Whats a good bodyboard?

[slopman]

Im 6'5 185lbs... I just want something to play around on. I surf so this would be something that I would use just to have some fun with....and maybe try it out on some good days!! What would be a good entry level board that wouldnt break the bank?? Thanks

[stoneybaloney]

BZ makes good value boards for messing around on. I'd get something long though since you're so tall. Should run you like $150 I would guess.

[NJ SPONGIN]

BZ does have good boards, if you do go with BZ i suggest the Big Bruddah

[slopman]

What do you guys consider a longer board for a tall guy...I see some lengths from 40" to 44"....is anything over 43" considered a longer board?? sorry I know nothing about sponging:D

You should be riding 45"-47" for your size.

i use my bodyboard so little that i just got one of the Legendary ones that all the shoobies use but its fine for the couple days i use it a year..when its flat i prefer skateing than sponging. I have a 44" and im 5'5" and 125 pounds

6'5 185?? Wow you need to start eatin!

Typically, the 'longer boards' are used for Drop knee, but given your height and weight, you should get right around a 45".

a 45 seems way too big to me. he is tall as shizzz but only 185lbs and something that big will feel like a boat on him. im 6'3 185 and i ride a 42. a 43 would be perfect plus there are alot more selections in sizes around a 43. just my thoughts about it

[stoneybaloney]

I agree that 44 and under offers more selections. Above 44 will get more costly.

I agree, get the Big Bruddah, has a great template, board is rated for waves between 1ft to 15ft, the board won't feel big to a 6' 5" person. I ride a custom BSD board link: http://www.benseverson.com/ Ben was always second to Mike Stewart, but helped make BZ what they are today. good luck shopping

[bodyboardNJ]

i would suggest a 43 or a 44. im 6 foot even and i ride a 42 and its a little big for me. Anything from BZ, Custom X, and Mike Stewart Science are all good boards and they all have a large selection

[tommy9'0"]

slopman you should get a toobs bodyboard..

Damn, that's why I don't sponge. :)

[bodyboarder]

I personaly ride a Toobs Herlihy which is a 46 inch board but it will set you back about 260$ its a great quality board and you can ride it prone dropknee or standup but for just messin around i say a BZ or Custom X

[bodyboarder]

Toobs is the best you can buy their boards are amazing quality and they will satisfy your needs

[LOSTsoul]

Grow a set and buy a surfboard.

[OCsp0nger005]

i would say go with mike stewart's science boards. they are really good and great quality

[slopman]

thanks for all the info, Im gonna take a look at a couple of different models and let you know what Im thinking...

HAHAHHAHH!!! Great comeback... he should also grow a set and start taking off on waves bb'ers do... ;)

[no6rider89]

just get a no6 goliathe, or goliathe icon. im prety sure they come in 42, or 43.5. and the board is much thicker. i think a 63 mm core? the board will float you perfectly and wont feel to big.

[LOSTsoul]

HAHAHHAHH!!! Great comeback... he should also grow a set and start taking off on waves bb'ers do... ;)


Very meager come back at best. In fact, quite lame. Talking about someones mother? C'mon..that's too easy.

I love picking on the inferiority complex that all y'all non-athletic d!ck draggers have!

Come on... you posted a bogus comment in a legit thread... just let it go my friend.

Sorry about the mom comment...how childish....If you would have read my original post,I am a surfer, and I wanted to get a sponge to have fun with....or didnt they teach you how to read at Brookdale CC??

[stoneybaloney]

didnt they teach you how to read at Brookdale CC??

I take classes at Brookdale and I had a 680 on the reading/writing portion of the SATs. Nothing wrong with comm college when mommy and daddy aren't paying. :D

yeah science boards are the ****

[NewJerseySponge]

Dudes, BZ...ok board for youngins! I would stay around 43 bc you will have way more options. Me personally, I'm a gear head and would stay away from BZ, Morey unless it's a Pro board (Bunting is sick), and most Custom X boards. I stick to Aussie boards but the are tough to get in the states. If your willing to drop a 250$, you'll have a better board than most spongers in the water. Ceck out BoogerKing or bodyboarders.com/au. I now my stuff when it comes to boards so if you have any questions just ask.

i don't bodyboard but hurleheys are fun to mess around on:D:D:D

[ECsponger]

Don't hate on LOSTsoul he has lost his soul and now hates himself that's why he still talks garbage about bodyboarders.
