What is "bodyboarding"?
Bodyboarding is a water sport where a person rides waves while lying on a small, soft board. The rider uses their arms to paddle and catch the wave, then rides it toward the shore. Bodyboards are smaller than surfboards and are typically made of lightweight materials, making them easy to maneuver. Riders can also use fins to help with swimming and controlling their movement on the wave. Bodyboarding is suitable for a range of wave sizes, and it is popular in many coastal areas, offering a fun and accessible way to enjoy the waves.
