We’ve seen a few new boards and smallcraft, but Bodyboating is a fairly new introduction to us. Bellyak is just releasing its new craft, and launching the new sport of bodyboating on the waters. This is a cross between a kayak and surfboard, but with new elements brought to water sports. Video after the jump

Bodyboard-Kayak Hybrid Spotted Down River!
We’re always on the lookout for new and innovative fitness products, and this week we heard about the Bellyak, which is essentially a hybrid of a kayak and a river body board. This hand-paddled craft can be used to head down a river head first!
Invented by husband and wife team Adam and Anna Masters, it was reportedly inspired by the duo’s desire to create a craft that could be used by anyone, even beginners. It is thus easier to exit than a traditional kayak, and offers an easier learning curve. It also puts riders in the water in a way that other craft don’t do – namely head first at water level. Currently the Masters are working on two models that could hit the rapids this summer. Video after the jump
