Am needing a bodyboard, do I buy from KMART?
I am !80cm tall 70kg normally ride a shortboard, looking for something that is durable and duckdives well, hate getting sucked over falls etc on big days.
Do I buy from KMART, 2nd hand market or dedicated shop, do YOU have something for me?
Use to have bodyboard 15 years ago and borrowed a friends recently, what do I need to know? Any other advice?
No!!!
Absolutely not!!!!
You need to hunt down a Mach 77 or Mach 8TX.
Churchhill flippers.
You also need to bring back more drop knee action.
GOOD!
Go to the biggest surf shop near u look at them all & pick 1. flatter
the better, no rocker that happens latter on its own. then go find
the cheapest price.
You can get custem boards for a similar price.
Get 1 with a stringer in it, it will not bend like a banana as
quick. $400 will get a top of the line board but heaps
around $250 300.
How often are you going to use it...?
I bought one for my bf from the local tackle store $56
Not a cheapy and not a top of the range one
A local got my money and bf got a good board for what he need it for ![]()
a $56 board is ok for staighty races.
its like comparing a new mistral slalom to an old bombora
exit or zot, it just wont cut it when u need it to.
Spend an extra 10 bucks and get what the pros are riding. That's two first world coffees more...........
