ABSTRACT:
A bodysurfing device which assists in providing buoyancy as well as increased speed through the water. The device includes an elongated planar buoyant member with a compartment of streamlined shape located at the forward end of the buoyant member, having an opening therein to receive the hand of the surfer. A series of ridges and recessed portions in the surface of the planar member allow the surfer to firmly grip the device. By inserting one hand in the compartment and extending the arm bearing the device in front of him, the surfer can greatly increase his speed through the water while riding a wave.
