The world's first bodyboard made of recycled material! PRIDE recycled bodyboards are made in France from at least 63% recycled polyethylene (PE)! The world avoids 2 tonnes of virgin PE per year thanks to this 1 company's innovation - that's 12 tonnes of CO2 avoided - it would have taken 550 trees to absorb that. Now imagine the impact when this becomes the new normal!
Whereas the other board we stock (Stereo) is a beginner board, this Timeless is an improver board, for someone who already loves to bodyboard. It's a first step into premium bodyboards.
The size you need depends on the user's bodyweight and height, as well as their bodyboarding experience (see table below).
You probably need a leash if you don't already have one, to ensure your board isn't lost in the water. And a pair of (recycled natural rubber) flippers can make it even more fun!
