{{short description|Surface water sport in which the surfer rides a bodyboard}} {{Use dmy dates|date=August 2021}} [[File:Bodyboarding 1 2007.jpg|thumb|A man riding a wave with a bodyboard]] '''Bodyboarding''' is a [[water sports|water sport]] in which the [[surfing|surfer]] rides a bodyboard on the crest, face, and curl of a wave which is carrying the surfer towards the shore. Bodyboarding is also referred to as '''''Boogieboarding''''' due to the invention of the "Boogie Board" by [[Tom Morey]] in 1971. The average bodyboard consists of a short, rectangular piece of [[hydrodynamic]] foam. Bodyboarders typically use [[Swimfin|swim fins]] for additional propulsion and control while riding a breaking wave.
