surfboarding
Ocean wave sport
Surfboarding is the activity of riding waves on a surfboard—essentially a synonym for surfing.
The longer form appears occasionally but surfing dominates in actual usage: We went surfboarding every morning that summer.
The -ing form sometimes emphasizes the ongoing activity rather than the sport generally.
