If this bodyboard is used in green or white waves over 50 cm and/or by children over 40 kg, it could become damaged: breakage, bending, etc. This bodyboard does not have a dense plastic slick on the bottom; Not suitable for use where there are pebbles or shells on the shore, which could impair the glide surface.

Designed to be used for intended sizes and conditions: Novice / beginner level.

Bodyguard’s nose is preformed for optimal hand positioning. 
When catching the wave, both hands are placed at the front. 
To go left, keep left hand at the front (hand, elbow and shoulder should be aligned, with upper arm at 90° forearm), move right hand back to the middle of the board and then grab the right rail. Position left leg in line with the left rail to maintain direction. 
Do the opposite to go right.

Position body correctly on the bodyboard

Should be lying flat on the bodyboard when catching waves. Wear a long-sleeved anti-UV top or a wetsuit to avoid chafing on  arms and torso. 
Apply wax (sold separately in the surfing aisle) to the top of  bodyboard, especially on the front hand position; also apply on the sides, and under torso, for best grip. Do this for each session.

Avoiding chafing and having the best grip on board.

This bodyboard can be used with or without fins. 
Without fins, the water level should be no higher than the waist. In this case, propel towards the beach by pushing off from the ground as the wave or foam passes (less than 50 cm). 
With fins, the water level can be above the waist. Kick energetically towards the beach as the wave or foam passes.

Recommendations for use with or without fins.

Bodyboarding is a fantastic sport, but certain basic rules have to be respected to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all. 
1- Find out as much as you can about the spot. current, rocks, tides, the size of the waves and the crowds, etc. 
2- Don’t overestimate level; go for an easier spot if skills aren’t on par with the conditions.
3- Use suitable equipment: Leash, fins, board in good condition, neoprene wetsuit.

4- Follow the wave priority rules: Priority is given to whoever is closest to the breaking wave. 
5- Go around the surfing area while paddling out to the break to avoid getting in another rider's way.
6- Use fins if water level is higher than  hips. 
7- If not using fins, stay in the safe swimming area and ask lifeguards for help.
8- Ride with friends.

Water safety and etiquette - Part 2

When not in use, keep bodyboard out of the sun or temperatures higher than 30°C. 
Protect the board by using a cover, putting it under a parasol, in the shade, or under a light coloured towel to keep the heat away. 
Do not leave it in a car in direct sunlight. 
Leaving the board exposed to too much heat can cause blisters or bubbles to form, or  cause warping.
