Bodyboards are a great introduction to surfing as well as being a sport of it's own.
The Apex AX01 is a basic durable beginner bodyboard as are the Saltrock bodyboards and the Vision Nippers
The Apex AX02 is a step up in performance and strength for those who want to bring a board out the back to progress their wave riding.
The Vision SR boards are higher specification again and suitable for those looking to ride bigger waves as they are re-inforced with a stringer to make them stiffer.
It is recommended that you pick a bodyboard that is at least up to your waist(bellybutton), the largest we carry is a 45". The 42" size is considered standard adult size which usually suits teenagers as well.
