Talk:Bodyboarding

message: Someone is messing with these pages, trying to show that some Leio Gai is of some importance to bodyboarding. This is pure vandalism. The author is trying to promote perhaps himself or a friend. I´ll be reverting those edits until it stops. Regards. 
Same goes for any further changes to the list of top regarded modern bodyboarders. There have been several attempts to put unknown people into this list.
User "Mark" has repeatedly attacked this page with unsubstantiated edits and locked the page unnecessarily. All edits he has done have been biased therefore, the community requests that he remove himself from further edits until he can show that his efforts are without malice.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anselmogunn (talk • contribs) 17:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

message: "There was only one thing the revolution didn´t change. It is the thing that makes bodyboarding such great surfing sport. It´s the thing bodyboarding is all about: Tube riding!" Who wrote this? Its dumb. Someone fix it.
: Yes, it is. I think I wrote it!!! Can´t remember. I´m working on a complete overhaul on the bodyboarding article. I´ve bought a few hard-copy books on the subject, and will be making this article a lot more professional looking. Just wait! Loudenvier 14:58, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lame sentence 

message: I think it's time to clean-up this list of "NOTABLE" bodyboarders. There must be objective parameters to list people on the list:
*Any world-champion (Stewart, Barcellos, Tâmega, King, Botha...)
*Any bodyboarder to have won an IBA tour sanctioned event
*Any national bodyboarder champion (South African champion, Australian Champion, UK Champion, Brazillian champion, Peruvian champion..)
*The top 16 (or 30) riders of the last year (today it would be the top 16 from 2005 )
Any other bodyboarder, no matter what, will not make into the list. This is the only way to keep the list from infringing wikipedia policies of no original research and NPOV. Regards Loudenvier 20:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, this list does not seems to be missing many notable bodyboarders. In fact, the list has many non-notable bodyboarders. Notable is not the same as good. While Guilherme Tâmega, Paulo Barcellos, Mike Stewart and Ryan Hardy can be considered without doubt notable bodyboarders, Zé Otávio, Giuliano Lara, and many other bodyboarders who are very good but haven't internation expression couldn't be considered notable for inclusion in the wikipedia bodyboarding article. Less is more sometimes. Regards. Loudenvier 14:35, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of bodyboarders 

message: Why is Aruba featured as a prominent location?  Aruba is far from a popular travel destination for bodyboarders.  I have never seen Aruba covered in any American or Australian bodyboard magazine in the 20 years I've been a part of the sport.  This seems to be page vandalism by edit happy Aruba locals. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.15.51.198 (talk) 20:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Come on, Wikipedia... this seems like a good article... but there's no way to tell if any of it is true.   Jpp42 08:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Six months later and this article is still in serious breach of Wikipedia's core policy on verifiability. A good example is the "Famous bodyboarding locations" which appears to be pure original research. Unless proper references are added soon, I will reduce the entire article to a stub.

message: I went through the article's bloated external links section. I compared the Alexa web rankings of all of the links in there. I removed all the sites that had low rankings and either hadn't been updated recently or appeared to be commercial sites selling bodyboarding paraphernalia, per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Since then, and until I semi-protected this article, anonymous users have been undoing my change, reinstating that full, spamalicious external links section. Is there any particular external link I removed which should be reinstated to the external links section? - Mark 06:47, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Mark, you show clear and discrimiate bias in the links that you have chosen to remain on the links section and they will consequently be reupdated until you stop hijacking this section and let the public choose to update this as clearly stated. A reference has been cited of your chosen bias and will be moderated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.161.150 (talk) 08:40, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

message: What is a "body board"?
What does it do? How is it used?
How is it different from a surfboard or a boogie board?
At a minimum, the technical specifications (I assume if there are competitions, they exist?) and (if different) the common retail specifications ought to be presented.173.189.73.122 (talk) 18:03, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
