3. Operating Instructions
Bodyboarding is an exciting water sport. Follow these basic guidelines for safe and effective use of your Tribord 100 Bodyboard.
3.1 Entering the Water
- Always check local beach conditions, currents, and flag warnings before entering the water.
- Ensure your leash is securely attached to both the board and your wrist.
- Walk into the water until it is deep enough to comfortably float the board.
3.2 Riding a Wave
- Position yourself face down on the bodyboard, with your chest centered on the board and your hands gripping the nose or rails.
- As a wave approaches, kick your legs vigorously to gain momentum.
- Once the wave catches the board, maintain your balance and enjoy the ride. You can steer by shifting your weight and using your elbows or hands on the rails.
- To exit the wave, gently shift your weight off the board or let the wave carry you to shallower water.

4. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your bodyboard and ensure optimal performance.
- Rinse After Use: After each use in saltwater, rinse your bodyboard thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris.
- Dry Properly: Allow the bodyboard to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area before storing. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can damage the board's materials.
- Storage: Store the bodyboard flat or on its side in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Do not store heavy objects on top of the board.
- Inspect Leash: Regularly check the leash for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace the leash if it shows significant signs of degradation.
