What is a bodyboard?
A bodyboard is a short board of about one meter, made of hydrodynamic foam, which keeps the board floating. The bodyboards are equipped with a handy wrist strap; this prevents you from losing your bodyboard if you unexpectedly fall off. The top of the bodyboard is made to lie on with your upper body, so it's important that the top of the board feels comfortable. The bottom of the board must glide smoothly over the waves, so the underside must be smooth.
What is bodyboarding?
Bodyboarding is derived from surfing; the biggest difference is that in surfing you stand on the board, while in bodyboarding you lie on the board. Before you can head out to sea, it's first useful to practice how to lie properly on the board. Place your bodyboard in the sand, put your hands around the top and lie with your lower belly on the lower part of the board. Once you're lying comfortably, you can practice paddling. Moving forward with the bodyboard works the same as the front crawl: you paddle with your hands along the sides of the board.
