    So i've asked this question before but I just wanted another round of opinions and advice before I went out and got another board. I am 5ft 6in and weight around 190-195lbs give or take a few. I currently own the BODY GLOVE 45-inch Big Tuna Bodyboard http://www.surfshop.com/bodyglove-big-tuna-45-bodyboard-12592
    Is this board too big? Should I go buy the Morey Cruiser 42.5" Body Board? (http://www.amazon.com/Morey-Cruiser-42-5-Board-Colors/dp/B000A8BTW0. I am an intermediate rider. Thanks in advance for the advice.

    Morey cruiser is the Cadillac of boogs on budget. I'd sell u mine, but my dealer says they're only gonna go up in value, so I think I'm gonna hang on to it. Get it? Hang on to my boog?

    What makes you an intermediary rider, to your mind?

    Dude, you're like a sphere!

    Get a 40-42" boog. Those boards you mentioned are craptastic. CustomX is a good company for beginners to intermediate. Get PE/DOW core with 1 or 2 stringers. Should run about $120. Try ebodyboarding.com

    Most of the brands there are solid.

    i remember the first day i got it... went to the beach and behold - the beach was getting pounded by 3'+ all shore breaking... i held it in my both hands in front of me and charged for the water... it was so light and fragile compared to my surfboards...i held it lightly..the first wave that touched my boog, send it flying flat into my forehead and so a bond was born.. our bond.
    i've since twisted its corners vigorously with my wrists numerous times and upgraded the wrist leash to a bicep. even spent around 1/4 of a sticky bumps bar on marking the grip points for the elbows...

    I am better than 90% of people who ride bodyboards IE the 909ners that go out and ride waves straight, the 7 year olds etc. But I guess when it comes to serious bodyboarders. I am a beginner. I would go with a custom x or a Science board.
