Stealth Body Boards Stealth 2026 Apex Epp 42.5 Grey

Stealth Apex Bodyboard – The Perfect Balance of Performance & Durability!

The Stealth Apex is designed for beginner to intermediate riders, offering the ideal mix of strength, performance, and versatility. 

It features an extruded Polypro core.  This core is a fusion between EPS and Polypro—so it's less brittle than EPS, with the favourable flex and weight characteristics of the PolyPro. 

Similarly, it is lighter and more temperature-resistant than PE, making it a great alternative to these in mid-to-warm climates.

With the addition of dual fiberglass stringers & deck contours, the Apex delivers durability, speed, and control, and is perfect for progressing riders looking for a board they can push harder than the standard EPS versions.

Key Features:

Extruded Polypro Core – A balance of durability, flex, and lightweight performance.
2 x Fiberglass Stringers – Reinforced strength for increased longevity and control.
4mm Crosslink IXPE Deck – Soft yet durable, with deck contours for extra grip.
HD Slick Bottom w/ Graphic – Enhances speed and glide while adding a stylish touch.
50/50 Double Rails – Balanced for smooth transitions and precise turns.
Graduated Channels – Improves hold and drive through the wave face.
Crescent Tail – Offers better control and responsiveness.
Fuse-Moulded Shape – Enhances durability and board consistency.
Double Swivel Coiled Wrist Leash Included – Secure and comfortable for all conditions.

Sizing Suggestion: Beginner - Intermediate riders in the 70-95kg range.

 

Choosing the right size board can be a tough decision, particularly for your first board or two. 

A nice guide is to stand the bodyboard on the ground, lean it up against you and ideally the nose of the board will be in line with your belly button. If you’re a bigger build, then you could go an inch or two bigger, or even a wider or thicker board to aid in floatation.

You’ll see that some boards are designed with deck contours and nose bulbs for
comfort and grip. Definitely take the opportunity to try out different bodyboards whenever you can and get a feel for what you like.

Bigger / Smaller boards have their advantages and disadvantages, and its best to consider what sort of conditions you will be riding most often. Generally bigger boards are faster, but not as easy to control, and generally suited to smaller waves. On the other hand smaller boards are a bit harder to generate speed, however have greater control and are ideal for bigger waves. 

For kids, a helpful rule of thumb is to add their age to 30" for an approximate size:

• 2 years = 30–32"

• 4 years = 32–34"

• 6 years = 34–36"

• 8 years = 36–38"

• 10 years = 38–40"

• 12 years = 40–41"
