Bodyboarding originates from Indigenous Polynesians partaking in the ancient form of riding waves on your belly or knees. Bodyboarding, also known as Boogie Boards, became popularised in Western Culture as a competitive and recreational Water Sport. ‘Boogie Boarding’ was introduced by Tom Morey at the crest of the 1970s and remains a popular form of full body muscle strengthening activity today.
