What is a bodyboard and how is it different from a surfboard?

A bodyboard is a soft, rectangular board designed for riding ocean waves while lying down, making it easier to balance and control than a traditional surfboard, where you stand up. Bodyboards are lighter, great for all ages and skill levels, and ideal for anyone looking for an easy and fun entry to wave-riding.

How do I choose the right size Sola bodyboard for me?

To select the perfect Sola bodyboard, match the board's length to your height and weight. Generally, when the board stands vertically next to you, the top should reach your belly button. If you need personalized advice, simply tap the blue 'live chat' button on our site and our experts will help you find the ideal size.

What equipment do I need to start bodyboarding?

You only need a few essentials to start bodyboarding: a Sola bodyboard, a leash to secure the board to your wrist, and swim fins to help you catch and control waves. Our bodyboards come ready to go, and we offer helpful accessories to enhance your experience.

Is bodyboarding safe for beginners and children?

Yes, bodyboarding is generally safe for beginners and kids, thanks to the board's soft construction and simple technique. Always check beach conditions, swim near lifeguards, and supervise young riders. Start on smaller waves to build confidence in a fun and safe environment.
