ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a sports or body board for use in gliding or sliding on a fluid surface, such as water or snow and/or both. The board is designed with a step deck rail along the length of both sides of the board to decrease rail drag and to increase performance, speed and maneuverability. The step deck rails are created by removing mass, through routing or other shaping, a preferred depth and width along the outside line of the board. The side rails can be created in a variety of shapes, depths and thicknesses as desired by the manufacturer for a particular use. Mass may be removed from either the top or bottom of the side rail or both as desired, and the width, bevel angle, depth and thickness of the step rail or rails may vary as desired.
