bodyboard
Prone surf craft
A bodyboard is a short, lightweight foam board used for riding waves while lying prone or sometimes kneeling.
Unlike surfboards, bodyboards are designed to be ridden with the body flat against the deck, with the rider using swim fins for propulsion and control.
The sport of bodyboarding developed in the 1970s and remains popular at beaches worldwide.
