How To Stop Bodyboard Fin Rubs
Do you suffer from fin rub when bodyboarding? You’re not alone. Those pesky blisters can put a serious dampner on even the most epic waves. But fear not, Bodyboard Holidays founder Rob Barber, a seasoned pro with decades of wave-chasing experience, is here to share his top tip for preventing fin rub before it starts!
Decades of Experience, One Simple Solution:
Rob’s secret weapon? Compeed pads. Applying them to your feet the day before your trip or bodyboarding session allows them to adhere properly, maximising their time protecting you from those dreaded rubs. Fins will rub in the same place each time. So protect that area before you even get to the beach. This defensive action has served Rob perfectly for years of bodyboarding sessions and international coaching holidays.Â
Simple Steps, Big Results:
- Pack your board, sunscreen, and… Compeed pads!
- Apply the pads to clean, dry skin on your toes, heels, or any potential rub points the day before your trip.
- Pop your fins on and shred worry-free!
