Body Boarding is similar to surfing in that waves are used to propel the rider, but the similarities stop there. There are two main ways a body board can be ridden : prone and dropknee. Prone is where the ride lies on his/her stomach and leans into the wave with their inside arm. Dropknee involves resting your weight on one knee and the other foot.

Body Boards are very manoeuvrable and are the perfect vehicles for riding small barrels. Some tricks that body boarders perform are spinners (a 360), El Rollos and the ARS (air roll spin).

The picture on the left shows the rivalry that sometimes exists between surfers and body boarders.
