Using fins gives you a HUGE advantage in catching waves as well as turning and doing tricks. It is really har if not impossible to get a wave without fins.
Not always I can do it no problem
Lmao same I always boogie board without fins
I've gotten plenty of 🌊 without fins 🤙
Very informative. Thank You.
Thanks so much for the video, I just moved to Oahu Hawaii and went to Belows Beach there for some body boarding, I borrowed a friend's body board so although it wasn't the right fit, I had a great time and even caught a few waves! I will use your info you provided now to get my own, being 5 feet tall shouldn't tough lol.
Check out pounders. East side.
to the big boy, u can get stealth fin are big for their size compared to other fins like churchies or limited edition
that's really useful, thank you so much. i love bodyboarding and would love to try it more proffesionally, but i live in the uk and the waves aren't big enough and we never go abroad. i need to move to australia or something!
@That girl Why South Africa?
The uk has some decent surf aroumd devon and cornwall i know your comment is 10years old but dont do the uk dirty like that we get better waves than most think the beaches aroumd parrenporth, carolyn bay ect are great Newquay of course and if you talk to locals amd get pointed in the right directions you can find some.gems of places that dont have a lot of attention even 10 yesrs down the line we had great waves this week a couple of day i sat and watched as the waves and whote water where to much for me the weather was not great but the surf was fine had a great 2 weeks i try and go 2 or 3 times a year but it is a 8 hour drive for me that hurts
Great video, thank you.
i am 158cm and 54kg and I had no idea what was the right size for me. My mom always got me board closer to 42' or 43' and it worked, but I knew i needed smaller. Now after watching this I have a 38' and I love it! THX
If you are about to give your first steps in bodyboarding, yeah NMD Njoy is a nice board for people who is still in the beginning! It's a good choice!
Just grab one at costco... I got a twin pack of boards for like fifty bucks like four years ago??? and i am still shredding on them today!
They’re recreational “boogie boards” and can’t handle waves that are bigger than 3-4 face. I myself have tried to use an old Morey Mach-9 which is over a decade old... because there is no stringer on the board, it gives no support and can easily snap. Also paddling out is so much harder with those cheap ass boards because of how light they are. Duck diving is almost impossible as the waves just push you backwards.
Costco board? Lol!
You think your shredding on them. Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids.
MEGA SUPER AWESOME PRODUCTIONS do you mean by shredding by just going forward
Great video! Thanks for the Info! Im getting one soon!
A Yak sighting!! I’d love to see a video of you bodyboarding after a beer taste tasting challenge. Make it happen!
Im looking to get back into bodyboarding after about 10 years out, mainly for exercise but I was half decent back then. I was abit lost with these new boards but this video helped so cheers for that. Im wondering what sort of board you guys would recommend for a 6ft 120kg guy with medium ability?
Ways to size a board.
1. Nose of board at the bottom of chin, tail of board at knee.
2. Tail of board at feet, nose of board at belly button or inch above or below belly button.
Goober tuber go on a bodyboard website, such as 662 bodyboards or bodyboard king and search for "bigger guys" boards. Those ar evade for people who weigh a lot or are just really tall
Goober tuber maybe get a pipe science and make the nose be up to your belly button
Larger waves smaller board. Smaller waves bigger board.
Larger arse bigger board!
Still relevant today! found it very helpful team. cheers
Its in burleigh was near the maccas but it moved just south a bit
i have a qustion i go boogie boarding in the outerbanks and i have one with a round on the top is that good
Thank u sooooo much this helped a lot
Im at the OBX right now.
I think there's something wrong with the size chart, it says that a 43" board fits 192cm and 105kg, but a 44" board is limited to 95kg.
@FreshDesigns69 yeah bodyboards r expensive. I got mine at a consignment store. Look for used body boards they r just as good as new ones as long as they aren't all scuffed up or something. And used ones aren't very expensive
yes, if you want to catch majority of the waves or bigger waves.
Gracias Maestro! te capte todo
nice, according to that chart i need a 43'' board, i want to buy one! i kinda messed my last one (too many wipeouts) but since im gettin' a little serious about it, your video helps a lot. I wonder where can i buy one, i live near puerto escondido, maybe there.
I'm 6'3" and 105kg . Mid 40s and getting my little guy into it.
I bought a 45,comes up to my belly button nearly.
Floats sweetly. Bit big for my 8 year old but he's 4'10" and 60kg,I'm sure he's gonna be a big boy too.
He's learning to swim in surf so I stay with him,but I'm love the drop in feel again.
Don't grow old ever.!!!
If you're thinking about getting back in,just do it before you turn 90.
Shark biscuits for life
great!
Thank you now i can choose the best board
Me too, well not for me but for my two daughters 8 and 10. Thanks
Tim Thornton cheeky scrub
are the fins absolutely necessary ?
