Bodyboards for every wave and every level
Ready for some action in the surf? Then a bodyboard is your ideal beach buddy. Whether you're catching a wave for the first time or have been sliding over the waves on your belly for years: with a bodyboard you'll experience endless water fun. You lie on the board, wait for a wave and let yourself be carried towards the beach. Nice and accessible and fun for all ages.
How does a bodyboard actually work?
It’s simple: you lie on your belly on the board, use your arms (and possibly fins) to gain speed, and let the power of the wave carry you. It’s surfing without having to stand – making it ideal for children, beginners and holidaymakers.
What size bodyboard do I need?
The size of your bodyboard depends on your body height. A good rule of thumb: the board should reach approximately your navel. Too small? Then you lack buoyancy. Too big? Then steering becomes more difficult. Streetsurfshop.nl has models from 33" to 45", so there is always a suitable match.
What is the difference between a bodyboard and a skimboard?
Bodyboards are for the surf – where real waves break. You lie on your board. Skimboards are used on wet sand or flat water: you run, throw your board down and jump on it to glide over the surface. Both are great fun, but completely different in use.
Which bodyboard suits you?
At Streetsurfshop.nl you will find bodyboards for every level: from child-friendly entry-level models to robust boards for serious surfing fun. Tip: don't forget your leash and UV shirt. That way you will stay safe and stylish in the waves.
