, and they make power moves.
OK, when it comes to small surfing they stop bodyboarding and start gymnastics to get some manouveurs, but I must remember the distracted ones that I have seen many "style masters" doing just the same shit in comps. The main thing is that bodyboarding in shitty small waves sucks, and specially when it gets to competition, sucks and is not interesting to watch. That's the main truth.
I can't understand why a fellow that goes in harmony with the wave, controling is ride, that hits the lip in the right place after a bottom turn, is said to be non-stylish just because in that backflip his legs were open and not crossed? Because the main thing comes to this. Its blindness or stupidity saying that those brazilian guys surf without decent control or not being fluid. Or else, maybe some jealousy just because the aussie lost to the brasilian in Peniche...
Finally, shame on you guys of the Movement magazine. If you have a heartburn, just go and take some mediciation before starting stupid and pointless discussions that only aim seems to be dividing what is allready a small sport.
Posted by: boo 02-Oct-2009 06:12 PM
No, "Proudly portuguese" brazillians don't have a "different style" they don't have style at all they all admit it too. They are just interested in winning comps and don't see style as a necessity. Also, bodyboarding in small waves doesn't suck it just has to be the right shape, not some fat burger like where the "peniche pro" was held. Just accept that Brazillian's have shit style, even zillo surfers do, yeaaaah hang loose pro!!!! ripping.
Yeah boo, if you don't follow the stereotype, you don't have style. Go with the flow and be equal... Guess that it is the trend. I guess that you have talked to many brazilians and watched even more on free surfing. Small question: have you ever been in Brazil in your life?
Posted by: boo 02-Oct-2009 06:44 PM
No mate, you are wrong. It's as simple as this Brazilians have rank style (if you can call it that), don't even try to say the same about all the top Aussie/French guys etc. ok chicko
Posted by: hitler 02-Oct-2009 07:34 PM
haha the portugese dudes alwayssss try to burn australia about not being able to hold a world event haha. who gives a fuck about comps.. means next to nothing. especially since your comps are held in SCUM waves all the time. haha and i dont think anybody is jealous? u could throw a pair of ur goofy fins on any of the aussie guys and make em ride one of your munted boards and they could still make it look cool.
Posted by: hugo 02-Oct-2009 08:03 PM
so many sheeps around here... yeah style police.. go for it posers..
Funny how people say that no would want to bodyboard like a brazillian and then bbing in brazil is boosting so much right now. I gess theyre having more fun than these bailarinas in australia.
Every once and then this issue comes to live and im not surprised at all. I gues its just another way of people promoting themselves.
Keep in mind that comps suck and iba means nothing if winny or hardy win the title this year. Or if ben comes sporting once again his 2x title.
Posted by: tim 02-Oct-2009 08:32 PM
yeah style is important, but you cant go bagging out people like tam for having a good time out there, boogering isnt just about comps and whose style is perceived best by the masses, all this talk between brazilians, portugese and aussies about who is better, ya ask me, toby player did it best, '4 fun'

In the end as long as you have a bodyboard and a pair of fins, it's still called 'bodyboarding'. You can't change your style as much as you try. the foundations of where you've grown up and who you've surfed with are still going to be with you. I strongly agree that the comps are aload of bullshit, but they're the only way the sports going to progress, through getting that recognition it souly deserves so bagging other bodyboarders styles, honestly what the fuck is it going to achieve? Anyway slowly you can see european riders seeping into that 'stylish era' like amaury and pieree.
Posted by: Bob 03-Oct-2009 08:58 AM
I think JB has got it pretty right on (scroll down), I think most of the up-and-comers out there copy the top guys to some degree; and this isn't always a bad thing. But ultimately I think that bodyboarders as individuals need to do what feels right to them when they are riding a wave; and that won't always mean crossed legs-churchills- rip curl suit etc. This is how we will encourage growth and evolution in wave riding, and avoid stagnation. It is okay to copy the top guys along the way, but in the end should'nt you develop your own style? So not necessarily like Stewart or Tamega.
We also need to clarify what constitutes good style; particularly in competitions for obvious reasons. Is it fair to get similar marks for a cross leg ars and a frog leg one? The former is more difficult in my opinion.
I think more of the top riders in the limelight need to experiment more boldly with style, equipment colours and so on. i.e. Tiger skin wetsuits were a fresh idea, breathing new life into wetsuit design.
Posted by: razor 03-Oct-2009 12:27 PM
To me style is about composure in a hectic situation. It used to be the Hawaiians were the most stylish; Stewart, Skipp, Ronk etc, at this point in time its the Aussies; Hardy, BP, TR etc, maybe within the next few years more and more Euro's will surf like Amaury & PLC and become the dominant force. People are turning this into almost a racial thing. No one is saying GT sucks because he didn't have a convential style, but if you could watch him do it his way, or you could see Stewart or Hardy do it theirs, most people want to see more control.

I got to read a copy of VERT magazine recently and was suprised on how many good shots of amazing riding it had.The portugal riders and I think there was other nationality's in the issue I read were doing stylish big moves, they are surfing so well so before anyone rights them off maybe try see what these guys are doing out of the comp scene.it's impressive.
Posted by: dean 03-Oct-2009 07:11 PM
long live aussie bodyboarding style gods
aka thom rob flames yates and dixon and all the other south coasters
tim, james, bob, razor: good comments.
Bodyboarding is about having fun and anyone should follow their own path, but that path will allways have influences, and that's ok; what is not ok to me is having a strict definition of style and basing that definition in the forms that most of the media brings to us.
Brendon Backshall me and others have said here that most of the people are making comments about a thing that they don't know at all; if I was aussie, and having such a huge amount of media and riders from my own place, maybe I would be like that; portuguese follow mainly what I would call the Stewart-Hardy style path and not the brazilian influenced one. What many portuguese can't stand is arrogance and disregard towards who decided to follow a different line. I don't see where is the big difficulty of crossing legs when spinning or keeping the board more close to you when doing an invert or rollo, specially to a pro...
My main point in my comments was demanding some respect to the difference, but for what I have seen is a lot of pre-conceived thinking, and I am sad that a bodyboarding mag is making this kind of contribuition. And this text just brings back to my memory the one about Stewart in Arica or making fun of the brazilians in the shorebreak challenge... You Movement fellows will not see a single dolar from me anymore; shame on you.

