Girls about to #getshacked on their handboards

There’s no doubt about it, handboarding is fun and it’s not just for the guys! Bodysurfing with a handboard is super easy to learn and you will be shredding it in no time. After my first handboard session last year I was instantly hooked and now I am bodysurfing waves that used to scare the crap out of me. If that doesn’t get you wet, (no pun intended) here are the top five reasons chicks should handboard.

More QT time with your other half - There is nothing better than sharing your love for the ocean with your significant other. A couple that shreds togethers, stays together. Single? Say hello to hot surfers!
Get the BEST Selfies - this reason alone will get all you duckface, instagraming girls out on a handboard. Just go straight down the line, with water spraying back at your face and wind on your hair, you never looked hotter.
Ditch the Stinky Gym - handboarding is a sick workout. You are constantly swimming, so when you wake up the next day you are sure to be sore. I never want to see a treadmill again!
Look Good - Okay, I admit it, I feel f’ing hot when I am in my wetsuit with my matching bodysurfing accessories - pink handboard, pink fins and a tight black Roxy wetsuit.
GET SHACKED and BE HAPPY - I can honestly say, handboarding makes me happy. I look forward to going out every Saturday and Sunday morning, there is nothing else I would rather do.
