shortboarding
Small wave riding
Shortboarding is surfing on a shortboard—a narrow, maneuverable surfboard typically under seven feet long, designed for aggressive turns and aerial tricks rather than stability.
The term distinguishes the style from longboarding, which uses larger boards suited to a more relaxed, flowing approach: He switched from longboarding to shortboarding when he wanted more speed.
