The bodyboard differs from a surfboard in that it is much shorter and made of foam. The board consists of a foam ’core’ encapsulated by a plastic bottom and a softer foam top known as the deck. The core is made up from dow/polyethylene, arcel or, more recently, polypropylene. Each type of foam gives the bodyboard a different amount of flex and control for the rider. 3, record 5, English, - bodyboard
