Surf bodyboarding is a form of ocean wave riding. The board consists of a small roughly 3 foot rectangular piece of foam. The bodyboard is predominantly ridden lying down on it. It can also be ridden in a half-standing prone stance with one knee touching the board known as 'drop knee'. The bodyboard may even be ridden standing up if you are small. The vast majority of bodyboarders usually wear special swim fins on both feet to aid in controlling your trajectory, adjusting speed while riding, paddling out, and taking off.
The bodyboard differs from a surfboard in that it is much shorter and made of foam or wood. The newest boards consists of a foam 'core' encapsulated by a plastic bottom and a softer foam top known as the deck. Each type of special foam gives the bodyboard a different amount of flex and control for the surf rider. Dow and polyethylene cores are best suited to cooler waters as they can get too flexible in warm water and the board does not hold flex properly. Sometimes a rod called a stringer is inserted in the board to add more stiffness to the core, giving greater speed from bottom turns and makes the board overall stronger.
