AMAZING!! Simple as that!! First off I used to bodyboard back in '90-'05 & after a 2 decade hiatus I'm a robust 6'0 260 lb. Walked into the shop and never felt looked at as if that was an issue. Vikki helped me out right away with trying on fins, different brands, fins socks options and heel saver for perfect fit/size!! Grabbed a set of DaFin with Hubbard heel savers and picked up a Tribe Slab 2.0 bicep leash also. Super cool, and she was very understanding plus answered a few questions I had. Couldn't have been a better welcoming back to the scene ... as a "Board Again" Vikki tells me. Shout out to Alex also for helping me with board options etc. Cheers, -Kook Jefé read more

I'm 65 in Southern California, and never got into the water the 25 years I've been living here. Always thought I was too old. Then a random guy saw me fishing - not catching - on the beach and suggested, "Get a body board!" I Googled "Am I too old to body board?" and found ebodyboarding.com. Also found them on a Reddit thread. A little bit of a drive - 1 hour - but it was a nice day, so off I go. Jay accommodated me, and he's more of a teacher than a salesman ... which makes him pretty effective! He brought me into the warehouse and showed me everything I'd need to get started on body boarding. He took pains to explain why I needed this and not that, showed me items in different price ranges. Always it was "Which feels better on you?" From board to tether to fins - the only thing he wouldn't compromise on was the board. It had to be THE right one just for me. So here I am getting ready to cross off another item on my bucket list. I hit the jackpot driving over to meet Jay! read more

What more could be said about this company. You have Vickie and Jay Reale who were both professionals and legends in this sport for years, they have a very comprehensive knowledge of products and what's good for the average and top level riders. Competitions, videos, magazines, podcasts, and both are well traveled, they are part of bodyboarding history. I continue to purchase items when needed from ebodyboarding. read more

My wife Jeannie and I had an excellent experience at eBodyboarding with Jay and Vicki while shopping for Yucca Fins. Vicki was super patient, bringing out multiple sizes and flex options until we found the perfect pair: Yucca Ultra Soft Flex Short Blades. We also had a blast talking story and even realized we have mutual friends. Jay and Vicki are legends in the bodyboarding community, and they run a shop that makes you feel at home. So glad we stopped in during our stay in San Clemente -- highly recommend Yucca Fins and eBodyboarding! read more

Jay is awesome!! I had a few questions and concerns and he recommended me to the perfect board. Shipping was super fast too, but also helps I am about an hour away from his shop. hehe I cant wait to paddle out and perfect timing with swells rolling in from the hurricane. If you're in need of a reputable shop with an owner who cares and is super helpful, please give this place a shot. Will soon be getting my travel board from them as well. read more

Been watching the guys & waves at the wedge for a while. Not the type of girl to sit on the sidelines. Braved some waves around 15th with swim fins and decided I needed to just get out there and go. (Quite intimidating when you're less than 5ft and the waves are 3-4+). After much researching I decided Ebodyboarding.com was the place to go. I'm an in person shopper and was very happy to discover that this place has a shop in beautiful San Clemente, not too far from me. Truly amazing people, made me feel so welcome and that's hard to come by, especially when it's genuine. Talked to 4 staff (including the owners) and all were so friendly :) They are well stocked here and had my size (unlike six six .., cough). Many options for shapes and colors depending on your size. Good amount of leash colors which they install for you and "da fins", quite a variety to pick from. Giana (You're so awesome! Hope I got your name right) helped size me and went over what the best options were. Very knowledgable and happily shared it all with me. She made sure I could hold the larger size too. Came down to 2 size choices and Vicki helped us make the decision based on multiple factors. They really make sure the board is a good fit for you! Tried my new baby out and got a feel for how to take on waves head on (jumping over, pressing down and a duck dive). My timing needs practice, but got 1 actual wave in, a 4 footer! Thank you so much for getting me on my wayyyve ;) You guys are Reale swell! read more

Last week of April 2021, I was visiting Hawaii. Boarding at the "wall" and "graveyards" in Waikiki when I was recommended by one of the locals to buy whatever I need at ebodyboarding.com Your store/site did not disappoint. It is the best place to buy boards and supplies. Thank you read more

