Bodyboarding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The bodyboard differs from a surfboard in that it is much shorter, and made of lighter material. |
 | | Although bodyboarding is often mistakenly considered surfing's easier cousin, watermen, knowledgeable in both disciplines, hold that beyond the beginner level they are equal in the time, dedication, and skill required to become proficient. |
 | | Bodyboarding is arguably the earliest form of surfing, and is ultimately derived from the ancient Hawaiian Paipo board, which was ridden lying down. |
