The BPS Storm bodyboard pack is one EPS core board and a coiled leash, sold in 33, 37 and 41 inch sizes for riders up to 65, 120 or 188 pounds. BPS calls it “beginner-friendly” and says it “works well through to intermediate riding”. Riders over 188 pounds are above every size, so the 42.5 inch Storm PRO is the BPS board to look at.
These notes cover what the Storm listing says, who it fits and what it is not built for. To compare boards across rider sizes and cores, see our bodyboard buying guide. WaterSportHQ editors have not ridden these boards.
What the BPS Storm listing says
Checked on the Amazon listing, its gallery images and its FAQ on 2026-10-21:
- Core: expanded polystyrene (EPS).
- Deck and slick: an XPE deck skin and an HDPE bottom skin, by the gallery callouts. A callout also names “Thermo Fusion” heat lamination to seal the board.
- Shape: a crescent tail, dual bottom rear channels and 60/40 rails.
- Leash: a coiled leash with a neoprene cuff and Velcro. BPS says it comes wrapped in plastic near the tail.
- Skill level: beginner through intermediate, by the FAQ; the skill row says all.
- Cover: BPS’s “Right Choice Promise” covers every board for 12 months, with a replacement or a full refund.
- Care, by BPS: rinse with fresh water after each use, cover the board with a towel when there is no shade, avoid long sun exposure and store it flat, white side up.
An earlier version of this page said the pack included two fin savers. The current listing names only the board and the leash.

The listing contradicts itself in three places:
- The 37 inch board is listed lighter than the 33 inch board, and the listing gives no weight for the 41 inch board.
- The dimension rows give each board as wide as it is long, such as “33 L x 33 W”, so they give no usable width.
- The chart’s feet and centimeters do not match: 4 ft to 5 ft 7 sits next to 120 to 160 cm, and 160 cm is about 5 ft 3.
Between two sizes, BPS says to go smaller “if you want easier control while you’re learning to catch waves”, and larger “for more stability and room to grow into it”.
See the BPS Storm on Amazon (33, 37 or 41 inches; up to 65, 120 or 188 pounds)
The link opens the main Storm listing on one size and color. Pick the size from the menu there.
What the BPS Storm is not built for
- Riders over 188 pounds. The 41 inch board tops out there.
- Riders who want a stringer. The Storm listing names none.
- Advanced riding. BPS’s own FAQ stops at intermediate.
Editors’ rule of thumb: size by the rider’s weight on the maker’s chart rather than by age.
For heavier riders: the BPS Storm PRO 42.5
The Storm PRO is a 42.5 inch board with an EPS core, an embedded fiberglass stringer, an IXPE deck and an HDPE slick reinforced with hex mesh, plus a coiled wrist leash. BPS sells it board only or with a carry bag, on the same listing.
Its listing gives two limits: “riders up to 200lbs” in the bullets and 220 pounds in the weight capacity row. It also disagrees on skill. The skill row says beginner, but the FAQ says it is “best suited to riders who are already comfortable in the water and want more speed and performance”. Plan around 200 pounds.

Before you buy
- The rider’s weight against the chart above, not their age.
- Riders over 200 pounds: see the bigger-rider boards in the bodyboard buying guide and bodyboard sizes.
- Editors’ rule of thumb: check the leash cuff fits the rider’s wrist when the board arrives, while a return is still easy.
