Bodyboarding vs surfing?

Question

which one is better

only answer if you do one

Answer 1

I disagree with the dude above saying that it's easier to duck with a body board. A body board is more of a float able device than a surfboard. You can run over the waves with a surfboard, with a body board you have to push down as hard as you can and hope you don't get sucked back into a 7 foot wave and have a really bad wipeout

Answer 2

there both fun but id have to go with surfing since bodyboarding is nothing special really...surfing has a whole world behind it while bodyboarding isnt really a nationwide sport and isnt specialized...

Answer 3

well bodyboarding is much easier to start for a beginner: no need to try to stand up, easier to duck when passing the waves, cheaper, not as fragile as a surf.....

Surfboard provides more sensation, since you are standing, but on small waves, you feel like the wave is bigger in bodyboard, since your head is close to the water level...

Have good legs for bodyboarding

Have good arms for surfoboarding.
