Use the right wax according to the temperature, sold separately in the surfing department.\nDo this before each session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWe design bodyboarding products for 4 levels: Novice, beginner, intermediate and advanced.\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Novices: Up to the navel, no fins, small waves \u0026lt; 50 cm, propulsion by pushing your feet on the ground, then riding the wave to the shore. For a 1st wave-riding experience (bodyboard with grips).\n- Beginner: Gentle turns in waves up to 1m, propulsion with fins. A must for learning to bodyboard.\n- Intermediate: Waves up to 1.50 m, more speed and the beginning of tricks (360°, El Rollo, etc.).\n- Advanced: All types of waves, doing tricks, even aerial ones (ARS, tube, 360°, etc.).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSafety and behaviour rules for the water - Part 2.\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e4- Respect the rules of right of way on the waves: Right of way goes to the person closest to the peak.\n5- Avoid the breaking wave area when moving back up to the peak to avoid cutting another boarder off.\n6- Use fins if the water is above your hips.\n7- If you’re not using fins, it’s recommended you keep to a supervised area. Lifeguards can tell you where these are.\n8- Bodyboard in a group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesigned to be used for intended sizes and conditions: Beginner level.\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 100 bodyboard is designed for use in waves up to 1 metre high.\nIt has been tested and approved in these conditions, by real beginners as well as intermediate and advanced riders.\nIf it is used in waves of more than 1m, it could suffer damage: breaks, bending... In this case, opt for the 500 or 900 bodyboards.\nThe plastic-coated underside of this bodyboard makes for a better glide and is stronger.\nWear the other breakage can be repaired.

The use of fins lets you catch 2 to 3 times more waves!\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the ocean, when the water is deeper than your navel, it’s very difficult to catch waves without the help of fins.\nThis is because it is no longer possible to propel yourself by pushing your feet off the floor to gain momentum in the wave, and paddling with your arms is often insufficient.\nFor best results when learning to bodyboard, we strongly recommend that you use bodyboard fins to improve faster and stay safe in coastal currents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis easy, intuitive bodyboard is perfect for starting out with fins in waves of less than a metre.