Hitler, having Shark Island Challenge without waiting windows, running in a 4-5 days period only, would probably be a super-comp...
Posted by: Carlos 03-Oct-2009 08:36 PM
Yep, only an ignorant fool would say teher are only "SCUM waves" in Europe and Portugal in particular. You only have seen Sintra in the summer, I assure you it's not the example to follow. But as I said before, the guys at Rip Curl's Search team must be blind and dumb to have a WCT comp in Supertubos...sure.
PS: Just underline this isn't an answer to someone who calls himself "Hitler". My sense of humor doesn't go that far...

doing all the things with style gives you muuuch more pleasure than surfing without style, even more pleasure than an orgasm, is the best thing in life
Posted by: cleggy 04-Oct-2009 12:01 PM
For starters Doing a reverse on a wave with your legs crossed isn't good style. Good style is flowing from move to move and doing what the wave allows you to do. For all of you guys bagging Tamega your so clueless. Ask even Hardy and Rawlins what they think of his surfing and they will say amazing!!! I have asked Mitch myslef. Secondly for all you guys that say my generation don't charge and can only surf 3foot wedges, your wrong. Josh Garnier's wave on the big right will prove you wrong. Tom Rigby was charging hard in Chile. I do think the young Australians are spending to much time surfing only wedges though. It is boring watching a bodyboardinbg movie and seeing some dude aim straight at a section and doing a move with his legs flung or crossed. Hardy has the best style because his brothers rode surfboards therfore he bodyboarded a greater vartiety of waves. Including piointbreaks which taught him how to flow and link moves effortlessly. Also only one event of the European tour is worth 2000 iba points the rest of the events are at great waves like pipe and Chile. To be the best bodyboarder in the world you have to be able to surf great in smaller waves as well. We can't have less competitions in Euroupe and Brazil because the waves suck. These comps help our sport grow. The real solution is for the judges to place more emphasis on style and flowing moves together rather than just ars's in small waves.

Not everyone who attempts to ride as per the typical Stewart, Hardy, Rawlins (and the like) style look stylish when they ride. Personally, I cannot stand the Europeans etc way of surfing, but in saying this, I really despise pop reverses with the gumby elbow that alot of people seem to be doing of late. To me It seems that some of the control and flow of moves has been lost a bit.
In my mind Rawlins and Kingy are still the benchmark for smooth controlled bodyboarding, but it's good to see the likes of Joe Clarke, Jake Stone and Thom Robinson adopting these traits but forging their own style at the same time.
That's just my opinion, but each to their own.
Posted by: laz 04-Oct-2009 02:17 PM
Haven't seen this much feedback or discussion ever, its a good thing. I think this thread has been posted out of the frustration that competitive bodyboarding still isn't professional enough. Few key points; style comes from experience and understanding. We should all have our own style. All bodyboarders from around the world have there own styles. I believe there is no right style; crossed legged spins or not. Style is generated from power, control, understanding, experience, etc. The best guys repeat this over and over again. Style is about ____!!! So perhaps its not worth saying who is the best and who's the worst. You should be able to look at any rider and tell if they have style or not. Mentioning methods isn't discussing style.
The issue is that we should be more focussed on the on the IBA tour, judging and marketing. This has always been an issue in Australian/ World bodyboarding. These comps have been run by the same people for years and they have done an amazing job. But I would hate to say it is what brings bodyboarding down as a sport. Riders are frustrated with judging, I am frustrated with whole thing. I think bodyboarders have forgotten about the tours and have nearly given up on them. Riders shouldn't be getting frustrated with results or bringing up issues that question the IBA tour at all. This shouldn't be an issue. It is obvious were the money comes from in the sport; its the media outlets, not the tours. Riders invest time on getting shots run, not training for the big comps coming up. This isn't a good thing; it should be both. The IBA needs a business plan that addresses the short term issues and long term issues. Short term being; judges need to be trained properly, seek design help (perhaps Movement could invest some time??), seeking vid help (Perhaps WBP or Thurstons? could do the vodcast)(DO NOT PUT UP VIDEOS THAT ARE MADE BUY LESS THAN AMETURES USING SOME CRAP SOFTWARE, IT MAKES US ALL LOOK BAD), seek marketing help, seek business help and perhaps with a stylish campaign banners could be produced at a visual level that is equal a professional comp, not a local footy match. Long term; expecting that the IBA is looking good and presented well, I am sure more money would be available, I am sure the marketing could be conducted by trained professionals and I am sure the IBA could be self sufficient. The hard step is the first short term stage, the IBA doesn't have the money, they need help. Perhaps professionals could give their time and instead of a few people trying to run a world tour, the tasks could be broken down. This would allow the tour to step up and then seek the money it needs. And most importantly have SOMETHING TO PRESENT when seeking advertising support. Just like the magazines, bodyboarding needs to be presented professionally. Its amazing what magazines such as Movement have done for the sport and the videos from No Friends or WBP. What we saw was a sport that was presented badly now leading the way in DESIGN and STYLE. These guys have packaged bodyboarding the way its supposed to be, perhaps they can help repackage to the IBA, until it can support itself professionally. Until the IBA tour is resolved bodyboarding is isn't going to move forward..

I cant believe people are talking so much shit about Temaga, surfing with him in the canarys and in hawaii taught me so much about surfing. Until your in the water with him when its big, stop talking shit.

Posted by: Proudly portuguese 05-Oct-2009 12:07 AM
Grant Faulkner as you are making comments on "the european way of riding", please define it. I am european and assure that there isn't a single european way of riding... And I remember you that PLC is european, just for example. I am waiting.
About Uri... I am not quite a fan of his style, but I don't disregard him, and he surely knows how to surf from small to big.
Posted by: 3. Your Name 05-Oct-2009 01:08 AM
i think that the scoring system needs to be reviewed. bodyboarding is technical, but not as technical as surfing, it's way easier to judge. i often think about a points deduction system, where points are deducted for loss of control and forced/un=fluent riding. sounds crazy but it would sort lots of crew out. i was horrified after watching the Chilean comp. the waves were amazing, some of the best, and you had guys in the quarters sliding out. and people getting 9's for a big tube then flopping a roll as they come out. clearly riders where losing control, but getting scored highly. on the style side, people should not be pigeonholed for coming from any area. individual style should be encouraged, clean powerful and explosive bodyboarding is the only way forward.. i believe...
Posted by: Carlos 05-Oct-2009 01:28 AM
My countryman "proudly portuguese" has a point: what the hell is the "euopean" style? PLC, Amaury, and some of the best portuguese riders emulate the australian style, so I really don't get why you don't like it. Geography lesson: Brasil is in South America.
So you think a rollo after a deep barrel in a wave like Arica should penalize the rider. It always comes back to Stewart's win in Arica, doesn't it? What about Hardy's performance at the final in Pipe?
Really, when the discussion reaches this level of nonsense, outting down guys like Tamega or Stewart, I guess I'll leave you guys barking alone.
But I leave with a challenge for the Movement people: raise the bar of the discussion. Is "style" the most important issue in our sport? Really?
Posted by: cleggy 05-Oct-2009 11:10 AM
Way of the subject Iaz but you are right the Iba should get somebody good to film the comps and edit them....
PS TAMEGA IS ONE OF MY HEROES (and i cross my legs. Don't worry you 13 year old bodyboarders i was clueless at your age too...one day you will understand what good bodyboarding is)
Posted by: Grant Faulkner 05-Oct-2009 12:08 PM
To Proudly Portuguese, I agree with you about PLC, but I do respect people like him and other guys like Tamega as they are doing and have done alot for the sport respectively. Those dudes are still good to watch, especially in waves of consequence, they just seem to go nuts!
Yeah I admit I was a bit ill informed, cheers for opening my eyes.
From reading the comments others have made I think that we should just forget about this style shit and just have fun, because at the end of the day isn't it the reason we're in this for?

