The Own the Wave Wave Weapon bodyboard is a light beginner board with an EPS core and an HDPE slick bottom, sold in 33, 37 and 41 inch sizes. Its size chart rates them for riders up to 65, 120 and 188 pounds, so it suits children and adults up to about 5 ft 9. The listing sells it as “body boards for beach days”.

What the Wave Weapon listing says
The specs below come from the Own the Wave listing on Amazon (B01DZ3WMRW), checked on 2026-10-21. The manufacturer row names BPS, and the images carry the BPS logo.
- Sizes: 33, 37 and 41 inches.
- Core: EPS (expanded polystyrene), with an EPO layer shown in one image.
- Deck: XPE foam skin, per a listing image.
- Bottom: HDPE slick with dual bottom channels.
- Shape: crescent tail and 60/40 rails.
- Build: heat laminated, which an image calls “Thermo Fusion”.
- Leash: a coiled leash with a neoprene cuff and Velcro, included.
- Skill level: all. The listing’s FAQ calls it “beginner-friendly” through to intermediate riding.
- Guarantee: a 12 month “Right Choice Promise”. The seller says it will replace or refund a board that fails in that time.
The listing gives no thickness, no stringer and no real width. Its dimensions rows give the 33 inch board as 33 by 33 inches and the 41 inch board as 41 by 40 inches, which cannot be the board’s width. The item weight rows give 0.73 kg, 0.86 kg and 0.95 kg (about 1.6, 1.9 and 2.1 pounds) for the three sizes.
An older version of this page, written when the board was sold as the “Beach Attack Pack”, listed fin tethers in the box. The current listing names only the leash.
Which Wave Weapon size to get
The size chart in the listing images gives:
| Size | Rider weight | Rider height |
|---|---|---|
| 33 in | Up to 65 lb | 2 ft to 4 ft |
| 37 in | 60 to 120 lb | 4 ft to 5 ft 7 |
| 41 in | 120 to 188 lb | 5 ft 7 to 5 ft 9 |
Between two sizes, the FAQ says to pick the smaller one for easier control while learning, or the larger one for more stability and room to grow.
The chart matches the one on the BPS Storm listing, which comes from the same seller with the same listing text. The Storm is covered in the buying guide.
What the Wave Weapon is not good for
- Riders over 188 pounds or taller than 5 ft 9. The chart stops there. The buying guide lists boards rated up to 250 pounds.
- Bigger or hollow waves. No stringer is listed, and the listing calls it “perfect for the fam” and pitches it for “beach days”.
- Buyers who need exact dimensions. The listing gives no usable width or thickness.
What to check before you buy
- The size after you pick a color. Each size and color is a separate listing, so each link below opens one size. If it shows as unavailable, try another color in the same size.
- The leash on arrival. The FAQ says it is wrapped in plastic near the tail and easy to miss.
- Editors’ rule of thumb: check the board’s skins and rails on arrival, while a return is still easy.

Looking after it
The seller’s care note says to cover the board with a towel if there is no shade, rinse it in fresh water after each use, avoid long sun exposure and store it flat with the white side up. For more on fit, see bodyboard sizes.
