Bodyboarding is a very popular water sport. You can learn how to bodyboard at any age. If you’re committed to catching your first wave, take a look at the best tips for novice boogie boarders.
Every kid should own a bodyboard. Today, you can find an inexpensive board in any leading sporting goods retailer. With twenty dollars, you get a nice polyethylene foam slick model.

Bodyboarding has a fast learning curve, but that doesn’t take any merit away from the sport.

You can start sliding down the face of the wave in less than 24 hours, and you might need a week – or more – to land an el rollo. It varies from person to person.

Bodyboarding is an exciting experience for kids and a thrilling adventure for the elderly. Enjoy your first boogie boarding waves, and spread the stoke.

If you just want to have fun and simultaneously impress your friends and family, tick the following boxes.

You’ll become a complete novice bodyboarder in no time. Here’s how to complete bodyboarding’s beginner level in a couple of days.
