Bodyboards are specialized boards designed for wave riding, forming essential equipment for water sports lovers. These compact, lightweight boards crafted from high-quality materials enable dynamic riding on water surfaces during waves. Bodyboards differ from surfboards by their smaller size and unique riding technique, which typically involves lying or kneeling on the board.
Why choose bodyboards?
Bodyboards provide numerous advantages for active water enthusiasts. Here are the key benefits:
- easy to learn for beginners,
- high wave maneuverability,
- safe usage,
- suitable for both children and adults,
- relatively low cost compared to surfboards.
Technique of riding bodyboards
Mastering bodyboard riding requires practice and systematic training. Professionals emphasize several critical elements: proper body positioning on the board, ability to "read" waves, and precise body weight control. Bodyboarders often choose various riding styles - from calm gliding to dynamic jumps and tricks.