Posted by: Nando Calri 06-Oct-2009 04:47 PM
Always like that with the aussies!
they are the only ones in the world with "style" !
hahaha
you aussies dont even have a comp in ur country!
how can an aussie surfer rules the bodyboarding association?
why they have to fly judges from aus to other countries when they cant even hold a comp in their own country (bye shark island challenge, it was nice to meet you) well, its always like that if they dont win (right BP?. just remembering the scandal he did in pipe this year because he felt underqualified for his 2 ft wave backflip!) the future of boydboarding is NOT in australia. looks the comps in Europe or South America and compare! for the SIC there was a couple of umbrellas and thats all! and the prizes...
Please aussies, go back to school and LEARN! Brazil is NOT in Europe and Arica is in SOuth America son stop talking shit. By the way, in a past movement mag i saw an interview to a guy that said that Machu Picchu was built by the AZTECS! it was an aussie guy FOR SURE! so IGNORANT !!!!
Posted by: your name 06-Oct-2009 06:00 PM
how can you associate, not having a comp as not being stylish? who cares if we dont have an iba comp in australia that has shit all relevance to aussies being stylish bodyboarders you wanker. sorry we dont chuck all our money in the sport towards shitty 2ft mush comps. the money goes towards better things over here. is there even a brazillian bodyboarder that lives soley off bodyboarding?
Posted by: Chode 07-Oct-2009 02:11 AM
Style should be in the eye of the beholder. Kids need to stop trying to imitate style that's already been established and create their own way of riding...
And for the number you can't compare Tamega to TR, Tamega is already an established legend and TR doesnt surf too different from anyone else..
Posted by: no name 07-Oct-2009 05:23 AM
For a nation that doesn't care about comps (at least when reading many of the comments here) you guys write a lot. If it is not the judgement, its about style; if it is not about style is about the waves; if it is not about the waves is about how a guy celebrates a victory in a heat and so on... Well, I wonder how it would be if some of you people really cared about this. And I also wonder how it will be if an aussie gets the tittle this year...

Posted by: Joel Turner 07-Oct-2009 11:29 PM
how could anyone surf those waves with style??
with the waves as shit as they were in the viana comp every move of the comp was forced.
put the tour in waves like the arica comp, or fronton, or shark island, or chopes or something with some grunt behind it and i think everyone would be surprised as too how all the nations surf style-wise in comeptitions....
until the tours in better waves the sport is doomed to frog flips, regardless of what country you are from....
and yes. i am australian
Posted by: bat 08-Oct-2009 05:38 AM
I love how everyone has a different style! It's great to be unique.
I hate forced looking moves though, for me that is bad style.

Aussignorants always complain!
and look at ur national tour! its pathetic!
well, what can we expect from people who leave a surfer to rule BODYBOARDING! (its a different sport!) i dont think people from hawaii or the US is talking about the style of Kelly Slater is better than Mick Fanning's or Parko!

To hate on someone like u guys are doing?? c'mon!?
If someones good at something - and enjoys doing it (and wins world titles doing it) then he deserves alotta respect!

Hey ben player this is the funniest bunch of comments i have read about bodyboarding in a long time. And rafael paes, calm down man, ben is just getting a discussion going and yeah for sure tamega is a legend, wave slaves segment, that was sure a mix between eppo and 'land of the lefts'. God, remember dave ballard shredding dk, then we saw paul roach for the first time, and then kyle maligro and aka lyman, fred booth, mason rose, kainoa mcgee dking huge pipe...Jeez, and check out dave ballard...mental...and good old lackey representing him happy self... thats all dk. Remember ben holland in waves from hell...so different, dont forget about andre botha...style right there...i got a skipp board because of his style...been riding his template since he was riding for morey...don't forget wingnut...legend when he was that young ripper bouncing down the walls of shark island....steve mackenzie brought that special element to bodyboarding that we all enjoyed to watch especially when he one against kainoa in the pipe final back in 1998 when he was riding that mez board when he had just lost his sponsor. Now im contemplating getting a vs mitch rawlins board because that guy is shredding and its good to see that some ozzies are surfing big shipsterns....would be good to check a few more bodyboarders checking the swell chart and going out in jaws...mike u a legend and a good oh...thanks to u and tom morey loads.
Reading through those comments was actually painful.
What everyone seems to be overlooking is that essentially, bodyboarding has about six maneuvers in total.
So obviously style is going to play a huge role in efficient and aesthetic bodyboarding.
Tiny things in bodyboarding start to come into effect. The claw in barrels looks rank, and it is only a matter of cm's in your wrist. The angle of your back elbow to your body is make-or-break as well. Tiny little intricacies are pivotal to good style.
Simply put, if there was no concept of style on a bodyboard, and it didn't matter, I would hang up the fins for good.
On one final note, generalizing a whole continent of bodyboarders as having a "gross style" is extreme fascism at the highest level. There is obviously going to be variation in every region you nine balls.

Hi Everyone,
I don't know how the hell I got pulled into this, I only wrote one comment which was posted at 01-Oct-2009 06:09 PM (the rest of the comments from my names are frauds).
For the record I love Guilherme's surfing, he's always been a hero of mine and a close friend and would never say anything bad about the guy. I agree that he's done way more for the sport than I ever have and probably will.
Here's a lesson for all of the whiz kids out there, type Jose Octavio into Youtube and see what you get. He's a guy from Brazil and the guy rips so so hard. Check his legit 720.
To Rafael Paes and Nando Calri, don't hate the player! I didn't write anything bad towards anyone.

