FAQs:
Boogie boarding is a popular riding activity in which riders lie on their stomachs on a small, lightweight board and skip on top of the waves. The boards are usually about 5 feet long and 2 feet wide, and they have a fin on the bottom that helps to keep the rider stable.
The average boogie board typically costs between $35 and $50. Higher-end boards may cost more, but they often offer better performance and durability. If you’re just starting out, it’s best to choose a board that’s on the lower end of the price range.
In general, boogie boarding requires less skill than surfing. With surfing, you need to be able to paddle and pop up on the board in order to catch a wave. Boogie boarding, on the other hand, simply involves holding on to the board tight.
