Are cheap bodyboards any good?
Cheap Bodyboards: These cores are less responsive and provide less buoyancy compared to high-density cores. Deck and Bottom: They often have a slick, low-grade plastic bottom and a soft, easily compressible deck material. These materials are less durable and may deteriorate faster. There are many factors to consider when choosing the right length board for you. Both your height and weight should be considered when deciding on a board size. For example, taller and heavier bodyboarders may want to size up on bodyboard length, as longer or wider and thicker boards offer more volume or floatation.Bigger bodyboards are not necessarily better; it depends on your size, weight, and skill level. Larger boards offer more buoyancy and stability but can be less manoeuvrable.
What is the difference between cheap and expensive bodyboards?
Entry-level bodyboards may lack durability and can break easily, especially if exposed to rough waves and prolonged use. More expensive boards have a stronger cores, often have stringers (strengthening strips of wood running down their length) and are generally much stronger and will last a lot longer. Warning: while this construction is strong and durable these boards are not indestructable – they will dent, ding, and even break, just like all surfboards.
