2857 | 04 Nov 2004 | Marcus Bockman | Torrance | United States | The pipe contest (bodyboarding) is something I've been looking forward to every year since I was in 7th grade (6 years ago). I'm in my freshman year of college now in California, and I appreciate all forms of pipe surfing--BODYBOARDING, bodysurfing, surfing, kneeboarding, longboarding, anyone I left out I'm sorry you kick tail out there also! I think every board has its place out there, and every type of board has a select group of riders that deserve their top spot in the heirarchy.
I know that surfing contests, at the moment, bring in much more cash to the state of Hawai'i than bodyboarding currently does, but let's lay that aside. Bodyboarding is a high performance sport JUST LIKE SURFING, and surfing has a plethora of contests at Pipe every year. Please, anyone that has any say in this, consider this:
*** remember the first time you rode a wave? Remember what you were riding on? Chances are, it was a "boogie board" that someone pushed you into a wave on into the white wash. Remember that bodyboard was fun then--and for many people it still is! Bodyboarding can be just as entertaining as surfing; its all in the perspective of the rider.
Every board has a feeling that goes along with it. Bodyboards provide one of the best rides around--and can be ridden by those from complete novice to reef break pro.
Think about it, and then decide. ***
Sincerely,
Marc Bockman |

2854 | 04 Nov 2004 | Anthony Lopez | Victorville | United States | Pipe is the key event of our sport. It's like talking away Wimbledon in Tennis, the Super Bowl for Football, World Cup for Soccer. To not have the pipe event would not only anger many, but also disappoint many others |

2832 | 04 Nov 2004 | Darren Bridges | Chesapeake | United States | Bodyboarding has been a part of my life for four years. The Pipe contest is the crowning achievement in our sport today, and it is something that I and every bodyboarder have looked up to with awe and respect. Taking this contest away is taking away a staple of bodyboarding that could never be replaced. I hope the City of Honolulu can reconsider this decision and give bodyboarding the time it deserves to show the rest of the world that the sport is progressing and that Hawaii will remain in the sport's positive limelight. Thank you. |
