Pride Bodyboards is one of greatest brands in the market. They have a pure love for the sport and have an unique philosophy of giving back to the sport of bodyboarding, whether supporting athletes (just check their Pro team), travels, media or even movie releases.
One of these days we came across these signature pro models that, thanks to their construction, materials and finish quality, caught our attention. Do yourself a favour and get to know them.
PRIDE OBSESSOR PP SDC
The Obsessor (the name comes from Liam Lucas obsession with style, flow, and technique all over the years) has the widest and lowest wide-point within the Pride Bodyboards range and is coupled with a relatively narrow tail, providing excellent volume under the chest and quick release during rotations.
We may say it is an all-round signature board with a generous and curvy outline, allowing the Aussie smooth operator to flawless lines and rotations.
This version of the Obsessor comes equipped with the latest Kinetic Polypro Core, is an advanced bodyboard core that is lightweight (1.9 lbs PCF) and fused together to create a nucleus that offers exceptional flex properties, such as immediate recoil, increased longitudinal stiffness, and impressive compression strength.

PRIDE KONED PP SDC+
Portuguese shredder Steph Kokorelis must be proud of his collaboration with the Pride gang. His signature board template is absolutely perfect!
Being one of stand out free surfers in Europe, Koko has a polished style whether drawing lines, air rotating or fitting into seemingly impossible barrels.
Maybe that’s why it’s not surprising that his model The Koned presents a pocket riding template with a narrow tail and high-wide point, resulting in a reasonably curvy board that offers maximum control in heavy sections. It also provides a super-fast release on rotations and offers great volume.
This version comes equipped with the latest Kinetic PP Core, Carbon Fiber Stringers, and Single to Double Concave + (thanks to a light concave on the lower third of the rail, enhances grip on the face of the waves and enables greater control in the hollow sections).

PRIDE REALEST PP RADIAL FLEX SDC+ VARIAL
The Realest is Tristan Roberts‘ (2019 and 2022 back-to-back World Champion) pro model. The man has been riding for Pride Bodyboards since 2012.
We have known Tristan for a while, and the adjective “The Realest,” coined by Tupac Shakur to convey honesty, truthfulness, rawness, and respect, perfectly encapsulates him and his riding style.
The Realest is a pure-bred, fairly straight, prone template, featuring an additional thickness for increased volume and a wider outline. If you’re looking for speed and flow in small-medium waves, this is your board.
Comes equipped with the latest Kinetic Polypro Core (1.9 lbs PCF, and very light) and fused together to create a nucleus that offers exceptional flex properties, such as immediate recoil, increased longitudinal stiffness, and impressive compression strength.
Besides the Radial Flex® Dynamic Arc® and SDC+ technology, also has Varial Mesh, with its second layer of mesh beneath the deck of the board and outside of the Radial Flex, enhancing the board’s lifespan by minimizing creases under the elbow.
