Styroboarding - doing the wakeskate!

Dear fhMacGyver´s... this is about riversurfing & wakeskating (& surfing in general) and started for me a few years ago when I moved from Vienna to Steyr ...

Our -so called- "Styroboard" is light weight, strong and clean, easy to handle and ideal for rendering. Accurate straight cuts and complicated profiles are very easy to achieve by using hot-wire, saw or knife.

Well, this is not a very high devoloped construction. It´s fun because it´s that simple. It has not strap inserts, no pads, nor fins. The rider feedback has determined this board be nicer than any other board build for this improvised discripline !

Surfers live on a different planet

The breaking wave is an interesting motive -
and surfing such a profoundly visual act -, that it´s not surprising that surf art and surf photography has become a powerful, hyper-specialised genre.
Yet the act of heé nalu, or wave sliding, is as organic and expressionistic as it is visual. Capable surf art - and there´s plenty of it - takes our collective vision of surfing to some deep places. To paraphrase Robert Hughes, it has particular address to our spirit.

The music of the sea...

Let´s get one thing straight. Everywhere in the world that has a coastline, and everywhere on this planet´s watery surface that is effected by swell patterns and wind directions (that is, everywhere), everywhere there are waves.

These waves are born as a confluence of barometric pressure and winds whose genesis is of somewhere unknowable and indefinable; if not in the imgagination of the omnipotent. An infinitesimally small proportion of these gifts of the gods are ridable. Most are destined to remain forever elusive.
