bodyboarding
Lying wave riding
Bodyboarding is a water sport in which a rider lies prone on a short, rectangular foam board and rides breaking waves toward shore.
Unlike surfing, where you stand, bodyboarding keeps you flat or propped on your elbows: We spent the afternoon bodyboarding at the beach.
The board itself is called a bodyboard or boogie board.
