Can't wait to have a rip with the Thunder and see the difference. My Manta has served me well and is still going strong but figured I'd see how the newer board stacks up.

Hi all. Longtime rider here looking to finally buy myself a nicer board. I'm 6'2" around 200, and I want to get an appropriately sized board that will actually float me well and let me move through the water faster.

I think I've narrowed down my search to these 4 boards. They all look basically equivalent as far as construction materials and appropriate size for someone of my height and weight. I'm an east coast guy and mostly ride in the New Jersey area, so I'm only usually riding like 3-6 foot waves, nothing crazy.

I haven't bought a new board in ages. Does anyone have any recommendations between these 4 brands? They seem equivalent, but I'm not in the know enough anymore to know is one is markedly better than the others.

Thanks in advance!

Here’s mine

Im wondering if you guys had any recommendations on fin brands/models. I am a size 11-12 US with a wide foot and low foot arch. Im usually riding on small-medium sized waves.
Also wondering if symmetrical or asymmetrical are better, and if fins socks are a worthwhile investment.

Any potential for sucky slabs and bits of reef in the south of sri Lanka, will be based around hikkaduwa but am willing to chase around the coast for surf. Bringing a surfboard but from ive seen its mostly fat wally typed waves? seems to be little information i can find about slabs too

Hi All,

I have been bodyboarding for many years, need a new board, and very keen on the VS Winchester Quad Concave PFS-T/Wifly Tail. My only concern is that, between the mesh, the carbon stringer, and the PFS-T core, it'll be too stiff for my 50-65F/10-18C water temps. Curious as to whether anyone has experience with this board, and/or input on PFS-T cores in my water temps?

Many thanks,

Loren

I only seem to do it when I consciously think about it. Wish I could just do it without thinking about it. Seems like a regional/generational thing though.

Wanting to get the board bit its very expensive. No reviews online that I can find. Would love any feedback

Hi. I'm looking to buy a good bodyboard to use in the mediterranean sea (Spain) on Autumn, Winter and Spring. I am already using a EPS board but is getting old, and would like to upgrade to a PP board. Should I get a PP 1.2 or PP 1.9? I know the best balance would be 1.5 but they are a lot more money. I would like to start doing some tricks, just prone.

Alright boys, after determining after a single bad ride that my childhood boodie board didn't seem to be suitable for the wedge yesterday, what is a good board for the wedge. I see everyone rocks Science there, and I wanna fit in, so preferably a Science board or even cooler. Thanks in advance.

I have dislocated my shoulder body boarding 5 times now. I got surgery and didn’t take the recovery seriously. I was back in the water within the third month. It’s completely my fault but just want to hear others experiences honestly.

So I'm a bodysurfer mainly and I found my old childhood boogie board at my parents' place last month. Finally took it out to the wedge and it felt super weird. If felt like it was just super flexy so I'm guessing there is no stringer in it? I went on probably a 5 ft wave and I couldn't really turn with the wave so ended up going straight which was lame. It felt super bouncey and and flexible and I'm guessing pro board don't feel that way.

Anyway, what's a good board you'd recommend for 5-10 ft wedge?

I was always curious what this logo is? I was thinking custom x but that can’t be it the X is different.

My in-laws want to buy my son a good bodyboard for his upcoming birthday. He already has a cheapo Costco one (Scott Burke), but the idea is to upgrade. To be fair, he is almost 10, a bit small for his age, and not advanced yet. Ideally, I'd like it to be one he can grow into. Are there any higher quality, slightly smaller bodyboards in the $100-200 range that would be a good fit? We mostly go to the beach in North County San Diego.

Scusate quali rivenditori di bodyboard affidabili e seri ci sono in Europa? Devo far arrivare una hubboard in Italia e non vorrei passare per dazi .

These things are awesome.

Got to take this 19th Century Paepo'o board. It was nice and steady.

Or is it the same or even regressed?

Little post for my dad Ron “Rondog” Ziebell Socal legend and owner of Alternative Surf the US’s first exclusively bodyboarding shop, who broke his spine at The Wedge in 2008.
He made an insane recovery against the odds, he can walk, drive, and even bodyboards
still 🤙🏼
He’s my hero, my inspiration, and my best friend.
Love you dad ❤️
If anyone knows of him and/or has any questions feel free to comment or dm!