Haven't booged in almost twenty years. I went today and Josh spent the time with me to find the exact board for a larger rider (I'm 6'2 and ~200lbs). He got me caught up on the newest designs and showed me each and every option according to my feedback. This was EXCELLENT customer service! This is where you should be buying your bodyboards from. read more

New to the SD area and back into surf sports for the first time in almost two decades (teenage years).. 2nd purchase after discovering this resource online through other local surf shops; decided I wanted to shop in person to tighten up my quiver and find a board thats more tailored to my body and riding style and was so happy that I did! I got helped selecting a board by the man Jay Neale himself and was also able to ask a lot of questions about boards and esp. invaluable advice about surfing around the local area and what to expect. Walked out of the shop significantly geared up if not a bit lighter in the pocket (new Mike Stewart board, bicep leash, and canvas/nylon board sheath). everything installed, plenty of great info and ready to ride! Hit up Lower Trestles for the first time on a 2-3+ day and immediately understood how much more optimized my capacity in the water felt with the right board underneath me. Thanks again Jay & ebodyboarding team for the knowledgeable hook-up! Orange & Yellow MS Flow btw.. felt like butter on the wave.. calling her cookie butter the way she melts, so stoked for the next swell!! see you out there! read more

Been bodyboarding since 1994 and always take care of my gear after use ... be it body boarding, cycling, or snowboarding. I've had the Viper V7 fins forever and they are still in excellent condition, but who doesn't love new gear right? Decided on MS Viper Swimfins, but bought them originally on Amazon. They came and were a bit snug so decided to pay their shop a visit in San Clemente to exchange for a larger size. The minute I walked in I was greeted with some amazing people - genuinely friendly and helpful. The girl that greeted me walked me into the warehouse and went over the color options in my size. She told me to try them on to make sure I had proper fitment. It's a bodyboarders candy store so I decided to get a Viper Fins hoodie while I was there. FYI they are licensed to print Viper Fins on any garment and they have a variety to select from. Former pro bodyboarders Jay and Vickie Reale are hands on owners. Jay did my exchange and he made it so easy ... I didn't even have to sign anything! We had a nice chat and I felt like I'd known him for years .... before you know it Vickie was done printing my hoodie. I normally surf Newport 40th St, but since I was already in San Clemente I asked what the local spot was ... they sent me to T Street and I had a good time even though it was small 1-2 FT. I'll be buying directly from their web site moving forward because Team Reale is the realist! Very rare especially these days. Don't hesitate in supporting ebodyboarders.com! read more

They are the recommended equipment shop for the city of san Clemente's body boarding program. The owners were world champion body boarders. Their shop isn't huge compared to other sports but from I understand is one of the largest in the US. Recommend you go in the shop to get outfitted instead of just looking at pictures online. read more

Just got some viper surf fins after talking to viper directly as he explained what is going on with the selection or lack there of right now he told me he just dropped some large 7's to e body boarding and to try them first stoked they had them and it was a reminder to try to shop and buy American made products first been running these fins in the PNW and beyond and always totaly stoked Thanks for the stoke Jeff read more

Excellent knowledgeable service, great products at good price. I have ordered 4 times, each time everything was perfect.

Thank you ebodyboarding. I remember buying my first BZ T10 and T20 from your garage. To now adding my 6th board the Hubb my brother Stewart launch model wish it came in another color. But cannot go wrong with the Hubb I've had everyone one BZ's boards. I will be back soon for another one. Thanks again. And Tommy thank you. read more

