Surf Or Body Board

Body boarding is not the same as surfing. It uses the same controls as surfing but the board is shorter and faster, and turns faster. kick into a wave, then position and slide along. Easier to get tubed, and easier to spin and tun, fast and crazy, and harder to fall. You can start out body boarding and learn some tricks, and then switch to surfing where learning to surf is easier. Or after surfing if you'd like to try something different, switch to the body boarder and learn new tricks, tubes, and spins.
