Bodyboards with an NRG core (PP 1.2) are remarkably lightweight. NRG is a low-density polypropylene (PP) that doesn't have as much rigidity as PP but is significantly stiffer than PE. It is perfect for temperate waters or for riders looking for a bodyboard board that performs well in all types of water, be it cold, temperate, or warm.
It is a material "derived" from PP, meaning it is the same material but with a lower density of 1.4pcf. They are very light, but with greater hardness and flexibility than PE bodyboards. It is perfect for temperate waters or for riders who are looking for a board that works well in all types of water—cold, temperate, and warm.
An NRG bodyboard is used by riders looking for a quality bodyboard but with more flex than a PP bodyboard, offering greater control. It is also recommended for colder waters.
