Bodyboard - 41 anos





"One day in Kona I was with Tom and his first soft bodyboard (shown here in this picture). I asked him when was this made? He gave me a rough year and so I looked at the news print that had been transferred onto the foam and found the date July 5 1971. We figured the newspaper had been lying around for a couple days and so the creation date is July 7 1971" - - Mike Stewart


Segundo a lenda viva, Mike Stewart, faz precisamente hoje 41 anos desde a construção da primeira prancha de bodyboard, própriamente dita!

O N.B.Z.M envia um forte abraço a todos os bodyboarders!!! Continuem a desfrutar deste "estilo de vida"!!!


Para comemorar, aqui fica um video, que apesar de não ser novo, espelha na perfeição o espírito do bodyboard!!
