At the spot where I learned it was called "dredging". I've heard others call it "slogging", and others "putting".
What's it called where you are?
Is there an internationally recognised term for off the plane sailing on shortboards?

Yes offplane is boring sailing with shortboard, relaxed cruising with mid lenght and enjoyment on raceboard.

Bogging. As in being bogged rather than other interpretations...

I've always called it ploughing since the 1980s, but I rarely (never?) hear others use it. Only one other has mentioned it in this thread.
