Boogie float for blue water

Hello,

Hope everyone is well in this strange times we are living.

Decided to ask this as a new thread since all the others on the "floats" section are more than a year old.

So I use, and many of you as well, a good quality boogie board as a float. I attach things to it and it helps to move from spot to spot as you lay on them.

Now the question is, has anyone used a good quality boogie as a float for hunting big pelagic?

I got several good boogies around that are not good for surfing anymore but are in good condition.

I figure if they can hold "above water" a 150 pound human, they should do well with a breakaway system for tuna, mahi, etc.

Opinions?

Take care!!

Hey Dan!

well I don't know all the technicalities or specific materials, they are all basically foam. But what I mean with a good quality is one that you can surf serious, big powerful waves and it will last. A performance surf boggie if you will. Brands like Mike Stewart, Pride, Hubbard, VS.

A low quality one on the same wave conditions will bend and/or break in half on a couple of waves/wipeouts. This ones are the ones you would find in Walgreens, Walmart, Kmart, etc. They are mean for a fun time on the beach, not hi performance surfing.

I believe it all has to do with how the foam is expanded. In any case, I figure with a couple of plugs (normally for the leash), you can hook up the clips and give it a go for hunting the pelagic.

At least that what I am trying to investigate.

cheers!

Hey!

thanks for the input form both.

Will give it a try.
Looking for 60 pounders at best. Might work out.

Will let you know what happens whenever it happens, if it happens hahaaha
