Maybe I dont get out enough, but..?

Question

I'm headed to Pensacola beach for the 4th. I wanna try a water sport (wading/swimming and getting socked around by the waves doesnt count) What is the sport where you lay on the board with your stomach... is that wave boarding or body boarding? It has the strap you wrap around your wrist. Also, could you please tell me how hard or easy it is? Like on a scale of 1-10. Who it's easiest for and who it's more difficult for. Stuff like that. All the info helps a lot! Thanks in advance! :D

Answer 1

body boarding is what you described.  I have never tried it myself, but my brother used to do it alot.  It is alot easier than surfing, but you will still get thrown off the board.

Have fun!!!

Answer 2

Boogie boarding is the thing where you ride the waves on your stomach with the strap around your wrist.  I would say it is very easy to learn for anyone who knows how to swim.
