The Wave Rebel Oxygen bodyboard is a 42 inch board for advanced riders, with an EPS core, an XEPE deck and one FRP stringer, listed for riders 5 ft 6 and up who weigh 190 pounds and up. Its Amazon listing shows it as currently unavailable, and an Amazon search on 2026-10-21 found no other Wave Rebel bodyboard. Current boards whose listings go past 195 pounds, from the highest limit down: the Ultimate WaveMaster Pro 44 (150 to 250 pounds), the Contour Surf 44 (up to 240 pounds) and the BZ Big Bruddah 45 (up to 225 pounds). The Morey Mach 12 MDS is only for riders up to 195 pounds.
These notes are for someone who searched for the Oxygen. They cover what its listing says, who it was made for and which current boards list a limit for heavier riders. To compare boards for beginners and casual use, see our bodyboard buying guide. WaterSportHQ editors have not ridden these boards.

Who the Oxygen was made for
Wave Rebel gives the Oxygen a minimum rider weight of 190 pounds and no maximum. The WaterSportHQ editors’ rule-of-thumb chart in the body board vs boogie board guide puts a 42 inch board at about 150 to 190 pounds, so Wave Rebel rated the Oxygen for heavier riders than the chart would.
On its listing, it did not fit riders under 190 pounds or beginners. The buying guide covers boards for them.

Ultimate WaveMaster Pro 44: the highest listed limit
BeachMall lists the WaveMaster Pro for riders over 5 ft 6 who weigh 150 to 250 pounds, with a 250 pound maximum. It is 44 by 23.5 inches and 2.75 inches thick, with an EPS core, an IXPE deck, an HDPE slick, a crescent tail and a coiled wrist leash. The listing gives a 3 pound board and a 90 day limited warranty.
It lists no stringer, unlike the Oxygen. The skill level is listed as advanced.

Contour Surf 44: two reinforcement tubes, up to 240 pounds
Contour Surf sells this 44 by 18.7 inch board for “taller and big riders”, which it says fits adults of about 170 to 240 pounds best, and lists a 240 pound maximum. It has an EPS core with dual FRP reinforcement tubes, a 4 mm IXPE deck, an HDPE slick with plastic mesh, 60/40 rails, a crescent tail and a double swivel coiled leash.
The listing contradicts itself on age: the bullets say adults, but the age range field says kid. The skill level is listed as all.

BZ Big Bruddah 45: the longest board, up to 225 pounds
BZ sells the Big Bruddah 45 for “bigger-sized riders over to 225 lbs”, with a 225 pound maximum. The listing gives a Zero-G polypropylene core, VFS double stringers, an 8 pound H-Cell deck, an HDPE slick, dual channels and a crescent tail, with no mesh.
Other colorways of the same part number describe it differently: one lists an NXLPE deck and dual CFT stringers, and every colorway’s materials row says XPE. Check the listing for the color you pick. No leash is named.

Morey Mach 12 MDS: only for riders up to 195 pounds
Morey lists a 195 pound maximum, so of the riders the Oxygen was rated for, it fits only those from 190 to 195 pounds. Morey says its embedded fiberglass stringer is “a shield against snaps and creases, especially when riding bigger waves”. It has an EPS core, a double-concave HDPE bottom, a tube rail system, a crescent tail and a coil leash, and the item weight is listed as 2.13 kg (about 4.7 pounds).
See the Morey Mach 12 MDS on Amazon (only for riders up to 195 pounds)
Boards these notes leave out
The BPS Storm PRO gives two different limits on the same listing (200 and 220 pounds). Morey’s 44 inch Big Kahuna, sold for “bigger riders”, contradicts itself: its weight row says a 185 pound maximum, but its size chart image says 160 to 250 pounds. With a 185 pound figure on the listing, these notes do not count it as a board for riders over 190 pounds. The Body Glove Big Tuna 45 is sold for tall riders but lists no weight limit.
What to check before you buy
- Your weight against the listed limit: 250 pounds for the WaveMaster Pro, 240 for the Contour Surf, 225 for the Big Bruddah, 195 for the Mach 12 MDS.
- The board on arrival: look for bubbles or lifted skin along the rails while a return is still easy.
- The leash plug: check it is set firmly in the foam before the first session.
Editors’ rule of thumb: rinse the board in fresh water after salt water, and keep it out of hot cars and direct sun, since heat can make the skins bubble. For more on fit, see bodyboard sizes.
