Designed for discovering bodyboarding with fins in waves <1m. Wear a rash vest or wetsuit to avoid irritation. Available in 3 sizes.
Are you getting started on a bodyboard with fins and in waves less than one metre high? This intuitive board makes movement easier and includes a wrist leash for immediate, smooth and reliable use.
- Helps to make the right movePre-formed deck for intuitive positioning of the hands and elbows.
- Ease of useWrist leash included. Can be attached with one hand. Wax the board before use.
- RobustnessLaminated bottom. Size according to user's build. Not suitable for waves >1 m.
- In the waves, the bodyboard is used lying down. It's important to wear a long-sleeved UV-protection top or a wetsuit, depending on the water temperature, to avoid (painful) chafing on the stomach and arms. For a good grip on the bodyboard, we recommend waxing the front of the board, the sides (rails) and under your belly. Use the right wax according to the temperature, sold separately in the surfing department. Do this before each session.
- - Novices: Up to the navel, no fins, small waves < 50 cm, propulsion by pushing your feet on the ground, then riding the wave to the shore The focus is on fun and first wave-riding experiences (bodyboard with handles) - Beginner: Gentle turns in waves up to 1m, propulsion with fins A must for learning to bodyboard - Intermediate: Waves up to 1.50 m, more speed and the beginning of tricks (360°, El Rollo, etc.) - Advanced: All types of waves, doing tricks, even aerial ones (ARS, tube, 360°, etc.)
- This 100 bodyboard is designed for use in waves up to 1 metre high. It has been tested and approved in these conditions, by real beginners as well as intermediate and advanced riders. If it is used in waves of more than 1m, it could suffer damage: breaks, bending... In this case, opt for the 500 or 900 bodyboards. The plastic-coated underside of this bodyboard makes for a better glide and is stronger. Wear the other breakage can be repaired. Ask on the Internet and in our stores.
- To help you catch more waves, we are working to make our products as intuitive as possible and to incorporate instruction. That's why this bodyboard has carefully an ergonomic deck, which allows you to get into the right position automatically. The information about the size of the user and the size of the waves are shown on the board. A QR code on the bottom gives you access to tutorials and other useful information: care, 2nd life, etc.
- The nose bumpers give you good grip with your hands. When catching a wave, put your hands on the front and arch your back to maximise the buoyancy and power produced by your feet (with fins on, of course!) To go left, keep your left hand in front (hand/elbow/shoulder in line, arm bent at 90°) and put your right hand on the right rail by your hip. Keep your left leg in line with the board to hold your direction. Do the opposite to go right.
- 4- Respect the rules of right of way on the waves: Right of way goes to the person closest to the peak. 5- Avoid the breaking wave area when moving back up to the peak to avoid cutting another boarder off. 6- Use fins if the water is above your hips. 7- If you're not using fins, it's recommended you keep to a supervised area. Lifeguards can tell you where these are. 8- Bodyboard in a group.

- The size of the bodyboard directly influences its stability and ease of handling. This bodyboard 100 is available in 3 sizes depending on the user's height: Size 36" between 1.25 m and 1.45 m tall Size 39" if you are between 1.45 m and 1.65 m tall Size 42" if you are between 1.65 m and 1.85 m tall A bodyboard that is too small will not be buoyant enough and you will miss waves. A bodyboard that is too big will be hard to handle.
- When not in use, keep your bodyboard out of the sun or temperatures >50°C. Protect your board by using a cover, putting it under a parasol, in the shade, or under a light coloured towel to keep the heat away. Never leave it in a car in direct sunlight. Leaving your board exposed to too much heat can cause blisters or bubbles to form on it, or even cause warping.
- Despite all the care taken in the design of our products, the foam may break off or you may have punctured it. This video gives you all the information you need to repair these small issues and extend the life of the product. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFTUqJ6P7UE
- In the ocean, when the water is deeper than your navel, it's very difficult to catch waves without the help of fins. This is because it is no longer possible to propel yourself by pushing your feet off the floor to gain momentum in the wave, and paddling with your arms is often insufficient. For best results when learning to bodyboard, we strongly recommend that you use bodyboard fins to improve faster and stay safe in coastal currents.
