When I was a kid I surfed every chance I got and still get out regularly now.

Living an hour or so by the bus from the beach though it wasn’t always possible to do the real thing, so me and my mates had to improvise somewhat. We rode our skateboards like surfboards on our driveways; ran up and down the side of storm water drains, pretending we were in the world’s longest barrel; and even lay prone at the bottom of big hills in King Edward Park to see what it would be like to paddle into a 40 foot Waimea Bay monster. We never, ever thought of doing what the cats in this video do though. And more’s the pity – it looks well fun.

Bear with the video until the 30 second mark, that’s where the brilliance begins.

HT Aquabumps for alerting me to the video.