Below the press release from IBA Australasia on what has become a credible and entertaining stop for the Australian Tour.
The fourth annual Knights Beach Pro has been held in epic surf, at the Knights Beach Wedge near Victor Harbor in South Australia.
Wave heights reached 1.5 metres during the day, this combined with the excess of sand build up on the beach made the notorious Knights wedge in fine form.
Winner Dallas Singer of Newcastle in NSW, seemed to have the Knights Beach wedge wired, cruising his way through the early round heats in style, which included a perfect 10 point ride.
In the final Dallas came head to head with Jake Stone, from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Stone, who was also in impeccable form, knocked out current world number two, Dave Winchester (NSW) in the semi-finals.
The pair went wave for wave in the final, however Singer managed to find the better wedges leaving Stone needing a combined wave total of 15.00 to clinch victory.
"I'm just relieved to finally win something on the tour, it had been so long since I won anything and it was nice that it was at knights which is so similar to a wave i usually surf back home".
"I was devastated looking at how good the conditions were when Winny (Dave Winchester) won it last year, so I made sure that I made it down here this year and it looks like it paid off.
"Everybody was surfing really well and I was lucky to scrape past Tom (Rigby) in my semi, I thought I'd lost it when he backflipped right in front of me when I was paddling back out and was pretty relieved when I heard the score come through.
"Then in the final Jake was biting at my heels the whole time but the waves really dropped out at the end there and when I saw Jake taking off his fins on the beach with a minute to go, I was ecstatic". said Singer
The win will put Singer in contention to win the 2009 Rebel Sport Pro Tour, which will conclude at Duranbah Beach from the ninth of November.
The event also coincided with the third and final round of the South Australian Bodyboarding State Titles.
The states best amateur riders had the opportunity to mix it with the cream of Australasian bodyboarding at their home break.
It was Lance Hurford of Port Elliott that narrowly nudged out an in form James Glade-wright of Victor Harbor.
The South Australian State Titles Team will now travel to Duranbah in Queensland in November for the RAW national titles.
The Knights Beach Pro 2009 is supported by: The Government of South Australia, South Australian Tourism Commission, The Office of Recreation and Sport - Be Active, Coopers Brewery, Swellnet, Surfing South Australia and the International Bodyboarding Association Australasia.
The end of school trip was to a beach some 90 minutes from my home. I'd come to the end of senior school and 11 of our class had arranged to meet at a beach house to unwind and celebrate. The mix? Four boys and 7 girls. All of us had now completed school. There weren't going to be any parents chaperoning as we were now legally adults. We'd arranged to meet on the Friday afternoon at the beach house, after gathering provisions to last for 7 days.
My mate Pete picked me up at lunchtime and we set off for the coast in his car. We'd bought our contribution of the supplies over the previous few days. Groceries, alcohol and a few rented movies for the night time entertainment. With the stress of finals behind us, this was going to be a great break. We had completed 13 years of schooling and now the summer had arrived. We were all old enough to drive, vote and buy alcohol. It was now time to have an adult style holiday, late nights partying and restful days soaking up the warm summer rays.
We swung into the driveway to find we weren't the first to arrive. Wendy's and Terri's cars were there already. It was a cracking hot day. Not a breath of wind, and the silence was pierced by the rasping cicadas in the gum trees nearby. Terri was the girl of my dreams, and of my heart. She was of average height and slim build. Her small bust complimented by a washboard flat, hard stomach and hips with just a slight womanly flare to them. She had shoulder length straight brown hair and her silky smooth skin had a light brown complexion. Whenever I saw her, my voice caught in my throat and my heart skipped a beat. Wendy was a tall red head with pale complexion. Her green eyes sparkled with a wicked sense of humor. She and Pete had a thing going on together and he was eager to search her out.
We walked into the front room and thought they must be out the back in the pool until Terri walked down the stairs from the left, apparently from the upstairs bathroom, buttoning up a white silk sleeveless top, giving me brief a glimpse of a pale blue satin bra covering her small pointy breasts. She threw her towel over the back of the chair, as she approached me with a welcoming hug. Her damp dark hair smelt of fresh peaches as she squeezed me just that little bit longer than I expected and then turned her face upwards, kissed me on the lips briefly and with a giggle said "Hi Dave! Great that you finally got here!" She turned to Pete, a couple of steps away and said "Hi Pete. How are you? Wendy's out the back by the pool. She'd love to know you're here." Funny, she didn't give Pete the welcome I got. I wonder what's going on there?
Pete left to walk out the back, leaving me with Terri in the lounge room. "Come and give me a hand in the bedroom for a minute Dave please?" she asked as she walked off up the stairs ahead of me. I can tell you I would get the award for the shyest guy in class, no, in the school. I had lots of friends but could never take a relationship to the next level, through plain fear. I followed Terri up the stairs, delighting in her tight little rear end clothed in a tiny pair of denim shorts, the kind made from tearing a pair of jeans off at the legs. As she rose up each tread ahead of me, her shorts would ride up to show the edge of brilliant white satin panties covering the delicate lower bump of her cheeks. I could make out the ultra fine hairs on the backs of her golden thighs. What I would give to be brave enough to reach up and gently run my fingertips across the crease between her thigh and her ass. Not to mention to lick up through that gap between the junctions of her legs. We entered the bedroom and I asked "What would you like help with?"
"Sit down here on the bed with me for a minute would you Dave? I want to talk to you about something. Well, actually about us."
Hell, this is the sort of situation that scares me. What if I say or do something stupid. I worship this girl but have never had the nerve to let her know of my feelings. She patted the king sized bed next to her as she sat down, facing the window. "Come on, I won't bite you know. Unless you want me to that is?" she giggled. I sat near her and she immediately slid across the foot or so separating us, meaning our thighs were actually touching. My cock sprung to life and I thought "This is going to kill me".
"David, look at me. I need to tell you something before this break at the beach house passes and is wasted. I have feelings for you. I know you do for me too. I see it in your eyes. I know how shy you are and I want you to know that I want to be your girl." I opened my mouth but nothing came out.
