VS Ignition Bodyboard A high-performance, entry-to-mid-level bodyboard engineered to provide the perfect balance of durability, buoyancy, and control for riders looking to progress their skills in a variety of wave conditions.
The VS (Versus) Ignition Bodyboard is designed by the world-renowned shaping team led by Nick Mesritz, ensuring that even this accessible model benefits from elite-level templates. Constructed with a high-density PE (Polyethylene) core, the Ignition offers a classic, flexible feel that provides excellent "spring" and recoil, which is particularly beneficial in cooler water temperatures or for riders who prefer a more forgiving ride. With its sleek profile and precision-contoured deck, this board allows for easy paddle power and stable rail-to-rail transitions, making it an ideal choice for those ready to move beyond basic beach breaks and start carving through the face of the wave.
