What Bodyboard should I choose?

Question

I have been bodyboarding most of my life on a Morey Doyle bodyboard, but have now gotten to the level of performance where I wish to bodyboard competitively. Does anyone know of a good, high performance bodyboard brand that is under $150?

Answer 1

custom x's time has gone, they're to fat and heavy i strongly suggest not getting one. i ride a PRIDE and it goes really good. some good brands would be PRIDE, VS, Science (i think you can buy these for 150 and they're great quality), NMD. these are all high performance boards and will last a long time. here are some stores that you can check out their range and price of boards and if you want order it and they will send it straight to your house.

PE boards are $50 cheaper than PP. PE are softer and more flexible than PP which is alright if the board contains a stringer. i actually like the PE more i have tried both and am currently riding a PE.

so i reckon eihter a PRIDE, VS, SCIENCE or NMD

Answer 2

custom x. very dependable and long lasying. or for a little higher price a bz. thats what i ride and love it

Answer 3

Go with a Custom X.  It may be a little more than your target price but it is worth it.  Specific model will be based on how you ride, your weight, and height.

its a south african site so its all in rands and there may be a shipping cost, but they having a clearance sale on some top makes for R600- R1000. this is was less than $150 US. our rand is very weak at the moment. science is one of the top boards around and has very good after sales service- well in south africa anyway. its a US make. nomad is also one of Oz's best makes along with VS but the are expensive- here anyway. rossi boards are a SA brand and is top quality for the price we pay- its local so no import duties i guess. i got myself a rheopaipo on special (Ozzie make) and im very impressed with it. personally, for price and service, science is the way. owned and designed by mike steward himself!!
