surfboard

Rider's ocean platform

A surfboard is a long, narrow board used to ride ocean waves.

Surfers paddle out, then stand on the board as a wave carries them toward shore.

Surfboards range from short, maneuverable designs to longer boards for stability.

The verb means to ride such a board: We surfboarded all morning.
