Yes, you can bodyboard without Fins, but using fins provides several advantages that can enhance your overall bodyboarding experience:
- Increased propulsion: Fins help you generate more power and speed when kicking, allowing you to catch waves more efficiently and move faster in the water.
- Better manoeuvrability: Fins give you more control over your movements, making it easier to turn, change direction, and perform manoeuvres on the wave.
- Enhanced stability: Fins provide additional stability and balance when dropping into a wave or riding across its face.
While it is possible to bodyboard without fins, beginners and experienced riders alike will generally find that fins improve their ability to catch waves and control their board.
Therefore, if you choose to bodyboard without fins, you may have a harder time catching waves and maintaining control, which could impact your overall enjoyment of Bodyboarding.
