What is Bodyboarding?
It is possibly the oldest form of sliding on water that we know of. It comes from bodysurfing (catching the waves with your own body, with no other help than the push of the waves). The difference is that with bodyboarding we do have a small foam board under our body, about 1 meter long, called a boogie, cork, or bodyboard board and some fins that help us pick up speed.
The 3 main styles that a good bodyboarder/cork boarder must master are: – Lying down (prone). The most widespread. – With one leg kneeling (drop knee). Bullfighter. Fully standing (Stand up). Similar to surfing.
One of the pioneers in the manufacture of these cork boards was the legendary Tom Morey, who promoted the development of the sport and whose brand continues to be one of the most recognized worldwide. Later, in the 90s, there was another revolution in this sport. Bodyboarders like Guilherme Tamega, Michael Eppelstun, Ben Holland, the legendary Mike Stewart, or Jeff Hubbard, took this sport to the top.
Today, bodyboarders like Spencer Skipper, Ryan Hardy, Mitch Rawlins, Dave Winchester, Ben Player, Brenden Newton, Damian King… have pushed bodyboarding in a new direction, with maneuvers that a few years ago seemed impossible to perform.
People who practice this sport are called “bodyboarders” or “cork riders”. The main difference between surfing and bodyboarding is that in bodyboarding it is not necessary to stand up, so the beginnings of this sport are simpler and more rewarding.
So now you know. If you want to have your first sensations catching waves, possibly this is your ideal sport.
