Additional Product Information

Composition

Board (for surf): 80.0% Expanded Polyolefin, 10.0% Polyethylene, 10.0% Foamed Polyethylene

We make our products as intuitive and helpful as possible, to help you to catch more waves.

That's why this bodyboard has carefully an ergonomic deck, which allows you to get into the right position automatically.You can attach the leash to the handle or your biceps (an OLAIAN exclusive), whichever you prefer. The information about the size of the user and the size of the waves are permanently shown on the board. A QR code on the bottom gives you access to tutorials and other useful information: care, second life, etc.

Size guide / how to choose the right bodyboard size?

The size of the bodyboard directly influences its stability and ease of handling. It must be suited to the size and weight of its user. The 500 Bodyboard is available in different sizes, depending on height of user:Size 40” between 5' and 5'6'' tallSize 41.5” between 5'6'' and 6'1 tallSize 43.5” taller than 6'1 A bodyboard that is too small will not be buoyant enough, and you will miss the waves. A bodyboard that is too big will be hard to handle.

We design bodyboarding products for four levels: novice, beginner, intermediate and advanced.

- Novices: Up to the navel, no fins, small waves < 1'6'', propulsion by pushing your feet on the ground, then riding the wave to the shore. For a 1st wave-riding experience (bodyboard with grips).- Beginner: Gentle turns in waves up to 3', propulsion with fins. A must for learning to bodyboard.- Intermediate: Waves up to 4'9, more speed and the beginning of tricks (360°, El Rollo, etc.).- Advanced: All types of waves, command of tricks, even aerial: ARS, 360°, tube...

Designed to be used for intended sizes and conditions: intermediate level.

This bodyboard is equipped with a high-density slick, a dense EPO foam core, 2 fibreglass stringers and a new 128g EPE coating. This build offers good responsiveness and stability under nominal conditions.If the waves are > 4'9'', choose the 900 bodyboard with a PP core that is denser, more resistant to shocks and makes for better landings.Wear the other breakage can be repaired. Ask on the Internet and in our stores.

Did you know? the use of fins lets you catch 2 to 3 times more waves!

When the water is higher than your belly button, it is very complicated to catch waves without fins. You can no longer push off with your feet, and paddling with your arms is often not enough.We have observed that with fins, you will catch 2 to 3 times more waves and have more fun!Fins allow you to move faster and considerably increase propulsion when taking take-off.Fins: Do not forget!

To catch waves, you must be correctly positioned on the bodyboard.

The pre-formed deck shows the right positions for the hands and elbows. The nose bumps on the front allow for a better grip.As you catch the wave, both hands are at the front.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. Align your left leg with the left rail to stay in the same direction. Do the opposite to go right.

Recommendations for avoiding chafing and having the best grip on your board.

You should be lying flat on the bodyboard when catching waves. Be sure to wear a long-sleeved anti-UV top or a wetsuit to avoid chafing on your arms and torso. We recommend you apply wax to the top of your bodyboard - especially on the front hand position, on the sides, and under your stomach - for the best grip (sold separately in the surfing aisle). Do this for each session.

Safety and behaviour rules for the water - part 1.

Bodyboarding is a fantastic sport, but one that requires everyone to respect certain basic rules to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all.1- Ask questions and observe the characteristics of the spot: current, rocks, tidal influence, size of the waves and number of people in the water, etc.2- Don’t overestimate your level, and go for an easier spot if your skills don't match up to the conditions.3- Use suitable equipment: Leash, fins and board in good condition, suitable wetsuit.

Safety and behaviour rules for the water - part 2.

4- Respect the rules of right of way on the waves: 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, it’s recommended you keep to a supervised area. Lifeguards can tell you where these are.8- Bodyboard in a group.
