Name: BRANDON FOSTER
Age: 23
Location?: WELL I AM IN CALIFORNIA NOW BUT MY HOME IS DURBAN, South AFRICA
Years Bodyboarding: 12 YEARS
Favourite Wave: ILUKA, AUSTRALIA
Dream Wave: 4-6FT A FRAME WEDGES IN WARM WATER.
What have you been up to? Well I have been in Hawaii for the season, surfing, chillin and playin tennis. Trying to get the DK roll completed on video, there is a group of us who have pulled them but never on video so the challenge is on to see who will be 1st.
Whos tearing over your way right now? Well in cali there are guys like Jeff Bragg killing it on the knee and a guy called Mark Klein who is representing for the prone boys.
Best thing you have witnessed in bodyboarding recently? OOO the other day I was surfing out at OTW and had just got a nugget barrel on the knee when I turned around and saw Harry Dixon bottom turn on a beast master and hit the biggest invert I have ever seen even on tow outs. It was huge I was screaming the beach went wild I just sat up and clapped as loud as I could that kid rips.
Where was the longest most epic session you have ever had? OOOOO that would have to be in Durban South Africa at North Beach, Farbowl.
I was about 16 and I surfed for 10 hours in a perfect 4ft rip bowl that just
got better and better all day. Man I used to love that spot.
Why should we buy your new Custom X model? The ODB (old dirty Brandon) is sick for DK. I have tried all the different
boards shapes etc and this is just the all round best shape for big waves
and big moves on the knee. The full cresent tail helps with bottom turns on
heavy waves and then the template makes it super fast to go up and launch
off the lip. If u are one of the Dkers out there going for the new crazy
moves this is the board for you.
Favourite bodyboarding vid? No Friends 3
Worst thing you have ever done? OOOO I have done lots of stuff I regret but the worst thing I ever did in bbing was trying to do a DK floater on an inside reef in INDO and coming down with the lip into dry reef. OOOOOO I was raw...
Did you regret it after? When I was told that I could use the internet after it for a few days cause I was constantly bleeding I did.
Best pick up line you have ever used? Growing my mullet the girls just come up to me now its great.
Any other comments? Well keep supporting bodyboarding and remember “you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” JESUS
