What is body-surfing and bodyboarding?

Answer 1

Bodysurfing is the sport of riding a wave without the assistance of a device such as a bodyboard or surfboard. It should not be confused with bodyboarding, which is very similar but as the name implies, requires a board to do. As with bodyboarders, bodysurfers often use flippers for extra power and manauverability while riding waves. This type of Surfing requires quite large waves because of the force required to carry a body that is not supported by some sort of float.

Answer 2

Well.. Bodysurfing is basically catching a wave at the beach by smimming freestyle and when you start moving with the wave you place your 1 hand out in front and gliding along the top of the water at the same speed of the wave on ur stomoch Bodyboarding is using a bodyboard to skim along the top of the water, in the direction the wave is breaking (depending if its a left hand or right hand wave) in and out of barrells and performing aerial tricks
