This Elemnophee advertisement would have to be one of the strangest marketing ventures ever when selling bodyboards. Swirlies for everyone. I guess when you have Sean Virtue riding for you you can sell any shit. Thats not to say Elo’s boards are crap, far from it.

The Smor-gas-board video was the follow title to the very popular Boogie Knights movie by John Mckinney. The new VHS vid was more of the same, mixing red hot action with commedy skitsthis time around introducing us to the legendary Bubba. Starring Maligro, Harnsberger, Jacob Reeves and all the top pro’s, it hit the market around 2000 just before DVD’s took over from tapes.
