Advantages: Fun, and good for Life

Disadvantages: Expensive to start off

This is one of the best sports around. True it does not quite have the same “hype” as Surfing, but neither the less its still bloody good fun.
The first thing you should do is borrowing a Body board from a friend and go and hit those waves. It’s best to do it like this as it can be expensive to buy all the gear, and if you find it’s not for you then it’s a waste of money.
If you find you like it, just wait until you have a bit of practice, then the Fun happens!!
Tricks and Stunts only come with practice, like the famous Drop-Knee. That is one of the basic moves to learn, and it makes you look like your King of Waves…
When conditions are right, and waves are just right, then further stunts like “Airs” can be achieved.
Regarding all that, it is still classed a “X-Stream” sport due to the fact that it is dangerous. It is easy to get knocked of your board 9happens to me all the time), but on the rare occasions, when you get knocked off your board you could hit your head and be knocked out. This is not a good situation to be in!!!
But above all body Boarding is Fun and a real adrenalin rush!!!
Happy Boarding.