She reached up with her right hand and held my chin, pulling my face down gently towards her parted lips. She gave me the sweetest kiss I had known. A soft moan escaped from deep in my throat as I felt the tip of her tongue enter my mouth and run over the inside of my teeth, gently probing, searching, before retreating, and then the kiss was over. My head spun, tears welled in my eyes and I turned to look out the window, at pains to find the right thing to say.
"Tell me how you feel?" she softly asked, taking my hand in both of hers. I turned back to face her to find her face lowered, her eyes looking downwards.
"Terri, I think of you endlessly." I had decided to jump into the black depths of the unknown. If this came out wrong, then I could just leave and not face anyone for at least a week. "I watch you constantly; you are in my every dream. I never thought you could be interested in someone like me." I took a long, audibly shaky breath as she looked upwards, our eyes meeting in a deep trance. "I .... I ........ think ... I love you Terri. I could never find the way to tell you."
She rose and moved over to sit across my thighs, the heat of her legs pressing against my lap. Her slight arms reached around my neck. She turned her face to mine and repeated the kiss, this time tonguing me deeper. I tentatively let my tongue stroke inside her lips and felt her push her chest against mine in a sign of willing reception. Her hard nipples rubbed my chest as she pushed her body against mine. I stroked her back with my left palm as my right hand held the back of her fine neck. Eventually, it may have been minutes, I don't know, we parted and looked deeply into each others eyes. We both had tears running down our cheeks.
"Ok." She announced in a flippant manner, "Now that we've cleared that up, can you put my suitcase on top of the wardrobe out of the way and then we can begin a wicked week here together". I wondered what she meant by that and how I was going to disguise the tent in my pants as I lifted her case. Terri suggested "Don't hunch over, I know you're hard, I felt it when I was sitting on you. I love it. Don't be ashamed." We left the bedroom and descended the stairs to go out into the yard. Stepping through the large sliding glass door, I was confronted with a fantastic entertainment area. To the left was a gas barbecue and table with seating for ten. Nearby was a hot tub almost big enough to swim in and to the right was a sparkling swimming pool surrounded by ferns, a waterfall and beautiful palms. Behind the pool was a small guest house with an external shower hanging from the outside wall.
Pete and Wendy were sitting in the shallow end, each holding a beer deep in conversation. I looked behind me and couldn't see Terri anywhere so I approached the two in the pool. Wendy gave me a knowing smile asking rhetorically "So what have you two been up to?"
"Hi Wendy. Thanks for letting us stay here in your parents shack. It's so cool. Hey, Pete, where's the beer mate?" I asked.
"In the fridge, next to the barbeque. What a great beach house eh? Can you put some music on while you're there? The stereo is next to the fridge."
I turned the volume up to find the local radio station pumping out some Doobie Brothers. Fantastic. Turning back with a beer from the fridge, I heard a splash from the spa and saw Terri in there beckoning to me. I walked over to the spa and placed the beer on the side, removed my shirt and thongs and climbed in across from her. Evidently she had been back inside to change into her bikini. She looked hot, her eyes sparkling in the reflections from the water, her short hair shining in the sunlight. She had on a metallic black halter neck top with shoe string straps. I could only see the distorted view of her bottoms through the bubbling water and could only tell that they to were black. As soon as I was seated in the opposite corner with my legs stretched toward her, she rose slightly and slowly waded towards me, straddling my legs, until her crotch bumped into my stomach. She settled in my lap and bent her head to kiss me. I reached around her with both hands and stroked down her muscled back to cradle her bum in my hands. I discovered her bikini bottoms had ridden up her crack and left her hard cheeks exposed. I felt her giggle into my mouth at my exploration. Our lips parted and she reached to the spa edge and drank some of my beer. I watched as a small water droplet ran slowly down her throat, gathering other droplets along the way, pausing at the depression at the base of her neck as she swallowed before quickly running down across the rise of her right breast and into the cloth resting just above the bump in her top where her hard nipple was poking out. She placed the bottle neck into my mouth for me to swallow deeply. As Terri reached past me to place the bottle back on the edge, her breast wavered in front of my eyes no more than 5cm in front of me. I did something I never would have even considered before. I leant forward slightly and licked across the slight swell of her breast. Terri twisted to allow my tongue to slip down under the cloth and flick across her nub. She moaned and pulled my face against her. I looked up at her and she said smiling "See, I don't bite."
It was then we heard a commotion coming from inside the house so Terri slipped off my lap to sit next to me. The door slid open and the others walked out laughing at some joke that had just completed. John, Denise and Annette came outside and we all greeted each other, excited about the week we were to share. John told us "The others won't be coming as Allan's won 4 tickets to a concert and so they planned to go together. Wendy replied "Oh well, that'll help with the sleeping arrangements as we would have been a bit cramped with 11 here".
The three recent arrivals went back inside to unpack. Terri and I sat back in the spa together, her left leg draped over my right thigh and my right arm holding her close as she rested her head on my chest.
Wendy and Pete appeared at the edge of the spa with drinks for us both. They climbed in opposite us, Wendy exclaiming "Come on you two, there'll be plenty of time for that kind of thing later!" She continued "So Dave, you know Terri and I have been planning this gathering for months now. I can't tell you how excited Terri's been about you being here with her."
I looked across to Terri to see her upper chest and face flushed red in embarrassment. I hadn't realised that this girl of my dreams could be plotting how to get to be with me in a beach house for a week. I slid my right hand under her ass and lifted her onto my lap with an affectionate hug to finish the move. She ever so slightly wiggled backwards into my groin until my hardened cock nestled into the gap between her upper thighs, millimeters below her pussy. With the spa bubbling away, it wasn't possible for anyone to see what was happening beneath the surface. Terri reached between her legs and pulled the leg of my swimmers aside, releasing my cock which immediately sprung up to brush against her mons, separated only by the thin lycra of her bikini pants. She checked across the spa to find Wendy and Pete in a deep session of French kissing and most likely some sub aquatic action as well, as indicated by Wendy's movements on top of Pete's lap. Terri thrust her tongue into my mouth as she pressed my cock against her slit and started a gentle rise and fall to enable my cock head to rub on her clit. I tentatively reached across her flat stomach to hold her tightly to me, my hand a fraction below her right breast. She grasped my wrist and slid my hand upwards and towards her neck before sliding my hand back towards her breast with my fingers