Summary
NoS Summary - Surf board riders perform various impressive stunts.
British Pathe synopsis: "Dancing in a ballroom is sometimes no easy matter. But what of it on a crazy surfboard?" M/S of a woman doing some crazy dancing on a surfboard as she rides a wave. "Any way you like - Eve doesn’t mind!" M/S of woman riding on the shoulders of a man who is riding a surfboard. We see the man as he gets up onto the board and lifts the woman up onto his shoulders. "On your head or your feet - it’s all the same to these surf riders." Woman rides a wave standing on her head on the surfboard! More shots of the stunt surfers. Probably shot in America.
