body-surfing
Armless wave riding
Body-surfing is riding waves toward shore using only your body—no board, no flotation device.
You catch a wave at the right moment and let it carry you, steering with outstretched arms and body position.
It's the simplest form of surfing: We spent the afternoon body-surfing in the shallows.
