When Eppo busted out his big aerial moves his wide bow leg stance which he claimed helped cushion his landing earnt the knickname frog airs. When you regularily got as high as Eppo you need all the help you can get to achieve those injury free smooth landings. This flight pic was taken at D Bah in Queensland by Chris Stroh mid 90′s.

One of bodyboardings true characters Youngy was part of the Skid Kid rebellion in Oz that changed the course the sport was heading in Australia in 1990. Youngy and his Cronulla mates hated the small wave spin to win comps and it was their dedication that the  Shark Island Challenge and other hardcore wave events killed off the small wave arenas which are now are thing of the past.
