A mate and I used to surf sticks when we were 11-12 in Sydney, and whenever the surf was particularly good for it I'd call him up and we would organise to take the lids out and we just got so used to it and excelled so much more at riding the lid that we just gave up our sticks all together and focused on bodyboarding and I can't speak for him but I've never looked back.
