Deformable body board

Abstract

The present invention is a body board for use by a person comprising first, second and third floatation members each having an upper surface and a lower surface and a length substantially greater than their width. The first floatation member is spaced adjacent to the second floatation member and the second floatation member is spaced adjacent the third floatation member. The body board further comprises an outside skin retaining the first, second, and third floatation members. The first floatation member is moveable relative to the second floatation member. The third floatation member is moveable relative to the second floatation member. In operation the person may grasp the first and third floatation members to conform the body board to the person's body.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A body board for use by a person comprising first, second and third floatation members each having an upper surface and a lower surface and a length substantially greater than their width; said first floatation member being spaced adjacent said second floatation member; said second floatation member being spaced adjacent said third floatation member; an outside skin retaining said first, second, and third floatation members; said first floatation member being moveable flexible relative to said second floatation member; said third floatation member being moveable relative to said second floatation member, whereby the person during use may grasp the first and third floatation members to conform said body board to the person's body.  
     
     
         2 . The body board of  claim 1 , further comprising four and fifth floatation members an upper surface and a lower surface and a length substantially greater than their width.  
     
     
         3 . The body board of  claim 2 , wherein said outer skin is made from a cloth.  
     
     
         4 . The body board of  claim 3 , further comprising a first seam located between said first and second floatation members; a second seam located between said third and second floatation members; a third seam located between said fourth and first floatation members; and a fourth seam between said fifth and third floatation members.  
     
     
         5 . The body board of  claim 4 , wherein said second, third, fourth and fifth floatation members are curved to conform to the person's body when moved by the person.
