Surfing Waves

Last year whilst down in Devon once again- (honorary birthplace!)....

I was in a small surf shop, mainly hardware, boards etc, and they had polystyrene boards?! about 5ft 6" i would say, leash attatched and all... made by spider.

never come across them before... (have only been surfing a maybe 3 years now, am still only little!) and was just wondering... why, what etc?!

thanks....

Me and my brother had polystyrene ones when we were kids. Mine broke after I slammed into a wall on it when I was about 13. Don't think it was meant for kids over the age of 5 lol
