ECUAWIKI › SPORTS › BODYBOARDING

Bodyboarding (also called boogie boarding) is a popular and accessible wave-riding activity on the Santa Elena Peninsula. Riders lie prone on a short foam board and ride breaking waves. It requires less skill than surfing to get started, making it popular with visitors and children.

== Best Spots ==

'''[[Mar Bravo]] (Salinas)''' — The rougher waves on the north side of the Salinas peninsula create excellent bodyboarding shore dumps. Mar Bravo is famous for its powerful, close-shore breaking waves — great for experienced bodyboarders, though the strong shore break deserves respect.

'''Montañita''' — The main beach outside the primary surf break zone has wave conditions suitable for bodyboarding, particularly in front of the village. Some [[Surfing Lessons|surf schools]] rent bodyboards.

'''[[Playa de Mar Bravo (Salinas)]]''' — A consistent wave that can be powerful; experienced riders only when large.

== Equipment ==

Bodyboards can be rented from surf shops in Montañita for approximately $5–$10 per hour. Fins are optional but recommended for maneuvering in shore dumps. Board shorts or a rash guard are advisable to protect skin.

== Safety ==

* Respect the power of shore dump waves — they can injure beginners
* Be aware of rip currents at beach breaks
* Don't bodyboard near swimmers
* At [[Mar Bravo]], the waves can be very powerful; only enter if you are a strong swimmer