slipping inside the delicate bikini top. Her firm little breast felt like nothing I had experienced before, just a slight rise which fitted perfectly within my hand. The nipple puckered into a small cylindrical nub which I slid my palm across before returning to pinch it gently and roll it between my fingertips. Terri's response was to almost growl into my mouth as she began to tug more forcefully on my cock. We were both breathing very heavily by this stage but our actions were totally ignored by the others, busy with similar activities. I pushed my right hand down the back of her pants, grazing her anus as I slipped past in search of her virginal opening. She arched her back a little to confirm it was ok for me to continue and to give easier access. My middle fingertip found the flattened rear part of her nubile lips and dipped just inside. Terri turned my head and thrust her tongue into my ear. The sensations quickly defeated any teenage control I thought might have existed. My groin pressed upwards in a reflex action as I began to ejaculate. Terri's grip hardened on my cock. I sucked on her shoulder as jet after jet shot against her mons as she whispered into my ear "Yes my baby, let it go. Let it all go."
I slumped back against the molded seat and Terri let her body float off my lap, to lie along my right side, half on top of me. This meant my right hand bumped up against her mound. When this happened, Terri pressed her hips hard against me, jamming my hand between her pussy and my hip. She released the pressure, sure that I had understood her meaning when she felt my fingers running along the waistband of her pants. She brought her right knee across my stomach as my fingers slipped under the small triangle and down across her sparse pubic region. Being in the water, her fine hairs were almost imperceptible. Terri mewed into my ear as my fingers brushed up and down over her mound and then she gave a little grunt of impatience to let me know she needed me to reach lower. I curled my middle three fingers around to follow her curve and then pressed slightly harder. This resulted in my finger slipping into her crease and my adjacent fingers padding her lips. I began a slow dragging motion back and forth, being conscious to keep contact with her clit as much as possible. She started a rhythmic rocking of her hips, matching my actions in opposite directions. I could feel the slippery juices leaking from her. Each time she thrust forward, my middle finger slid across her opening and she elicited a breathy moan against my neck. Her right heel hooked around my hips and the next thrust resulted in my finger popping inside her for the first time. She froze and I stopped breathing. Perhaps ten seconds passed before she exhaled and she whispered hoarsely into my ear, "Goooooooooddddd, that is divine." I thought she had been shocked into stopping what we were doing.
I reached in further and curled my finger upwards and pressed firmly, stroking her G spot. Terri's movements against my palm sped up with her panting. Her arms tightened around my neck and she groaned into my shoulder as she climaxed. Her humping transformed into a languid, fluid flexing as I waited for the pulsations to cease, before I slid my finger out and dragged my fingertips through her little bush. We hugged each other in a tight full body embrace and kissed passionately.
We looked around and discovered we were alone. Evidently the others had at some stage climbed out and gone inside. "Dave, that was so exciting. Thank you" Terri said.
"God Terri, you made me go off like a cracker."
"Yes, I didn't know that would happen. I've never done anything like this before."
"We'd better go inside and see what's happening."
Terri rose from the water in front of me and climbed out of the spa. Her tight ass with the sparkling sheen from the water triggered the beginning of another erection until I started to do some mathematical tables in my mind. I joined her beside the spa and we toweled each other down, both of us stealing a little grope when the opportunity arose. I followed her inside and we found everyone sitting around the table having a drink and eating some fruit. Terri and I sat down joining Pete, Wendy, John, Annette and Denise. It was just getting dark outside so we figured some fruit would get us through to dinner. We were all pretty mellow after the first few drinks and decided we could prepare a more solid meal later.
With the fruit demolished and the drinks flowing freely, John announced "Well, who's up for a swim? I haven't had a go at the pool yet. Let's go."
Terri, Wendy, Pete and I still had our swimmers on so we headed straight out. John stripped to his briefs and dived in. We quickly followed but then realised Annette and Denise still hadn't joined us. We looked back to the patio to find the two of them giggling as they removed their tops. Annette, with quite large breasts, had a full cup underwire bra of white lace supporting her. Denise, of slight build had a half cup dark blue satin bra on which perfectly complimented her flawless creamy complexion. Denise then reached to her side to unzip her black stretch mini before peeling it down over her shapely thighs. As she did this she deliberately turned away from us to give us a breathtaking view of her deliciously firm ass when she bent to push the skirt below her knees. Pete, John and I clapped as she gave her butt a little wiggle, showing off her matching high cut panties, stretching across her cheeks. Annette meanwhile had sat in a chair to unbutton her jeans and peel them off. When she stood, she revealed she had on some white cotton lace panties which looked quite feminine until she did a quick spin, revealing that they were a devilish G string. The two girls promptly ran and jumped straight in, cutting short our viewing opportunity.
Terri pressed herself against my back as she reached around to my crotch to find I was hard again. "Enjoying the view are we?" she asked softly.
"I ... I ...... well ...... I ...."
"Don't worry my love" she interrupted as she scooted her hand inside my swimmers, "there'll be plenty more skin to see all week."
With Terri and I occupied and Pete and Wendy beginning a passionate kiss, Denise suggested "Let's have a game of cock fights."
This was an old favorite of kids our age. People paired off and one sat on the shoulders of the other. The object was to push the opponents over. The last pair standing was the winner. Of course it was preferable to have mixed couples and scantily clad girls were always a bonus to compete with. Terri stood with her legs parted so I could approach her from behind, underwater, and place my head between her thighs before standing up. Pete did the same with Wendy, John lifted Annette clear and Denise called "Ok, 1 minute round starts NOW!"
John headed straight towards Pete, the closest target and the girls locked arms in a tight battle. Pete and Wendy had them walking backwards as Terri and I approached. Terri grabbed Annette's bra strap as she brushed past and I put my right foot behind John's legs, easily tripping him over. Annette resurfaced with her bra hanging from her raised right hand, her breasts proudly thrust forward, with droplets cascading from hard pink nipples. She exclaimed "It's much more comfortable without this thing anyway. Who's thirsty?" Her nipples were rock hard, and the water wasn't cold. She was obviously quite excited. Her breasts jiggled firmly as she climbed the ladder to go and get drinks for us all.

