Product Information

Bodyboard Fins are essential for Body Boarders who want to take their Bodyboarding to the next level. They will How much wax needs to be re-applied is really a personal thing and has a bit to do with how often you are bodyboarding and how long you are in the water. This can cause your board to bubble and become misshapen. If you are surfing in warm weather, make sure you put your bodyboard in a bodyboard bag instead of leaving it on the hot sand and never leave your board in a scorching hot car! For something different that the family can enjoy in the summer months, you should consider Decathlons’ tandem bodyboard.

So, welcome to the Surfer Club Slider. It’s made with high-quality and sustainable 9mm birch plywood. This is excellent for people that want to help protect our oceans by reducing the use of chemicals. I’d recommend this bodyboard for the 8–12 year old kids who are starting to progress in the sport. Ann’s Cottage says the board is suited to both prone and drop-knee styles, so it’s perfect for a child that’s trying to push their boundaries to the next level. To determine what size Bodyboard you need, it is a generally accepted rule of thumb that you should look for a board that, when stood on the floor, reaches your belly button.Another way to size you board is to make sure that when the Bodyboard is held out in front of you it reaches from your knees to your chin. The rule for sizing an adult bodyboard is the same when it comes to sizing a kids bodyboard. As I mentioned before, if you don’t know what you’re looking for when purchasing a bodyboard, there’s a good chance you’ll end up with a dud. If you feel like the size you got wasn’t right for you, try out another board before you make a final decision.

Now that that is out of the way, let’s get into sizing up the boards that will fit you and handle the waves you’ll be shredding! THE CHART Before we let you go catch some waves with your new bodyboard, always keep in mind how those first few rides went. These types of waves are harder to maneuver, so you will want to get as much control out of your board as possible.Single Stringer: It will provide you with an excellent balance between rigidity while you paddle and flex on the wave. PE core boards are most suitable for cold water bodyboarding in regions such as the UK as they can flex too much in warm water which can negatively impact the performance of the board. Stringers are tubes or rods located inside the core of the bodyboard to provide them with extra strength and improve their performance. They are usually made from carbon fibre or fibre glass. If you keep up to date with bodyboarding events, you’ll know the Apex AX04 is used by the five times British Champion. So, I’d recommend this board for a rider looking to push the boundaries of their ability.

If you are an Intermediate to Advanced Bodyboarder, we would recommend purchasing a board with the following features: Bodyboards are made out of polyethylene foam (PE), polypropylene foam (PP), and extruded polystyrene (EPS). This will get you the most out of the small waves and make you feel as if you were being pushed by the force of a bigger one!

Typically, however, boards identified as bodyboards are higher quality and more expensive than “boogie boards” (more information on the history of these two terms can be found here). The bodyboard is designed for 4 to 8-year old’s that are looking forward to catching their first wave out on the open ocean. Thanks to the handles at the front of the bodyboard, it’s an excellent choice for a child with less confidence. Or they buy the best one they can find (which is usually suited for intermediates and above) and hope they can ride it.

If you’re a beginner, waxing your bodyboard can help you when you’re learning how to catch a wave. Waxing Gives You Greater Control And if you go for the most expensive, it’s going to be too advanced for you, and you’re going to struggle to ride. PP – Polypropylene: This material is usually found in more professional style boards but excels in warmer water. The material is stiffer, lighter and stronger than the counterpart PE.

The grip that wax provides is important if you are riding big waves. The wax will help ensure that you don’t wipe out. Bodyboards are most commonly found in one of two different shapes – crescent tail or bat tail shapes. I always apply wax just before I head out for the first time that day. If I am bodyboarding the next day, I assess how much is left on the bodyboard and make a decision if I need more. Or, if you’re just looking to use one for the weekend, you can consider renting a wooden board instead of buying one.
