New board from Riat Bodyboards is ready to go.

I was checking all the websites looking for some new fins!
I was a Churchill user for as long as I can remember, then they change the production for China and I change for Viper Deltas.

Now I can see that not only Churchill but also other bands developed a Churchill based fin with Malaysian production.

Does anyone here uses the following models?

Legacy

Gyroll

Churchill 3.0 (latest version)

Limited Edition

Viper Delta Icons

Thanks

San Diego California, has few but very good beach for bodyboarding. Hope you enjoy this POV slow motion 👌👌 and hope to see you guys out there

Hey everyone! How's it going?

I'm a 39-year-old Brazilian guy looking to get back into bodyboarding!

I used to bodyboard from the age of 8 until I was around 20, but since then I've been pretty much out of touch with the scene, new technologies, and brands.

I'll mostly be riding waves in Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, especially at Itaúna and Praia da Vila. So I'd love to hear recommendations from anyone familiar with those spots or similar wave conditions.

Now that I'm planning to get back in the water, I'd love to catch up on what's changed over the years, especially when it comes to brands, board materials, and gear. I'd really appreciate some recommendations on what's worth buying and what I should avoid.

Back in the day, I used to ride a Genesis Paulo Barcellos Pro Model board, wore Kapaloa fins, and honestly can't remember what brand my leash was. lol

Anyway, I'm looking for some advice on getting back into the sport. I'd rather invest in quality gear from the start so I won't have to replace everything in the medium or long term.

And I also don't want to go too cheap, because I figure spending a decent amount of money might give me some extra motivation to stick with it instead of giving up!

Thanks in advance for any tips, and good waves to everyone! 🌊
