Bodyboarding is a surface water sport (sometimes called Boogieboarding, from the inventor Tom Morey, of the "Boogie Board" where Boogie is an original brand in the greater bodyboard industry/market). The average board consists of a small, rectangular piece of hydrodynamic foam, sometimes containing a ridged spine called a 'stringer'. Bodyboarders typically use swim-fins for additional propulsion into and control while riding a wave.
The boards are shaped to the rider's specific needs such as height, weight and riding style. Those styles include prone (layout flat on your belly), dropknee (one foot forward and flat on the deck of the board and the back leg has its knee to ankle on the deck), and stand-up (both feet on the deck). Bodyboarding originated in the Hawaiian islands on "Paipo" (PIPE OH) boards. The decades from 1970 to 2010 has seen the birth and rapid growth in popularity of the modern foam based version of this sport that predates the first stand-up surfing by hundreds of years.
Mike Stewart is considered the father of modern bodyboarding and holds an unprecedented 10 world titles. The current World Tour champion is French Amaury Lavernhe. The most successful competitor on this tour has been Brazilian Guilherme Tāmega. All are still competing against each other in the tour world tour.
