|
|
I have been looking for a body gun. I have been told that they are really fun. I already have and old body board, but I would like to try something new. It doesn't have to be in the best shape. I can replace the webbing at the company I work for (www.Strapworks.com). I could probably even get the hardware if I had a picture of what it looks like.
I have no idea what one would run, but I am open to hear what one would go for. I would also love to hear any tips on using one, if it is very different from a body board. |

The only person I have communicated with who has actually tried one is Jay Reale of ebodyboarding.com. He didn't care for it at all, but then he was an elite bodyboarder too...
I can't get the idea out of my mind that something like that would/might be fun to at least try. Memory serves me fairly well - I think Toobs out of Morro Bay California made them under liscense or contract for the guys in England. That would be the only U.S. source of info I can think of...and if that doesn't pan out then I guess your best bet is the guys in the UK.
Good luck. If you get to give one a try please report! More data for the data banks... |

this is the web site, they'll be able to help, i'll keep my eyes open on UK eaby too
quick question, would a hand board enhance the performance of a body gun? admittedly you'd look like you were policing a G8 summit but would it help? |

PaipoJim and his buddy Andy have riddent the bodygun. Think Andy is the more frequent rider and Jim might be figuring out how to make a variation. _________________ rodNDtube
