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.
The Shaka is the perfect entry level bodyboard. It features 2 X Handles to make learning and holding on as easy as possible.
The EPS core is light weight and waterproof, and the fuse moulded shape ensures every board comes out perfectly.
As an entry level board it is generally suited to lighter use in smaller surf conditions.
