boogie boarder

Prone surf enthusiast

A boogie boarder is someone who rides a boogie board—a short, rectangular foam board used to ride waves while lying prone or kneeling.

Unlike surfers who stand, boogie boarders stay low to the water: The beach was crowded with boogie boarders catching small waves.

The term is casual and often associated with recreational beach activity rather than serious wave riding.
