ABSTRACT:
A recreational board for use in water sports is constructed of a lightweight core material and surrounded by a waterproof skin. The core is preferably in a honeycomb orientation and constructed of lightweight fibers such as aramid fibers. The skin contains a first layer of fiberglass scrim and a second laminating layer which saturates the first layer and protects the core from water damage. The board is constructed in a shape that is easily controllable by a rider on the water. The board can also contain one or more fins on the lower surface of the board to provide directional stability to the board. A sail mast can be affixed to the board through its upper surface to allow the board to be wind driven through the water.
