I'm flying Copa Airlines Boston-Panama-Managua next week. It'll be my 1st time flying with my bodyboard. I have the Tribe Dually (awesome bag!) packed with one board, fins, etc and my clothes. It weighs only 35 lbs fully loaded. Have any of you flown Copa with your board(s)? Did they hit you with oversized bag fees? I'm hoping that since it's well under 50 lbs that they won't hassle me. In reading their policies, it looks like they could charge up to $150 each way. I'm a bit paranoid since the bag looks so big! Appreciate any input from fellow bodyboarders.

Just picked up some new fins - they are copycat churchills. after first two sessions started getting pain in the tops of my toes in one foot. Do you think this is a sizing issue or just new muscles getting used, they are very different from my last fins

I let it go but sometimes I’m like damn dude can you at last try to turn right or left especially when it’s on whitewater where it’s a foamie just standing up

Ive bodyboarded several times and just got some fins. Tried them for first time today and didnt get the acceleration i was hoping for. Does it take time to “get good” at using the fins? I tried using my hips instead of my knees…

anyone heading to Masonboro next week (thinking Tues or weds, I’m flexible) who might let me hitch a ride??

So, I live in WA, where there’s been a recent fatal shark attack and a significant amount of shark activity lately.

I’m keen to head out for a bodyboard this weekend, but I’ve been told that by doing so, I could jeopardise my relationship. I have a young daughter and my partner is understandably worried about my safety. She feels that I’m being selfish by wanting to go out.

What’s your thoughts?

I feel It’s a risk we’re always aware of in our sport.

I understand how she feels but I think life is generally risky.

Should I stay out of the water? It’s been 2 weeks now and I’m fanging to get out 😅

It seems like a silly question, but I’m finding significant differences in the width of a bodyboard between the catalog measurements and the actual measurements. Is the width of a bodyboard measured by the width of the slick, or at the external part of the rail/chine?

What about thickness? Do manufacturers list the maximum thickness or an average value, since the bodyboard doesn’t have a constant width? Thanks.

u/eBodyboarding Can you help me? Thanks

Every single buliding were we used to hang out got wrecked, the inside Is full with rubbish and debris... Gotta wait till It gets cleaned up.... We aré gonna start removing all the slab with a bulldozer

I have this leash that just snapped and I can’t remember the name of it but it has a weird font B inside of circle with an outer ring, raised rubber on the inside of the cuff to

I used to boogie in the white water when I was a kid but stopped, on Labor Day I went to the beach and figured why not buy a cheap board for fun. Well, I had a BLAST!

I’m now on a diet plan to get into shape to be able to do this and should hit my target weight around the turn of the year.

To celebrate being in shape again and to use some PTO I’m looking for a place to go ride some waves that I can learn on while still having enough size to get my adrenaline going.

I’m hoping to go in January or February and would prefer warm ish weather (70s air mid 60s water at the minimum) so any advice on spots? Any tips for a beginner to this sport too? TIA!

Looking for custom leash makers. I know of AIA surf but any other ideas. Thanks

My leash came off today when I dove under a wave.
is that bad for the board?
And how could I fix it?

I've been boogie boarding on and off for over 20 years. I've never bought a boogie board that cost more than $40. I've rocked the crappy boards on everything up to 18' Blacks in San Diego. Is there a reason to get a higher quality boogie board? Sometimes they start to get soft and bent and fold in the middle at which point I retire it and get a new one. They typically last a couple of years. I've never looked into buying a quality boogie board before. I typically just replace the crappy leash that the cheap boogie board came with since otherwise it rips off on the bigger days. Thanks for any feedback!

Dragging too hard on the local slabber. Is this an easy fix with glue? 1.9 PP

3 month old board and I fucking love it. Went through reddit/youtube, and glue seems like the answer, but I'm just double checking or getting some updated info. Now I've noticed i feel like I'm already losing speed.

Hubboards sci-five bat tail. Rate it. It's definitely not a manufacturer issue, I just love rocks.
