ABSTRACT:
A body board for wave surfing includes a shark-shaped semi-rigid board having a pair of depending pectoral fins. The underside of the board is concave, and the board has a cone-shaped nose section with an underside including a series of laterally inboard projecting slats which open and close in response to movement of the fins. A tail section stabilizes the board in the water and provides a seat for the surfer while waiting for or traveling to a wave. The fins each include a sleeve adapted to receive the surfer's hands.
