A different type of surfing has taken off on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales; one that's allowing surfers to keep riding waves well into their older years.
The "gut slider" has been a passion project for 74-year-old Nambucca Valley surfboard shaper Keith Robinson as a way to ride waves without having to stand on a board.
"I went back to the roots of surfing, which was a paipo board [from Hawaii]," Mr Robinson said.
