Shark Island has been putting fear into the minds all kinds of Bodyboarders from around the world for many years; it also puts a feeling of obsession and dedication into others. Getting invited to the SIC is one of the sports top honors. Next to Pipeline in Hawaii the Island comp is regarded by Bodyboarders as the ultimate event with a long waiting period and waves that can produce epic conditions.&nbsp;

In the late 80&rsquo;s early 90&rsquo;s, three friends Dave Ballard, Matt Percy and Nathan &lsquo;Nugget&rsquo; Purcell started riding the notoriously dangerous waves of Cronulla on a new invention called the bodyboard. With their rebellious attitudes, tough family lives and lack of financial support, they were labelled by the media as the Skid Kids, a label that would also eventually be applied to Adam &lsquo;Wingnut&rsquo; Smith, Mark Fordham and Christian &lsquo;Rissole&rsquo; Rigucinni.

"It's back." With those words on page 13 of Riptide <a class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" spellcheck="false" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/194">#194</a> a concept synonymous with world-class bodyboarding begins in earnest. It's been a long time between drinks for the Experiment issue (six years) -- the word alone conjures visions of perfect waves and the open road -- and we're ecstatic to be bringing it back for those who grew up with the iconic issues, and to expose the younger generations to the Experiment. 
Not only is it an opportunity to reward the highest-voted riders in the world for their efforts during the past year (2012 Bodyboarder of the Year rankings), it's a chance to throw them in a situation completely foreign to anything else that exists in the world bodyboarding media. 
Who are these riders you ask? The Experiment Seven team consists of: 
<ul>
<li>2012 Riptide Bodyboarder of the Year Dave Winchester </li>
<li>2011 World Champion Pierre Louis Costes</li>
<li>2 x World Champion Ben Player </li>
<li>2 x Women's World Champion Isabela Sousa&nbsp;</li>
<li> 2012 Dropknee World Champion Sacha Specker </li>
<li>South African superstar Jared Houston </li>
<li>Freesurfing extraordinaire Jase Finlay </li>
<li>2012 Riptide Grom of the Year Lewy Finnegan </li>
