What is body board?

http;//bodyboardmuseum/

• Body boarding is a surface water sport , invented by Tom Morey.  The average board consists of a small, rectangular piece of hydrodinamic foam, sometimes containing a ridged spine called a 'stringer'.
• Body boarders typically use swim-fins for additional propulsion into and control while riding a wave.
• The boards are shaped to the rider's specific needs such as height, weight and riding style.
• The decades from 1970 to 2010 have seen the birth and rapid growth in popularity of the modern foam-based version of this sport that predates the first stand-up surfing by hundreds of years.
