Hi guys, heading down to PR in January for a week to catch some waves. I'm flying from Newark via Continental and am wondering what they charged for your boards? Trying to see if I'd save money by buying a board down there and leaving it behind... Thanks in advance, haven't traveled with my gear, via plane, in a few years so I'm sure policies have changed just like they have for checking standard baggage.

After 8 years in hiatus I am looking to get back into action. I used to boogie board all the time for 20 years. Pretty aggressive and fearless female. However - wao! everything has gotten more complicated as far as selecting the right board. So I am looking for some down to earth advice. In a nutshell, I think I would like something made out of Polyethylene, stringy, crescent tail, 41", and 51mm thick. Any recommendations? Muchas gracias!

Wondering if you can help with recco for new board...

I'm 5'11", 200-210llbs

Currently ride a Mach 7-7 (blue deck, crescent tail, no channels which got in 2006 or so). Live in NC and ride mostly beachbreak conditions (Here in NC, Gold Coast Aus, Florida) and take the occaisional trip to Carribean / Pacific Side of Costa Rica.

In general, still like the speed and turn of my board, but it feels kinda heavy and found during trip to Costa Rica, was hard to paddle and get into waves that require extra glide and push.

Any suggestions? Been looking at Turbo Botha, Custom X Axum...

Thanks!

Looking for a review or something on it. I want it for dropknee, wondering if anyones tried it,see how they feel about it. If they think its to big for a dropknee board(i dont do stand up and i know its a good standup board).

Nick - welcome as well!

Where's your home break? Can you share some pictures?

Hey Karma
Hi, that's a nice site at bodyboardingwa.com
Joe

I have something of a guide to boards at
bodyboardingwa.com.au/gear/boards
apart from listing features It doesn't say much, Morey are the Original, Manta make some good boads I ride a 2009 Tom Smith. Science make some nice boards, shop around don't pay too much.

Thought I should introduce myself not on the east coast on the west of australia that is.
I run bodyboardingwa.com.au and I spend a bunch of time hanging out in forums answering peoples questions. I love bodyboarding, look forwarding to lending my experience to peopels problems.

Honestly In a lake? Thats pretty cool is it fresh or salt water? Being usually pretty calm the bottom would have a good grade, does it break well. Hit the boys from goose goose revolution up on vimeo they're canadian too I think, I'm pretty sure.
