Where Did Bodyboarding Go? (article)

Another one from my Road Runner Hawaii surf column. Leave a comment under Visitor Feedback if you like:
Where Did Bodyboarding Go?

What is the current state of the bodyboarding? Why?
Stewart: "It's actually really healthy. Bodyboarders are riding for the right reasons, definitely not for the money or vanity. They ride bodyboards for the simple reason we all started riding waves - for the fun. Think how much better the surfing experience could be if everyone cultivated this mindset when they shared a line up."...

Body Boarding went to Puerto Rico. The island where BB'ers outnumber surfboarders 6:1

It's not uncommon to arrive at a spot and see 3 surfers and 18 body boarders.

ARRRRRGG...

And dont get me wrong body boarding can be fun, in fact I have one in my trunk with my fins--always ready for a quick session when its not convenient to go home get my surfboard.
