I am reviewing hotbuttered bodyboards. 3 summers ago my parents brought me what i now realise is a holiday maker bodyboard. since then i have been getting progresivly better so i decided to invest money i a new board. my parents went halves with me on a new board and brought a hotbuttered vee in the sales for about £120. This blew most of my birthday money so was unable to put a leash in it. i brought me some wax though and went on it on the same day. Instantly i could feel the difference. I grabbed the waves that came and hung on to all the waves that i caught. i stuck to the board excellently. i am still saving for a leash but i dont care as the board has never slipped out of my hands because of the TRS which is the tappered rail system that alows your to grip the rail alot better than before which means turns can be sharper and faster allowing for higher rolls and faster tricks which means more tricks to a wave. this board is priced for tehmore serious boarder but if you wan top quality this is where to come. this board is more suited though to prone riders.

Having used a HotButtered board several times I will agree they’re easy to ride and worth the money. (Let’s face it the holidaymaker boards you refer to aren’t). But please get a leash as there is nothing more annoying (or dangerous) than watching someone wipe out in front of you, only to get their board your face. Plus when you get a bit better, it’s a long swim back to shore. Cheers!

Hi! A good first opinion but for a very helpful rating a little more detail would have been required. Welcome to Ciao - crowbar2000

I barely understand a single word of this! That's down to me, though - growing up in the landlocked Midlands probably hasn't helped. Not a bad opinion, thoughn it would be improved if you wrote in paragraphs (with spaces between), and ran a spellchecker over it. Enjoy yourself at Ciao!
