3 x World Champion Ben Player has done everything the world of bodyboarding has to offer. He is constantly pushing the realms of what this sport is capable of achieving.
Ben has designed this board for those who want the very best board model with greater speed, recoil & projection key.
You can be sure you're riding world champion stock when you pick up an with the BP stamp on it

This is what Ben has to say about his model:
"In surfing I am constantly trying to refine my surfing. Every wave I catch and every section that I hit has been an opportunity for betterment.
This season of NMD boards is a representation of this with and 25 years of refinement I have made the template that I think is the best that can be made.
It's straight so it's easy to gain and maintain speed and the cores are second to none for any condition.
These two factors combine to give you a versatile and elite wave riding vehicle that I am proud to put my name to."

FEATURES:
CORE: Kinetic Polypro Core w/Pro Ride technology
Kinetic Polypro is a state of the art engineered bodyboard core. A lightweight core that is fusion formed to create a nucleus that delivers incredible flexural properties,
including instant recoil, added projection, enhanced longitudinal stiffness & awesome compression strength. This core is 100% waterproof.
ProRide Technology Based on NMD'S groundbreaking Parabolic Flex System technology, the Pro Ride range of boards feature the new Parabolic Base for revolutionary strength to weight performance allowing you to ride a thinner board without a loss in nose to tail stiffness. Slim line Parabolic Airex T90 high density structural beams are embedded vertically into the base of the core for unrivalled flex to recoil energy transfer. Scientifically proven vapor tracks create hydrodynamic flow through the centre of the board for electric board speed.

CONCAVE:  X4 Mini Quad Concave
The X4 MiniQuad takes the key design factors of our groundbreaking full-length QuadConcave and shrinks it down, focusing on the back half of the board. Starting below the wide-point, the X4 essentially splits the hull in two, combining the glide and flow of a flat bottom with the drive and directional control of the QuadConcave.  The X4 MiniQuad is designed to excel in small to medium size surf and for quicker transitions closer to the pocket of the wave.
The Quad Concave is precision shaped on our custom built AKU CNC shaping machine.
The AKU gives us the ability to design progressive channel and concave set-ups with incredible accuracy and consistency previously not possible by hand shaping.
