Best Bodyboards of 2025

"I bought two boards for our summer beach vacation in California, and my kids absolutely loved them. They held up well with nonstop use over several days at the beach. Plus, they were cheaper than renting similar quality boards!"

"I purchased four boards for my kids on our recent trip to Orange Beach, and they performed exceptionally well in rough surf. Even at 200 lbs, I had no trouble riding waves, thanks to the super slick belly and convenient grooves for gripping."

"The board arrived well-packaged and is truly a beauty. It's lightweight and smooth, and I can't wait for beach time to see how it rides. I'm sure my grandson will love having his own board this year!"

"I bought these for my teens to use in the Outer Banks. They held up great in very large waves for a week and still look brand new. I highly recommend buying them here instead of at the beach as they are half price!"

"These boards were a definite hit during our recent family vacation to Myrtle Beach. Everyone from my 14 and 15-year-old boys to my 5 and 6-year-old nieces had a blast. The great quality and extremely durable design with bright colors impressed us all!"

"I purchased these for my kids, both under 100 lbs. After some big waves, I grabbed one and it held my weight (170 lbs) with no flex. Definitely a good value and durable!"

"I took the boards out for about 3 hours and they performed wonderfully! They felt very sturdy and durable, plus were easy to control. The slick bottom made it feel like we were gliding on the waves. Just a tip, keep them in the shade when not in use to avoid bubbling and material separation. My only minor issue was the leash; it felt a bit short and would press against the board."

"I was really disappointed with this board. It felt like a poorly designed product made from cheap materials. After just one use, it started falling apart. I wish I hadn't wasted my money."

"As a 225 lb man, this board keeps me on top of the water without any issues. It's impressive!"

"I've had boogie boards before, and they usually break in half, but these held up so well! My kids, ages 13, 14, and 16, all used them, and they are still in perfect condition!"

"I bought this for my 9-year-old's birthday, and it was a surprise gift in her favorite color. The size is perfect for her, and the leash fits well. Even though it was lost in transit for a bit, we were both happy when it finally arrived!"

"I ordered two boards from different places, and this one is definitely better quality than the other. I can tell it will hold up well against Florida sun, salt, and waves. My daughter had a blast on it!"

"I'm really impressed with the quality and dimensions of this board. It's large enough to float bigger bodies and perfect for long rides. Plus, it fits nicely in my car's trunk with beach chairs!"

"This board is a significant upgrade from my previous one. It's strong and ideal for riding ocean waves!"

"I got this as a gift for a friend. If you can find a quality board with a stringer for under $100, I'm all for it!"

"I'm a beginner at bodyboarding, and this board has been amazing so far!"

"I believe the THURSO SURF Quill 42” bodyboard is the best I've ever owned. It's lightweight and durable, providing me with great maneuverability. During my week at Gulf Shores, Alabama, I caught countless waves and even had people ask if I was a pro!"

"Although I weigh 220lbs, I still found that this board floated and supported me well. My nephew had a fantastic time riding it. I was impressed with its solid feel and high-quality construction!"

"This board is fantastic! It's super sturdy and made from good material. It’s large enough for a bigger guy to enjoy. Overall, I absolutely love this board!"

"I purchased the 33-inch board for my 6-year-old granddaughter, and she absolutely loves it! Living near the beach, it's been getting a lot of use. The quality is impressive, and I'm confident she'll enjoy it for many years to come."

"We took the 41-inch board to the beach, but I found it rather small for adults. While the board itself was decent, the lanyard was disappointing. It was just a plain nylon cord that didn't fit well for us adults and was quite short, making it nearly unusable for anyone but smaller adults or kids."

"My kids have used this board a couple of times since we bought it, and it’s larger than most we’ve had before. The firm foam material on top and the smooth, rigid bottom make it feel sturdy and well-made. The leash is fantastic! My son loves how bright and colorful it is; it stands out in the water. Plus, it’s lightweight—my 10-year-old has no trouble carrying it. If you're looking for a lightweight and durable board, this one is perfect!"

"I have not made it through a beach season without breaking my boogie boards! After trying the Big Kahuna boards, I was immediately impressed by their size. They’re larger than any I’ve owned, yet still easy for my 8 and 9 year olds to use. I'm hopeful they’ll last through the summer!"

"As someone who is 6'2” and 220lbs, this board is perfect for me. I’ve had smaller boards that just didn’t work, but the Kahuna really gets it done. It’s a great fit for wave riding!"

"I experienced quite a hassle with the seller. I found their customer service to be almost non-existent. If you run into issues, expect late delivery and no communication. I really regret my purchase."

"After not using a body board for more than 30 years, I’m amazed by the improved quality of this board."

"I bought this for my son who was just 8 years old; it was a bit large for him, but it's been in great shape for three years now. I'd definitely recommend it!"

"Investing in this board was worth it; my last one broke without a stringer, but this one is the best I've ever had!"

"I was thrilled with this board. Once inflated, it stays inflated and works awesome. I used it for five days in Daytona Beach and had many people ask where I bought it. It's compact enough to fit in my suitcase, yet big enough for me (6' 200') to ride the waves consistently."

"This inflatable board exceeded my expectations. At 6'5 and 340, there aren't many options for larger riders without spending a fortune. I previously had two BGBT 45” boards, but this one is much better at 2/3 the price. The strap handles took some getting used to, but they provide better control and stability once you adapt. I highly recommend this for bigger riders; it’s the perfect size."

"As a single woman in my 50s, I initially wanted to take my inflatable SUP to Puerto Rico, but it was too cumbersome to manage alone. Instead, I opted for this inflatable body board, which I packed into my largest backpack. It’s seriously fun, but if you're short like me (5' 3"), it requires some practice to maneuver. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be the envy of everyone at the beach!"
