A Little Background

A bodyboard is shorter than most standard surfboards out there such that they are meant for use while lying flat on the bodyboard. Instead of the regular surfing stance, bodyboarding relies on a different stance that can sometimes use the drop knee stance. All in all, bodyboarding is very different from surfing because while surfing requires the person to stand, bodyboarding relies on the body itself.
