What is the difference between a belly board and a boogie board?
Before you go bellyboarding, it’s important to know (and tell any children) that a bellyboard isn’t a flotation device. This is where it differs from a bodyboard or a boogie board which are designed to float. A bellyboard is much thinner and acts as a plaining surface to glide across the water. So, What Exactly Is Bellyboarding? A bellyboard is usually around 3 feet long with an elevated round nose and a flat tail. They can be made from a number of different materials including wood, fibreglass and foam. Boarders use the white water to ride into shore.
