FAQ’s Body Boards For Kids
There’s no minimum age to learn body boarding, but choosing the right board will definitely help.
Make sure the body board has a wide enough cross-section, so kids can float and bodysurf with ease. Be comfortable in the sea and always stay in the shallows. Wear a wetsuit and learn the basics of catching a wave.
Most are designed for adults and would be too big for kids to control. Check when you buy as some are specially made for a certain age and weight.
A boogie board is for smaller waves and a bit of fun in the water, while the body board is for larger waves and more serious body surfers.
