The World Bellyboard Championships

Posted on August 30th, 2011 in inkydeep by inkydeep

Sunday 4 September sees the ninth World Bellyboard Championships taking place at Chapel Porth in Cornwall.

It is thought that the British ply bellyboard may have been copied from Hawaiian Paipo boards. This National Trust event has previously attracted over 200 entrants from as far a field as Australia and San Francisco.  More on the event can be found on the events website – http://www.bellyboarding.co.uk/

The joy of proning in on ply bellyboards is told in the wonderful short surf film “The Life of Ply”;