Pete with Wendy above him now waded towards us. I stepped to the right just as Wendy made a lunge for us but she caught Terri's bikini strap on the way past and pulled us over backwards. Terri surfaced, coughing up a little water. Denise proclaimed "Hail the winners. A kiss for the winners." She approached John and kissed him full on the mouth for maybe twenty seconds. She abruptly turned to Wendy and then planted a deep kiss on Wendy's mouth, Wendy's hands waving momentarily in the air in a slight protest before wrapping her arms around Denise and holding her until the finish. Terri tapped me on the shoulder and said "And a kiss for the runners-up" as she reached around my neck and softly brushed her lips across mine. Twice more our lips met in a brief exchange before we consumed each other in a soul deep passionate embrace.
"Here's the drinks" interrupted Annette, standing behind a row of beers placed along the edge for us. We all turned to look at her standing above us on the pool edge. I'm not sure she was aware that her cotton panties had turned transparent and she now appeared almost naked. A thin blonde landing strip could just be made out above her slit, matching her sandy short hair. Denise explained the silence to her "You know you're showing everything to us?"
"Oh my god!" she answered when she looked down at her crotch. She turned to go inside when Wendy called "Turn off the switch next to the door Net!" She did so and the outdoor lights dimmed and went off. The underwater lights weren't on either so it left only the moonlight to illuminate our surroundings. A splash revealed that Annette had dived back in.
We lined up along the pool edge, resting our arms on the paving as we had our beers. As I got towards the end of mine, I knew I had to pee. "I've gotta go pee, be back in a minute." I said as I climbed out. I went inside and turned on the hall light so I could find my way. As I came back out, I turned the light out again and stepped out onto the patio. It had become pitch black. The moon had gone behind some clouds and I couldn't see a thing. I followed the splashing sound to approach the pool when a voice came out of the darkness "We're playing tip and you're it! No one is allowed out of the pool and when you get tipped, you have to remove an article of clothing."
"Well it won't take long for any of us to get naked will it?" I challenged, jumping in when I felt the pool edge under my toes. I spun around quickly with my arms spread but couldn't find anyone. I realised they couldn't see me just as I couldn't see them so I stealthily went towards the edge before slowly going clockwise around the perimeter with my right arm reaching inwards. I could hear someone just ahead breathing heavily so I slowed my approach. I had an enormous hard on, wondering, hoping it would be one of the girls. A slight ripple gave away the distance as being only slight as I edged closer. My outstretched palm felt a muscled back as I slid my hand laterally. I encountered a strap, confirming that it was a girl. I lunged and wrapped both arms around her before I realised she would be sure to feel my hardness bump into her. I closed my hands completely around her and guessed the two sweet breasts under my hands belonged to Denise.
"Ooooooooooooh, I'm it now" she exclaimed as she twisted and thrust her right leg between mine. Likewise, my right thigh had gone between her thighs and she humped back and forth forcefully, sliding her mound up my leg. She briefly caught my mouth with a wet kiss and I think I felt her tongue dart quickly in my mouth and back before I could be sure.
"You have to remove some clothes Denise" called Wendy from some distance away. I backed up away from her and bumped into Annette behind me. She hugged me from behind before sliding both hands down my abs and flattened her palms out to slide straight into my crotch "Shhhhhhhhhhhh. We have to be quiet to play this game well" she whispered into my right ear. I could feel her nipples poking into my back. I struggled with some turmoil - I'm with Terri - this shouldn't be happening. Just as she grasped my cock I turned in her arms and pushed away towards the centre of the pool.
"You're it now Wendy. And you know what the rules are." Wendy only had a red one piece on, so the stakes were climbing. There was soon a naked contestant in the water searching for victims.
Only a matter of seconds later, Pete cried "Ok you got me Wendy, don't squeeze so hard."
We laughed, imagining where she was squeezing. Pete's swimmers made a slap as they landed on the poolside. "Here I come" he warned all of us.
I thought I heard him approaching so I submerged and swam blindly across the pool. I bumped into a pair of soft hairless legs of the female type. Two hands reached down to grasp my shoulders and lift me to the surface. The presence of a bikini meant I'd found Terri as she was the only fully clothed girl left. We immediately met in a writhing, breath stealing kiss. Both of us were getting extremely turned on, as I'm sure were the others with this erotic hide and seek. Just as our mouths separated, Pete spoke from right behind us, "You're it now."
Terri giggled "I was a bit distracted. Help me off with my top Dave?" I reached behind her and pulled on the knot, loosening the top. She lifted it over her head and flung it towards the spa where it slapped onto the concrete. She grabbed my head between her hands and maneuvered my mouth to cover her right nipple. I sucked almost the whole breast into my mouth as she pushed her bikini pants into my right hand. Before I realised she was now naked, she turned and swam away in search of an opponent. I was left standing, grinning like an idiot at what had just happened. And, like an idiot, I didn't move. Terri had back tracked and immediately grabbed my crotch and yelled "Got you!" I laughed "You sure do" and reached down to remove my trunks. Too slow though as she had them off and thrown clear of the water before I could move. A thrashing of water told me she had swam off immediately. So, John, Annette and Denise all had one article left. I slid silently through the water to the shallow end with a plan of systematically sweeping the pool from one end to the other. When I reached the wall, I could feel rhythmic waves splashing the side of my head. I turned in that direction and could faintly make out two figures rocking back and forth together in the corner of the pool. Soon the waves turned to splashes and we all heard a guttural groan come from Annette's mouth followed by
"Nnnnggggghhhhhhhh yeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss" through clenched teeth as an orgasm racked through her. I reached out to touch her arm just as John groaned "Ohhhhhhh fuck, ooooohhhhhhh fuck, mmmmmphhh yes." I pulled my arm back and waited a minute, hearing the others giggling at the far end, before reaching out to touch one of them, yell
"You're it!" and then swim quickly away.
"Well, we're already naked, so no harm done." John happily laughed.
The rest of us were thirsty again and so we found Denise standing in the corner and yelled to John while we held her "Here she is, waiting for you Johnno." Wendy and Pete had hold of an arm each. Terri and I had an ankle each. We floated her toward the centre of the pool on her back like a virginal offering to the gods. John swam under her and from beneath, pulled the string ties on her pants and pulled them down across her pussy before flinging them away into the darkness.
"Drinks!" we all yelled almost in synch.
Denise was the winner, being the last one naked. She could choose who had to leave the water to get the drinks. "I'll have to go myself. I've gotta take a pee" she announced. She was half way up the pool ladder when a crack of lightning split the sky, illuminating a tight shiny arse you could crack an egg on. I swear in that instant, I could make out a wet, shiny, shaved little pussy, peeking through the small heart shaped opening formed by her shapely cheeks. Then a booming crackle of the thunder arrived as she ran towards the house eliciting a squeal of surprise.
We quickly decided the pool wasn't the place to hang out in when a thunderstorm was so close. We all climbed out and ran naked inside. The stack of towels was decimated by scrabbling hands trying to recover some form of modesty, now that we were exposed by the comparatively bright lights inside. We sat around the table and opened another round of beers.
"Cheers to a great week" Pete proclaimed, thrusting his beer into the air. We all followed suit and chugged a good deal of the drinks in celebration.
"I need to shower Wendy, what are the bedroom and bathroom arrangements?" John asked.
There was a distinct silent pause enveloping the room. Wendy let out a nervous cough to clear her throat before beginning "Well, Pete and I have the master bedroom." She looked around at each of us to gauge any negative reaction before continuing "Terri has asked me could she have Dave share the second bedroom upstairs with her." I felt Terri give my thigh a firm squeeze.
"That leaves John, Annette and Denise to share the two remaining bedrooms any way they care. One is here downstairs and the other is the guesthouse out by the pool. The guesthouse has a bathroom so that is the better choice of the two."
"John and I will take the guesthouse." announced Annette. John turned to her with a surprised look on his face soon followed by a huge grin.
"Then I'll have the downstairs bedroom" volunteered Denise. "We're all done then" she said in a matter of fact manner, allaying any concerns that she might feel left out, being the only un-partnered person.
Wendy continued "You three guys have some steaks to barbeque while we girls get cleaned up for dinner. There's a salad in the fridge and the steaks are on the sink ready to cook."
