Reviews of the Wave Skater Pro 48”
(NOT a paid advertisement)

Surfindaddy’s (aka Tony) thoughts:

I’m writing this review as a “newbie” to the body boarding world, because generally, if there is much surf, I end up on my surfboard.  The following is my experience with the 48” Wave Skater Pro.

I never could really get into the body boarding thing in the past – never was that impressed.  I’ve tried the typical “boogie” boards in various forms, none ever gave me the thrill I get on my surfboard.  I have to say, though, that after getting a chance to ride the Wave Skater and Wave Skater Pro, my opinion has changed.  Body boarding gives you a closer experience with the wave, and once you’ve done a bottom turn and felt the acceleration down the line on a Wave Skater Pro, you realize that you stall by just leaning back, and accelerate by leaning forward.  Because of the elbow channels, it is very easy to reposition your body on the board.  This ride is so responsive – and it turns so easily!  I weigh 190 pounds, yet the slightest input and wow, I’m on the face and off the lip, over the falls.  Mind you, I haven’t spent a lot of time – as a matter of fact, I’m really a rank amateur to body boarding.

Kay’s thoughts:

I’m usually on the beach – mostly behind the camera.  It has been years since I swam regularly, and I was never a big fan of body boards!  A few months ago, I got out our Wave Skaters on a beautiful warm and sunny day at the beach – and I spent a couple hours in the water – the most fun I’ve had in the water in years.  You have to realize – I was a water-baby growing up, loved to swim, but as I got older I just got away from it as I *hate* cold water, so the conditions have to be really just right for me to want to get into the ocean!   So I haven’t yet tried the Wave Skater Pro.  Our daughters are not surfers nor experienced bodyboarders either, but they have both tried the new Wave Skater Pro and proclaimed it even better than the original – which they’ve used and loved for several years!
