ETHAN CAPDEVILLE TEMPLATE
Designed for technical, high performance bodyboarding in a variety of waves conditions.
It features a slightly higher widepoint and a little more curve than our other Pro Model boards.
K15 CORE (PP)
The best of both worlds! The K15 Core has all the benefits of regular PP with a touch of added softness making it ideal for Cool-Mid climates or those who like a touch of flex.
Like regular PP, it is lightweight & waterproof with incredible flex and recoil properties, whilst still retaining stiffness and providing durability.
STRINGER & MESH
The PP/ Stringer / Mesh combo is the most common construction style used by our team riders. These work together to provide stiffness & recoil both longitudinally and laterally, whilst also increasing durability.
SURLYN SLICK
The slick Pro Bodyboarders demand ! Finest grade authentic Dupont Surlyn™ slick skin. Surlyn™ exhibits rubber-like properties for superior projection. It is designed so as that it has minimal impact on the flex properties of the core.
PE DeckSKIN
The preferred Deck Skin of our Pro Riders as it has less effect on natural flex of the core. Also provides a little more grip than IXL Deckskin.
CrESCENT TAIL
The most popular bodyboard tail. The clipped crescent tail provides the perfect mix of hold, drive and responsiveness when you need it, in all types of conditions
CNC GRADUATED CHANNELS
These channels are constructed using an AKU Shaper Machine. This is the same machine used to create subtle concaves on surfboards, allowing millimetre perfect results.
They are positioned as close to the rail as possible and lightly graduated to give the rider the perfect balance of hold on the face, release when you need it, and speed!
55/45 DOUBLE RAILS
The two IXLPE Rails provide extra strength, while the 55/45 Rail shape allows a touch more rail to be in the water, allowing for greater control.
DECK CONTOURS & Nose BuLBS
Slick side Nose Bulbs on the nose of the board & recessed hand grips on the rails to provide extra grip in critical situations, and extra comfort for everyday riding.
Suggested Sizing
As a general guide, a bodyboard should go to the rider's belly button. apart from that, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to choosing the correct size board. Generally bigger boards are faster, but not as easy to control, and generally suited to smaller waves and beginners. On the other hand smaller boards are a bit harder to generate speed, however, have greater control and are ideal for bigger waves and more advanced riders.
As a guide, please refer to the table below. If you're a beginner, you are probably best suited to a size in which you fall in the lower end of the weight range. ie. 40kg beginner woudl be best suited to 38", not 36".
Board Size | Weight Range |
34" | <30kg |
36" | 25-40kg |
38" | 35-50kg |
40" | 45-75kg |
42" | 65-95kg |
44" | 80-105kg |
