Newbie
Hello, just joined the forum, looks pretty good. Is there any other bodyboarders on here?? Couldnt find any bodyboarding forums for the UK, so I might aswell ask here..
Right, I need some new fins, i've got around £50 to spend, if anyone could reccommend some that would be cool.
Cheers,
Paul.

Hi Paul,welcome to the board. 
I also bodyboard.I use Okespor Wedge Rider fins,which are ace,i bought them 12 years ago.But i am not sure wether you can still get them.The next best in your price range are Churchill fins.
Try the search engines,you might find something really good.

HI ya d00d,
welcome to the site,
I surf and bodyboard too....
Used to work in a surf shop- i would defo say the classic churchills (in the famous blue and yellow) fins- they are great fins!
I have currently got manta sharp cuts0
 which are ideal for drop knee, but no so great for paddling out etc compared to my old churhills!! |

you should definatley use flippers when BB, everything is improved your speed, consitecey balance etc i used to BB with the newer samller churchill fins (The Slashers) and alder webbed gloves ...makes you go like a rocket
but fins is a definate thing to have if BB and always go with churchill they kick ass!
i still have my BZ t10 BB somehwere aswell..

Fellow Bodyboarder ( hate the term sponger ) - Welcome to the forum
I converted full time from stand up about six years ago, though I do still dabble occasionally but have always bodyboarded on & off till then anyway.
Good choice on the fins which are wholely necessary if in the line up or on the bigger surf. Hope you enjoy the forum. |
