This type of surfing has an amazing heritage which dates back at least 100 years. It was the Original British Surf Sport, also known as Surf Riding, but now more often called wooden bodyboarding or bellyboarding. The design of these thin wooden surfboards was Inspired by the ancient Hawaiin “paipo” boards.
