Iibhodi zokusefa zizixhobo zemidlalo ezisetyenziselwa ukusefa. Iibhodi zokusefa zokuqala zazimalunga neemitha ezi-5 ubude kwaye zinobunzima obuziikhilogram ezingama-50 ukuya kuma-60. Emva kweMfazwe Yehlabathi II, kwavela iiphaneli zeplastiki ezinefoam, kwaye imo yazo yaphucuka. Iibhodi zokusefa zangoku zibude obuziimitha ezili-1.5-2.7, ububanzi obuziisentimitha ezingama-60, kunye nobukhulu obuziisentimitha ezisi-7-10. Iibhodi zilula kwaye zithe tyaba, zineziphelo ezimxinwa ngaphambili nangasemva kunye nephiko lomsila elizinzisayo ngasemva nasezantsi. Ifilimu yangaphandle enewax ikwasetyenziswa ebhodini ukwandisa ukungqubana. Iibhodi zokusefa zinobunzima obuziikhilogram ezili-11 ukuya kwezingama-26.

Ukusefa ngumdlalo wamanzi apho abadlali belawula amaza ngokuma kwiibhodi zokusefa okanye ngokusebenzisa iibhodi zesisu, iibhodi zokuguqa, ii-raber pads ezinokufuthwa, ii-rowing boats, ii-kayak, kunye nezinye izixhobo ezifanayo. Abadlali kufuneka babe nezakhono eziphezulu kunye nokulinganisela, kunye nokukwazi ukudada imigama emide emoyeni nasemaza, nokuba ziziphi izixhobo ezisetyenziswayo.

Ukusefa ngumdlalo apho abadlali balala begobile okanye beguqa kwibhodi yokusefa baze bapheke ngezandla zabo ukuya kwindawo enamaza afanelekileyo. Xa igagasi lityhala ibhodi yokusefa ukuba ityibilike, umdlali uyaphakama imilenze yakhe ivuleke ngokwendalo (ngesiqhelo umlenze wokulinganisela ungaphambili kwaye umlenze wokulawula ungasemva), amadolo agobe kancinci, aze alandele igagasi Amaza, etyibilika ngokukhawuleza.

1. Ibhodi ende - ibhodi ende ngaphezu kweenyawo ezili-9 kwaye ifanelekile kwabaqalayo.
Okwesibini, ibhodi emfutshane - enobude obungaphantsi kweenyawo ezi-7, ihlelwa njengebhodi yamaza obuchwephesha.
3. Ipleyiti yeGun - Imxinwa kwaye inde, yenzelwe ukumelana namaza amakhulu afana nalawo afumaneka eHawaii.
Okwesine, ibhodi ethambileyo inika ukuhamba okunamandla okungakhawulelwanga kubungakanani begagasi kwaye ifanelekile kubaqalayo.
5. I-raft edadayo - ibhodi ibanzi kwaye isantya siyatshintsha kancinci, nto leyo eyenza ukuba ilungele ukuqhelisela ibhodi yamaza yabaqalayo.
