Adult bodyboard 500 with leash

Description

Designed for intermediate bodyboarders. Fins required. Wear a top or wetsuit to avoid chafing. 4 sizes. To help you catch more waves, we make our products as intuitive and educational as possible. That is why this bodyboard has an ergonomic bridge that will allow you to spontaneously position yourself correctly. The included leash can be attached to either the wrist or the bicep (exclusive to Decathlon), depending on your preference. Indications regarding user height and wave size are permanently specified on the board. A QR code on the bottom will allow you to access tutorials and other useful information: maintenance, second life, etc. Size guide/How to choose the bodyboard size? The size of the bodyboard directly influences its stability and handling. It must be adapted to the user's height. This 500 bodyboard is available in 4 sizes, depending on the user's height: Size 38" if you are between 1.35 m and 1.55 m Size 40" between 1.55 m and 1.70 m Size 41.5" between 1.70 m and 1.85 m Size 43.5" above 1.85 m A bodyboard that is too small will not float enough and will make you lose waves. A bodyboard that is too large will be more difficult to handle. We design bodyboarding products according to 4 levels of practice: discovery, initiation, intermediate, and expert. - Discovery: water up to the navel, no fins, foam < 50 cm, propulsion by pushing off the ground, riding the wave to the shore. Priority: pleasure and first sensations (bodyboard with handles). - Initiation: Slight turns on waves < 1 m, propulsion with fins. Priority: learning the sport. - Intermediate: Waves up to 1.5 m, more speed and first tricks (360°, El Rollo...). - Expert: All types of waves, mastery of tricks, including aerials: ARS, 360°, tube... Design adapted to the intended body types and conditions of use: Intermediate level. Bodyboard equipped with a high-density slick, dense EPO foam core (30 kg/m3), two fiberglass stringers, and a new 128 g EPE coating. This board provides good responsiveness and solidity in suitable wave conditions. In waves >1.5 m, opt for the 900 bodyboard. With a denser core (PP), it better resists impacts, turbulence, and landing maneuvers. It can be repaired except in case of breakage or creasing, find out more online and in-store. Did you know? Using fins allows you to catch 2 or 3 times more waves. In the ocean, when the water is above the navel, it is very difficult to catch waves if you do not use fins. In fact, it is no longer possible to propel yourself by pushing your feet against the ground to gain momentum for the wave, and paddling with your arms is often insufficient. For an initiation to bodyboarding in good conditions, optimal progression, and greater protection against coastal currents, we strongly recommend the use of bodyboard fins.
