What's the difference between a boogie board and a kick board?

Question

i enjoy going to the beach and getting in the water. Where i live there are pretty good waves but i'm not interested in surfing. I think boogie boarding is like surfing but on your stomach but i'm not sure. lol i know this is probably a dumb question but i just want something to float on and kick around in the ocean. Would a kickboard be more suited for what i want?

Answer 1

I think kick boards are those thin boards that you use right on the surf on the beach. you run on the sand and then you throw it down and slide across the surf on it then step off. the boogie is for stomach surfing but is pretty fun too. If you want to stand out in the surf, you will have to get a surfboard.

Answer 2

A kick board is what swimmers use at the pool a very thin buoyant board.

A bodyboard is what you use at the beach.

You can buy a bodyboard at your local sporting goods store. If the waves are over 1-2 feet you will want some fins. I suggest buying viper fins. Some good but expensive bodyboard brands are Custom X and BZ.
