ABSTRACT:
A bodyboard configured for enhanced control includes hand-holds disposed adjacent each side edge configured for being securely gripped by a rider and for orienting and maintaining a rider's hand in a predetermined position relative to the length of the bodyboard. The present invention is directed further to a bodyboard having a "scoop" provided on the front nose end, which is defined by a concave section which provides an enhanced gripping surface for a rider's extended or leading arm. Thus, the leading and trailing arms both have secure hand-holds so that controlled turns and other maneuvers may be effected by a rider.
