If you’re a bigger build, then you could go an inch or two bigger, or even a wider or thicker board to aid in floatation.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eYou’ll see that some boards are designed with deck contours and nose bulbs for\u003cbr\u003e comfort and grip. Definitely take the opportunity to try out different bodyboards whenever you can and get a feel for what you like.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBigger \/ Smaller boards have their advantages and disadvantages, and its best to consider what sort of conditions you will be riding most often. Generally bigger boards are faster, but not as easy to control, and generally suited to smaller waves. On the other hand smaller boards are a bit harder to generate speed, however have greater control and are ideal for bigger waves. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor kids, a helpful rule of thumb is to add their age to 30\" for an approximate size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003e  \u003cp\u003e2 years = 30–32\"\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e  \u003cp\u003e4 years = 32–34\"\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e  \u003cp\u003e6 years = 34–36\"\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e  \u003cp\u003e8 years = 36–38\"\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e  \u003cp\u003e10 years = 38–40\"\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e  \u003cp\u003e12 years = 40–41\"\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIf your still unsure, check out the ‘bodyboard size guide’ below for help:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Stealth bodyboards correct board size chart height and weight\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1375\/3517\/files\/Board_Size_Chart_ddbb12c6-c2c9-4a69-af71-5878742acb69_grande.jpg?v=1484887891\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Stealth","offers":[{"title":"STEALTH 2026 TANK EPS 45 BLUE","offer_id":52920861294821,"sku":"TANK\/45\/BLUE","price":159.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"STEALTH 2026 TANK EPS 45 GREY","offer_id":52920861491429,"sku":"TANK\/45\/GREY","price":159.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/6874\/9029\/files\/4ea083a32b82e82a2f21c6d12289a512.jpg?v=1790054811","url":"https:\/\/coastys.nz\/products\/stealth-2026-tank-eps-45","provider":"Coastys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
