Frequently asked questions about bodyboard brands

What is the best bodyboard brand?

There is no best brand in absolute terms: it all depends on what you are looking for. For boards, Pride covers the whole range, from PE for beginners to PP for committed riding, while Hardy Shapes and Hexaboards target powerful waves. For fins, DaFiN, Vulcan, Yucca and Orca cover needs from beginner to experienced rider. The foam and the size of the board matter more than the name on the deck.

Are there any French bodyboard brands?

Yes. Pride was founded in 1999 in Biarritz with the aim of taking European bodyboarding to the world stage.

Should your board and fins be from the same brand?

No. A board is chosen on its foam, shape and size, fins on their shape, stiffness and fit. Many riders pair a board from one brand with fins from another.

Why do some brands have no products online at the moment?

Our stock follows the brands' deliveries. Brands with no product available are still listed here, as they come back with each restock.