I'd like to type about a transaction that went right in every aspect, almost too right if you ask me. I mean let's be honest, who expects any amount of honest to goodness customer-centric service when clickity clackity clicking buttons on the interwebs. Seriously, things go wrong so often between there and here, the ability to manifest any amount of faith that what you saw is going to be what you get, has been lost for good. You still with me? Alright then. I ordered a board, purposely w/out a leash because I didn't need one. I knew that, but Jay, Co-founder and Chief Customer Service Dude, didn't. So he emailed me, which I imagine is probably standard for him after too dang many "Where's my leash, what happened to the leash, I thought it came with a leash..." emails from customers...but standard or not, it is super appreciated by this guy, who usually always forgets something! The board arrived. Damage free and fassssssssst. Amazing. It shouldn't be, but it was. See, while I'd always prefer to walk into a place, and handle the merch I'm about to buy, in some situations it's just not possible to be your own quality control dept. - and now that I know I can count on Jay and Vicki, they have my loyalty. Give 'em a shot. Now where'd I put that leash...? read more

Super down to earth staff, amazingly fast shipping. Reach out to them if you have any questions about board sizing. They have niche boogie board brands in stock that you won't find elsewhere online, and at reasonable prices. Great selection of swim fins. Looking forward to checking out their shop in person next time I'm going down the coast! read more

The world would be a better place, if they were more business owners like these people. After putting my initial order in, they contacted me with some questions about my order that allowed me to realize I had ordered something in the wrong size. They went above and beyond and handled everything quick and smooth. Even with the shipping it was cheaper to order from them then to buy at my local surf shop. I will 100% purchase again from this company. And I'm gonna leave multiple reviews because this type of customer experience needs to be glorified. Thank you again!! read more

The owners, Jay and Vicki Reale, are bodyboarding legends. I found Ebodyboarding through the great how-to and product review Youtube videos they produce. When I inquired about getting a new board that would be a good fit for my height, weight and normal surf conditions Jay answered me himself within a couple hours. He included a video link for how to plug my new board with a leash, which was helpful, and even directed me to the closest bodyboarding hangout for where I live. What a guy! My new board and leash got to me within 2 days. Have taken the new board out a few times and am loving it. Thanks Jay, Vicki and team! read more

We wanted to buy our sons good body boards this year. So we trusted ebodyboarding and spent $400 on 2 boards. First, the boards arrived without the leashes installed, as they had promised us. More importantly, we only had the boards 2 weeks (2 trips to the beach) with normal use and sun exposure when one of the boards bubbled up. The other board was totally fine. Yet, they refused send a replacement, split the difference, nothing. Beware. read more

I went into the shop today and picked up some sponge resin. It's a compound used to seal up dings on bodyguards. I love Jay and Vicky Reale the professional body boarding couple that owns the business. I watched both of them ride growing up. Decades later I enjoy purchasing my gear from them. Dealing with them highlights the belief that the bodyboarding community is like a family. I love that! I could talk all day about those two, but I wanted to give high praise to Gianna. She has to be one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever talked to about board construction. It's impressive. There are a lot of boards to choose from and it helps to pick the brain of someone who is around the many different board manufacturers and board models available in today's market. It could make your head spin. This is why someone like Gianna is so valuable! I also talked to her about how to use the resin product. She could have just said take the cap off and apply it. Instead I was told to submerge the unopened tube into warm water to get it to a more liquid consistency before applying. It's another way Gianna and Ebodyboarding show they care about their customers and the sport. if you find yourself needing to learn about different boards or any other body boarding accessories, EBodyboarding with staff like Gianna have a wealth of knowledge and experience that you will find helpful! read more

The owners have given me amazing recommendations for my fins and booties and most recently, my new Tribe board. They helped me choose the right combination of fins, booties and board that fits my body size and water temp. I'm extremely happy with my new setup and could tell the difference on my first ride. Turns were much easier and it all just felt right. Even my riding partner looked at me and said "wow man, you're flying!" I highly recommend ebodyboarding.com and wouldn't shop anywhere else. read more

Customer service here is top notch. I ordered a large bodyboard bag to hold 3 boards online. USPS lost our package. I called Ebodyboarding. They were so gracious, helpful and immediately shipped out another bag via UPS. It arrived the next day! I'm also giving their bodyboarding bag 5 stars. I intend to use it this weekend and can already see how sturdy and functional it will be. There are mesh areas to allow sand to drain, pockets for fins and other gear, interior pockets for more valuables like keys, wallets and phones, and versatile straps to wear as a backpack or on the shoulder. I will definitely shop here again. read more
