Time to buy a bodyboard

hey guys, i know its not about surfing but i figured this would be the place to ask
im going to be in marlo a bit this winter and im going to be spending a fair amount of time in the surf
can anybody suggest a good but cheap as possible bodyboard for me? or even just a website or place to go to find or ask for one?

thanks guys

If you are around the gong my friends have a bodyboard, skate, surf factory outlet called Stoke factory. I just picked up up a new board for $220 on sale from $400. Could be worth a look. Tell em Crackers sent you! http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Stoke-Factory/217790061640237

that sounds sick but i live a bit far south, next time i go up there i might drop by for a look
thanks anyway

thanks for the bday wishes, jordan!

Cos you’re down there where it is fairly cold, I’d definitely be getting a board with a dow core (also know as PE - Polyethylene).

Geez, you are tall and skinny! I actually am not sure what size board someone with those proportions might use. maybe 41.5 inches? or thereabouts?

no problem thanks for all this help
sweet il try and check them all out at school tomorrow

alright il keep my eye out for this “dow core” when buying

haha like a stick figure yea that sounds about the right size thanks

yeah body board surf co is just down the road from me in narrabeen awesome selection of body boards! should check heir wedsite out. i ride a Nomad pretty standard board cost a few hundred but nothing too expensive, my brother has a VS more on the expensive side but again no matter what board or brand they will have entry level and an advanced range. worth checking their stock out though mate.

thanks, at the moment im thinking a nomad covert 42’
yes or no?

probably do the job perfectly. Is it a dow (or PE) core?

PE
