Water Tools

Fantastic Plastic Machine

Body glove launched its range of paddle boards into New Zealand waters in 2011. They have filled a space in the stand up market that had been crying out for a solution.  If you are looking for a robust ,bullet proof paddle board at reasonable price then no further than the Body Glove range of boards.

The Rocket

Finally an affordable board that’s optimised for use on flatwater and on open ocean – the areas where most people paddle.This board is very fast for its short length and yet has great stability, so you can easily paddle long distances, whether it’s for your afternoon workout or weekend touring. We’ve tested this board and it goes like a rocket! If you go paddling with your friends on this, you’ll have better speed than almost anyone, unless they’re hard-core athletes on dedicated race boards.

Built tough in the USA from a hollow indestructible plastic material the Rocket will withstand years of adventure and abuse.

There’s foot rests that allow conversion to a sit-on-top kayak. This is an important safety feature that allows the user to sit down and comfortably paddle home even in strong headwinds. Sitting down reduces windage and increases paddling efficiency when using the Body Glove SUP paddle included, which can quickly be converted to a dual-blade kayak paddle.

This board comes with one hatch that accesses the boards interior plus a dry hatch for keeping valuables dry. There are ample cleats and attachment points for securing gear plus bungy system included for securing spare clothes and equipment.

Dimensions:
11′ x 30″ x 8″ (3.3m x 76cm x 20cm)

The generous rocker, and high volume center help you run through almost anything–even waterfalls and slides.
