So why do these boards cost more? Fins out the benefits of a P.E Core bodyboard below..
P.E. Core bodyboards (made with a Polyethylene core) is chosen for specific performance characteristics that suit certain wave and water conditions. Here’s why someone might opt for a P.E. Core bodyboard:
1. Flexibility & Control
-
P.E. core is more flexible than other cores like Polypropylene (PP), giving riders more control in smaller or colder surf.
-
Flexibility helps in absorbing bumps and maintaining better grip on the wave face.
2. Durability & Comfort
-
Slightly heavier and denser, which offers a smoother ride and better shock absorption.
-
Often paired with a stringer (a reinforcing rod inside the board) to balance flexibility and strength.
- Can last a lifetime. Not a throw away holiday product!
3. Cost-Effective
-
Typically cheaper than PP-core boards, making them a great choice for beginners to intermediate riders or those on a budget but still wanting a quality board. PP boards tend to start in the £200 range and are better suited to tropical water.
