boogieboard

Foam wave rider

A boogieboard is a short, lightweight foam board for riding waves while lying prone, smaller and simpler than a surfboard.

Also called a bodyboard.

The verb means to ride such a board: We spent the afternoon boogieboarding at the beach.

Boogie Board is technically a trademark, though the term has become generic.
