Bodyboards: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. By 2006, there were an estimated six bodyboarders per surfer. Some of the reasons for this are obvious. It takes a lot of skill and dedication to learn to surf. Bodyboarding can be picked up by anyone. Not that everyone is good at it. But the skill floor is much lower.
Fact #2. Make sure to wax before you enter the water. Unlike waxing a surfboard, waxing the center of a bodyboard will limit your mobility. This is because the board will stick to your chest. Professionals recommend only waxing the top corners and the handles on each rail.
Fact #3. There are three things to consider when buying one. The first is its dimensions. A lot of boards are custom-made to support a person of a specific size. Size recommendations are generally listed in the description. If you're in a store, ask to look at boards that are made for a person of your height. The second is the bottom of the board. The sleekest bottoms are made of polyethylene, polypropylene, or some other equivalent poly-plastic thereof. Certain bottoms may also feature channels or rivets. The third thing you'll want to consider is how it will stand up to the elements.
Fact #4. They were originally developed by a surfer. Tom Morey had been immersed in that culture his whole life. In 1970, he became immersed in a Persian faith known as Bahá'í. Morey kept returning to a Bahá'í mantra. "Convey upon me a thought which will turn this planet into a rose garden." This mantra inspired Morey to invent the Boogie Board.
Fact #5. Make sure that your choice has a leash for your arm. Leashes will prohibit you from losing the board. They can also keep the board from going rogue. That way you avoid hitting bystanders or any rocks along the beach.
