bodyboards

Prone surf craft

Bodyboards are short, lightweight foam boards used for riding waves while lying prone or in a dropknee position.

Unlike surfboards, which riders stand on, bodyboards keep the rider's body in direct contact with the board, making them easier for beginners to handle.

They're typically made of foam with a slick plastic bottom and are popular at beaches worldwide.

We rented bodyboards and spent the afternoon catching waves.
