bodysurf
Ride waves flat
To bodysurf is to ride waves toward shore using only your body, without a surfboard or other flotation device.
The swimmer catches a wave and glides on its face, arms extended or at the sides: We bodysurfed until the lifeguards called everyone in.
It requires timing and strong swimming ability.
