As you know the summers been a little stormy this year. Days when its too ruff for kayaking or paddle boarding… too little wind for sailing. So I stared looking at boards.
So what’s a bellyboard?
And a bodyboard?
Now here’s the main issues…. bodyboards are made from polystyrene and causing pollution issues.
See:

The wooden boards seem to be for lovey sandy beach’s not the wall of pebbles around Sussex.
I pop into decathlon on my way home and took a look in person. There something really reassuring about a bodyboard. The size and shape bring back memories of those floats they gave us at school while learning to swim.
I’ve not seen a bellyboard yet on the beaches here, so I have no idea if there any good. And I cant think of anyone to ask.
So I’m going to pick up a cheap bodyboard for now. For under £30 I can try it out and think about picking up a wooden one for next summer.
