ABSTRACT:
A wave riding surfing board with a pair of transversely oriented hydrofoils, each attached to respective front and rear struts, for supporting a surfer in a prone or kneeling position. In operation, the front canard hydrofoil is arranged for piercing the surface of the water and partially supporting the weight of the rider and the board, while the fully submerged rear hydrofoil is arranged for supporting the remaining 90–100 percent of the weight. The rigging angle of the front canard hydrofoil can be adjusted. The surfing board can be maneuvered by banking the board. In a preferred embodiment, a pair of control handles and a control mechanism give rider a control over the front canard hydrofoil and the flap surfaces on the trailing edge of the rear strut to enable precision maneuvering.
