boogieboarder

Prone surf enthusiast

A boogieboarder is someone who rides a boogie board—a short, rectangular foam board used to ride waves while lying prone or on one's knees.

Unlike surfers who stand, boogieboarders stay low on the water: The beach was crowded with surfers and boogieboarders competing for waves.