Annette and Denise left to the guesthouse together and Wendy and Terri went upstairs. John, Peter and I took the steaks outside and started them sizzling. We also managed to find our swimmers and put them on instead of struggling with the towels wrapped around us. When the steaks were done, we went back to the kitchen and organized the salad. One by one the girls appeared. Wendy skipped down the stairs in a pair of ¾ jeans and a pink singlet top revealing a gold charm dangling from her belly button. Denise walked in from the back door with a pair of white hot pants and a sleeveless black t shirt about 2 sizes too small for her. Her delicate braless upturned breasts grabbing our attention. Annette followed soon after in a floral patterned sun dress. Not so exciting until we noticed that at least 5 buttons from the lower hem upwards were not done up. As she strode in, we would get the occasional silver flash of a pair of tight satin panties, hugging her mound. Everything was ready when I looked up the staircase to see Terri coming down. She had a stretch lycra black mini skirt on with a blue checked button up shirt, knotted below her small breasts. She looked delicious. I caught a glimpse of white lace between her thighs as she came down the stairs. I met her at the bottom step and gave her a tender kiss before escorting her to the table.
The girls sat along one side of the table opposite us three guys. We all tucked in to a delicious meal, washed down with a few bottles of cider. The sound of large raindrops could be heard landing on the patio roof. Occasional flashes of lightning could be seen reflecting on the walls inside briefly followed by the boom of the thunder. It was getting late when we finished eating. Half way through cleaning up, the power dropped out. "It's probably a tree across the power lines somewhere" declared Wendy. "It often happens during storms. It'll be fixed by the morning most likely. I'll break out the candles." She returned from the pantry with a box of large candles and some boxes of matches. She took four of the candles and a box of matches and took Terri's hand and said to Pete and me "You boys come up in five minutes. We'll set the candles up." Denise stood and walked off quietly to the downstairs bedroom while John and Annette walked outside hand in hand before running towards the guesthouse to avoid getting soaked.
Pete started upstairs saying "I'm going to shower in the ensuite. You can use the upstairs bathroom Dave".
I followed him up and turned into the bathroom at the start of the hallway. I stripped off my swimmers and stepped under the steaming hot water. It felt wonderful but I had a stomach full of butterflies thinking about what was about to transpire. No more than three minutes later, I'd finished washing and stepped out of the shower. The house was silent as I briskly rubbed myself dry.
I wrapped the towel around my waist and quietly pushed the bedroom door open. I could see a candle flickering on each bedside table but discovered the bed unwrinkled and undisturbed as I stepped in. As I turned to close the door, Terri reached around my waist from behind and kissed my right shoulder as she pressed her chest into my back. "What's been keeping you gorgeous?"
I turned and pushed her away to arms length so I could look at her. In an instant she took my breath away. Her cheeks had a glow, her hair was brushed back. From her delicate bronzed shoulders on shoe string straps hung a flowing white satin nightdress to just below her knees. Her slight breasts were capped by tight hard nipples, invitingly upturned and poking the material out in two sharp bumps. I slowly pulled her to me and we kissed deeply. Long and moist. Parting briefly, I said "Terri I love you" before joining at the lips again to continue the oral wrestling match our tongues were involved in. Terri stepped away while still holding my left hand in her right as she took the three steps to the bed. She released my hand and gave the towel a short jerk. I physically didn't flinch but my mental state jumped. Terri's glowing face gave in to a soft smile as she pushed the string off her left shoulder followed by the right one. Her nightdress slipped silently into a puddle around her ankles. She stood before me in her high cut white lace G string. I took a deep shaking breath as I admired her slim athletic form before me. She turned slowly on her toes like a ballerina before sliding into the bed. She held the sheet open and beckoned for me to follow. I swear I almost came just from the look on her face. As I slipped in beside her I could smell her musky excitement. I softly ran my palm around her left shoulder and then across her breast, cupping it easily in my right palm as I stroked across the nipple with my thumb. I bent to capture her right nipple in my mouth, circling her delicate nipple with my tongue. My right hand continued down across her flat tummy to run my fingers over the lacy panel stretched snuggly over her mound. I could feel the heat radiating from between her moist lips. She pulled her left knee up and to the side as she pushed my hand down between her thighs. Her crotch was damp with anticipation and my cock left a slimy trail across her hip as I slipped down lower to kiss her panty covered womanhood.
I licked along the exposed left side of her crotch across the tendon leading down the inside of her thigh. Inhaling deeply "Nghhhhhhh" I groaned in pleasure at the intimate perfume emanating from her moist depths. I covered her pussy with my mouth and sucked the wet gusset of her G string as much into my mouth as I could.
"Ooooohhhhhhh" Terri cried and thrust her mons harder up into my mouth.
I kissed up over the top of her G string as I brought my right hand up under her right leg and ran my fingertips up and down her slit before pinching her wet lips together and rubbing them back and forth against each other.
"God Terri you're beautiful" I offered as I admired her hard body. Her breasts were set high on her chest and heaved with her gasping breath. Her panties had become so wet that my fingers produced a squishing sound as I ran my fingertips up and down her slit. Occasionally I would linger over and around her tiny clit until suddenly Terri wrapped both arms around my neck and pulled me to her in a forceful, crushing kiss. I continued stroking her clit as she squealed into my mouth and her body thrust upwards in a draining orgasm. I held her tight as her body convulsed strongly in the throes of young pleasure. As she began to relax, I softened my strokes and then lay beside her on my side just holding her close as her body spasms dwindled.
"David, that was out of this world. I have never felt so alive." She sucked the skin on the side of my neck gently. "I love you." Her tongue poked quickly into my ear. "I want to give myself to you. I am ready. Would you make love to me?" she softly enquired.
"There is nothing more on this earth I would rather do. Are you sure we should do this?"
Terri pushed my shoulder to cause me to roll onto my back. She rolled on top of me, trapping my cock between her hard stomach and mine. She slid down slightly before sitting up and looking down at my crotch, sitting just in front of hers. She had a string of pre cum stretching from her navel to the head of my cock. She giggled as she spun her index finger in it before sucking it deeply into her mouth. She rose up on her knees and shuffled forward slightly before sitting down with her pussy against my cock. Her wet panties were hot and smooth as she began a forward, backward motion, her lips separating to hug the ridge along the underside of my cock.
"Ohhhhhh Teeeerrriii! You better stop that sooon!" I pleaded, attempting to hold her slim hips to stop the motion before I exploded. She sensed my predicament and rolled off onto her back. I lay back trying to cool off and realised she was removing her G string. She pulled it over her delicate feet and rolled back on top of me, placing the wet crotch of her G string over my mouth. Just as I licked at the wet gusset, she backed onto the tip of my cock and pushed ever so slightly. Her pussy opened slightly to leak moisture over the flared head of my hard purple head. "Nnnnggghhhhhh ooohhhhhhh darling" I responded. She lowered her face to mine as we shared a deep soft kiss, during which she pushed back again to let my cock snap inside her opening.
"Aaaarrrrghhhh" Terri threw her head back in ecstasy as I held her small breasts, trying to resist thrusting up. I let her dictate the speed as I drank in her beauty. She soon rose a little and I felt another small flood of moisture leak out, to slowly run down my shaft. Terri pushed back again and almost half my shaft slid up into her tight sheath, the tunnel grasping and releasing in delightful pulsations. The next time Terri moved forward, my cock popped out, she quickly grasped it with her right hand and rubbed her clit briskly before placing it back between her sweet lips to push back again. This time ¾ of my cock disappeared inside her hot body and she stopped to look me in the eyes. We met in another soft kiss as she pushed down ever so slowly, her pussy accepted more and more until the last of my cock entered her and to make sure, she wiggled her hips until she could feel my balls pressed against her anus.
"Ohhhhhhhh fuck ..... that is so incredible." I breathed.
"This is for you now my lover, all for you. You don't have to do a thing. I'm going to fuck you until you explode" Terri explained looking straight into my eyes as she started a slow rise and fall motion.
She rose perhaps once each three seconds - a speed verging on torture but oh so pleasurable. Soon, my hips began meeting hers on the down stroke and our mutual understanding sped up the action. Before I had thrust fully into her maybe fifteen times, I cried "Terri, I'm going to come so soon. Ohh god you are so beautiful. Mmmmmmm my love".
She reached behind her small tight arse to stroke my balls as I raised my hips off the bed three more times before I felt my seed racing from my groin to shoot out deep inside her. I spasmed .... then again ... and again ....... and again, each pulse sending more cum up inside her hot pussy. As my thrusts decreased in strength, she laid her body on mine, her face fitting lovingly beneath my chin as she squeezed her pussy to massage my cock as it relaxed a little from my climax.

I lightly stroked her toned back as we both drifted off into a peaceful shared blissful sleep, my cock at sometime during the night softening and slipping out of her genital embrace.
Author's note: I think there is more of this story in my head so I've called this story Chapter 1. Encouraging messages will probably hasten chapter two from my head to the computer.
