Description

Design details

User-friendly and educational
To help you catch more waves, we are working to make our products as intuitive as possible and to incorporate instruction. This bodyboard has an ergonomic deck, which allows you to get into the right position automatically. Information about user size and wave size are indicated on the board. A QR code on the bottom gives you access to tutorials and other useful information: care, 2nd life, etc.
Size guide
The size of the bodyboard directly influences its stability and ease of handling. It should be tailored to the size of the user. This 100 bodyboard is available in 3 sizes depending on user height: Size 36" if you are 1.25 m to 1.45 m tall Size 39" if you are 1.45 m to 1.65 m tall Size 42" if you are 1.65 m to 1.85 m tall A bodyboard that is too small will not be buoyant enough, and you'll miss the waves. A board that’s too big will be difficult to handle.
We design bodyboarding products for 4 levels: Novice, beginner, intermediate, advanced
- Novices: Designed for catching small waves (< 50 m) in shallow water below navel level. Push off the ground with your feet and ride the wave to shore. - Beginner: Gentle turns in waves up to 1 m, propulsion with fins. A must for learning to bodyboard. - Intermediate: Waves up to 1.5 m, more speed, and starting tricks (360°, El Rollo, etc.). - Advanced: All types of waves, doing tricks, even aerial ones (ARS, tube, 360°, etc.).
Designed to be used for intended sizes and conditions: Beginner level
This 100 bodyboard is designed for use in waves up to 1 m high. It has been tested and approved in real conditions by beginners, intermediate, and advanced users. Use in waves over 1 m high can cause damage: breaks, bending... In this case, opt for the 500 or 900 bodyboards. The plastic-coated underside of this bodyboard makes for a better glide and is stronger. Wear, other than breakage, can be repaired. For more information, visit decathlon.ca or ask about repairs in our stores.
Did you know? Fins help you catch more waves!
When the water is higher than your belly button, it’s hard to catch waves without fins. You can no longer push off with your feet, and paddling with your arms is often not enough. With fins, you can catch 2 to 3 times more waves and have more fun! Fins allow you to move faster and considerably increase propulsion during take-off. Fins: Don't forget them!
The correct position on the bodyboard guarantees a good ride on the wave
The deck of the bodyboard is pre-formed for correct positioning of the hands and elbows. Keep both hands on the front of the board as you catch a wave. To turn left, keep your left hand in front (hand, elbows and shoulders aligned, arm at 90°) and move your right hand along the rail right up the middle of the board. Position left leg in line with the left rail to maintain direction. Do the opposite to go right.
Recommendations
You should be lying flat on the bodyboard when catching waves. Wear a long-sleeved anti-UV top or a wetsuit to avoid chaffing 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.
Water safety and etiquette - Part 1
Bodyboarding is a fantastic sport, but certain basic rules need to be followed to ensure safety and enjoyment for all. 1- Ask questions and observe the peculiarities of the spot: current, rocks, tidal influence, wave size, number of people in the water, etc. 2- Don’t overestimate your experience level, and go for an easier spot if your skills are no match for the conditions. 3- Use proper equipment that’s in good condition (leash, fins, board, wetsuit).
Water safety and etiquette - Part 2
4- Follow the wave priority rules: Right-of-way goes to the person closest to the peak. 5- Avoid the breaking wave area when moving back up to the peak to avoid cutting another boarder off. 6- Use fins if the water is above your hips. 7- If you’re not using fins, stay in a supervised area. 8- Bodyboard in a group.
Do not expose the bodyboard to direct heat
Avoid leaving your bodyboard in direct sun or in temperatures above 50°C. Keep it in a bodyboard bag and place it under a parasol, in the shade, or under a light-coloured towel to protect it from the heat. Never leave it in a hot car. Too much heat can cause your board to blister, bubble, or warp.
Tips on repairing your board
Despite all the care taken in the design of our products, the foam may break off or you may puncture it.
