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.<br /> <br /> == Best Spots ==<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Mar Bravo]] (Salinas)&#039;&#039;&#039; — 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.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Montañita&#039;&#039;&#039; — 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.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Playa de Mar Bravo (Salinas)]]&#039;&#039;&#039; — A consistent wave that can be powerful; experienced riders only when large.<br /> <br /> == Equipment ==<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> == Safety ==<br /> <br /> * Respect the power of shore dump waves — they can injure beginners<br /> * Be aware of rip currents at beach breaks<br /> * Don&#039;t bodyboard near swimmers<br /> * At [[Mar Bravo]], the waves can be very powerful; only enter if you are a strong swimmer<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[Surfing]]<br /> * [[Surfing Lessons]]<br /> * [[Swimming]]<br /> * [[Mar Bravo]]<br /> * [[Montañita]]<br /> * [[Portal:Sports in La Peninsula]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Sports]]<br /> [[Category:Beach Activities]]<br /> [[Category:La Peninsula]]</div>
