surfboards
Waxed ocean platforms
Surfboards are long, buoyant boards used for riding ocean waves.
The rider paddles out, catches a wave, and stands to ride it toward shore.
Surfboards range from short, maneuverable designs to longer boards offering stability.
The word works as a verb too: We surfboarded all morning, though most surfers just say surf.
