Bodyboards & Boogie Boards – Common Questions

What size bodyboard do I need?

Size by weight first, then height. As a general guide a 38" board suits riders around 65–120 lb (4'8–5'2), a 40" board 110–140 lb (5'3–5'6), a 41–42" board 125–180 lb (5'6–6'0), and 44–45" boards 160 lb and up (5'9 and taller). A 36" board is for young kids. If you are between sizes, go by your weight.

What is the difference between a bodyboard and a soft-top surfboard?

A bodyboard is ridden lying down (prone) or drop-knee, is around 36–45" long and has no fins. Soft-top surfboards like the Catch Surf Odysea and Wave Bandit boards on this page are longer, have fins and are ridden standing up. Catch Surf's Womper is a 16" hand board for bodysurfing.

Do I need a leash for a bodyboard?

Yes. Bodyboard leashes attach to the wrist or bicep rather than the ankle, with a plug fitted through the deck of the board. Check the listing to see whether a leash is included with the board.

Which brands do you carry?

Catch Surf (Odysea and Wave Bandit) and Softech bodyboards and soft boards, plus hand fins for bodysurfing. Use the Brand filter at the left to compare.

Do you ship bodyboards?

Yes, everything on this page ships nationwide, or pick up at our California and Florida surf shops.
