I boogied all through middle and high school. Loved it. Things I remember:
DK written across my school binders.
Surfing Maks after school
Turbosurf - Your bodyboarding HQ. On Kapahulu. Gone now
Mike stewart science boards.
Ballistic bodyboards
Toobs blunt cuts - Still have an old all blue pair that I scored in the used bin at Frog House for $10
Redley fins
Vipers
Kicks - Big deal when they came out
BSD Boards
Riders I remember:
Danny Kim
Kainoa McGee - DK in huge toobs at Pipeline playing on Channel 16 (Hawaii guys know)
Mike Stewart
Paul Roach
Hubbard brothers
Won Ton - Seems to be a bit off now days based on his insta
Part of it was I was too broke to buy a surfboard. Parents definitely weren't going to get me one. Eventually saved enough birthday money to buy some real bodyboard fins in 6th grade and I was all set. You don't need a super nice board to have fun. I didn't have a real surfboard until I was 20 and had enough saved to buy one.