It'll make it so much easier and if there's any current some life gaurds won't let you out go without them
would a hydro zboard be good for a begginer and also would it be good for carves and spins? please answer
What a video! Good job mate thanx for the help :)
should i pick 100 or a 500. every website states that 100 is for small waves and 500 is for mid' waves. what is small? what is middle?
i don't want to waste money on a 100 just to break it on what i consider a mid' wave, but i also don't want to slow myself down with a 500
Whats better, the Churchills or the Vipers?
bigfri5 vipers
Dafin
bigfri5 churchils are better for knee dropping. Vipers are just for big waves
No it's the opposite way round. Churchill are for bigger waves, and viper are for dk
and also would it be good for really small waves?
i dont know what board to get ,but im think im ganna get a NMD NJOY ..... what do you guys think about that board ?
Great tutorial...
does it matter if im using ajustable fins
That' was really informative. Thank you,
what happens if I use a polyethylene board on normal water ( not warm not cold)
Rick Rams the water has to be one of em
😂

Joel Milne bro that's like a pro setup. I just have a VS United board, Dafin fins, an empire leash, and I don't even have fin savers
K!NG G3ORGE aha 1 year later
where is this store located???
Hi iam 5f6 85kg does a 42cm board sound OK
When you make your next video like this, can you also show the Foot and Inches measurements for us Yanks...lol.
What! Cant you convert? Ever heard of google ? Very lazy?
that height and weight chart makes no sense 🤦♀️. 👋 later!
my fins are chorckchill ← (what ever the name is) the blue and yellow one , the work perfectly for me i have better suim and i catch the waves more easy i really recommend those fins
Church hill😉
LTD are better
crazYLi0nz Churchill😂😂 It's ok I called my Dafin fins "Dayfeen" for like a whole month. Then my friend corrected me
Don't listen to people who try to act like know-it-alls and tell you this brand is better than that brand. It's bullshit from a bullshitter. The truth is, MOST of the brands are pretty much the same. The "better" brand is the one that is most comfortable on your feet. Nothing will ruin your session like a pair of fins that are too tight and cramp/cut your feet OR a pair that is too loose and gets sucked off your feet everytime you duck dive a wave.
Good video ..explained my board and the difference between them ... generally just go out and have fun guys , your still beating someone who’s farting on the couch
I already know everything this guy is talking about but I continue to watch the video because his voice is Godly. It's like listening to Morgan Freeeman, except Australian and white.
@gummybearninja1000 were lucky if we get head high swells let alone a good enough wave to barrel over and get tubed
The easiest way to tell the right size is it should come up to your piko (navel). Also double stringer is good if you are a regular surfer. I just bought a Manta double stringer fish tail ($210.00) I am trying a new board. Word of warning do not leave your board in your car or it will warp- thats what happened to my custom x:(
i am looking for some good comfortable fins can anybody help with maby some brands or particular fins plz reply.
is this at surf fx
I picked up a bodyboard for $2.50, no fins or arm rope needed, tricks pulled so far:-
Stack, spin and 180's fuck yeah.(not a trick but what i'm thinking when I pull a manouvre)
experienced body boarder here on li, any suggestions on what board to buy? no youtube videos cover it and i value speed/control. i’m 5”11 135
Whats the price for all the gear that you need
you can get decent starter packs for under $200, you just need a wetsuit as well if its winter.
Bat tails aren’t designed for larger waves though.
who knew there's so much to body boarding!?
Mena Lourinho me
like/fav
its fine but it depends on ur weight, that is if u still need this info
probably not, looks like they just use it the catch bigger waves, ive caught waves on shitty bodyboards and skimboards without them, oh and dont try to catch a wave on a skim board painfull lesson in plowing the the bottom of the ocean lol.
Bought my board today. It’s right under my chest.
What the fuck is a kilogram?
What the fuck is Google?
I have a morley big kahuna with a bat tail 50:50 rails and I single stringer oh and I bought a fin to go on it to when I'm bodyboarding all the hardcore guys look at me like oh it's only a girl but I change their minds when i find a big wave and ride a tube! ( I live on long beach island in NJ so you have to go out pretty far to ride the tubes )

Man when I was 10 I had a boogie board that was almost taller than me and it worked fine
what is the purpose of the sizes in body board? ;)
if your boards to big the nose of the board is going to be too far away and the more you move closer the less control of your legs you will have..too small and you wont be able to control it properly.. the better you get the more you will notice the massive difference half an inch can make on a board...for instance I am 6ft and a 42" inch board feels to long when prone but 41.5" feels perfect.
virtue696 thank's bro
SOTHICK RICK Exactly what I thought, i am 5.10” and mine is 42” however i only weight like 142 so idk if i should drop to 40”.....I am not very good at keeping steady waive rides with it and idk if its because is too big for me?
Any ideas?
Is it okay to have a 36 inch board when I’m 5’6 feet tall?
Dude just check the chart at 00:43
5'6" is 167 cm
Have you grown
Are you new to bodyboarding?
@gummybearninja1000 i respect that your a girl and you ride and stuff, but lbi never barrels haha maybe if theres a tropical or something maybe it will barrel for a couple hours if you get lucky but lbi doesnt really ever barrel
Y would u need fins
Cameron Jewell for catching waves 😊
