l know they make wave catching easier but is it still possible to catch waves without em?
do l just have to kick harder and paddle?

You have to get on the more critical part of the wave (the peak where it is breaking) and kick hard and you will get in. Just shell out the $30-$40 and get a pair of fins and get waves.

You can, but it is harder to get going and you catch the wave later.

Yea just start a little earlier. l personally wear one fin but its not a hhuge difference it pretty much just takes a little bit of the skill out of catching a wave.

Buy Viper Fins. They are totally worth the $60.

Of course you can. How well you can do is another question. Buy the fins.

Sure, but it is nowhere near as fun and you wo not catch anywhere near as many waves. Just go buy some $10 fins (or spring for some specialized Churchills or Wave Grabbers at $40). Then you can bodysurf, snorkle and freedive, too.

It depends on:
-how strong - physically & mentally - & experienced u are.
-different riding styles:
*prone:
*drop knee :It consists of putting ur preferred foot at the
front of the board while the other knee rests on the tail of the
board
*stand up:It consists of standing upright on the board.
For this one,you can ride a bodyboard without fins
because it is easier to stand but difficult to catch waves.

Bodyboarding without fins is almost impossible! Fins will help in all aspects of bodyboarding- paddling out, catching waves, steering & controlling the board as they r acting as skegs. After the board itself, fins r the most important accessories in bodyboarding.

Bodyboarding is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury or death. l recommend that u seek proper training & equipment before attempting this activity.
