whats the diffrence between body bording and surfboarding?

you lay down while boogie boarding.

When you body board, you are laying down on a smaller board on your stomach. Surfing requires a much larger board where you stand up on the wave.

Some other key differences:

-Body boarders like to wear fins

-Body boards are made of a softer foam, where surfboards are hard fiberglass

boogie boarding is when you lay on your stomach on a smaller board and stay closer to shore

surfing is when you stand on a bigger board not as close to shore
