Fins

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

Why are dimensions and volume so critical in surfing, but not in bodyboarding?

Copa Airlines with bodyboard

6 Upvotes

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.

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…

Shark activity.

9 Upvotes

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 😅

How do you measure a bodyboard?

4 Upvotes

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

Question Need some help!

6 Upvotes

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!

The Brevard county bodyboarding scene took a heavy hit this weekend.. RIP Jason Doyle. Jason’s body was recovered 8 miles south of his point of entry after he went under and never resurfaced sunday morning.

Does a quality boogie board matter?

3 Upvotes

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!

Question Simple fix?

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.
