P:ersonalised board art done with a texta has been with the sport from almost day one. Back in the 70′s Hawaiian charger Danial Kaimi wrote “Till death do us part” on his board. Ever since there has been a continuous amount of customised graffiti ranging from works of art, to backyard scribble to even Mullet Dogs care of Paul Roach. Below Hawaiian bodyboarder Jason Lau shows of his early 90′s masterpiece. Photo Grambeau.

Pat Caldwell and JP Patterson both used a reverse hand style when trimming that Pat called The Wounded Duck style. At the time 4 time world champ Mark Richards was labelled the Wounded Gull for his unique approach. Photo below captures Pat in Mexico leaning forward and displaying the reverse arm position.Image by Fillipi.
