Circular skim board

Abstract

A skim board is provided which incorporates a flat circular form for use in the receding surf at the waters edge. A rigid flat structure of sufficient weight, thickness and circumference so as to carry a rider across the shallow water and wet sand with little resistance. A circumference large enough to allow the rider side to side and fore and aft stepping about the platform surface, thus affording a certain measure of control and maneuverability.

What I claim is:  
     
         1 . A skim board comprising a circular board and including a flat top which provides a riding surface, a flat bottom which provides a gliding or skimming surface and a rounded over bottom edge.  
     
     
         2 . A skim board as in  claim 1  for use in riding on the receeding surf's shallow water and wet sand.  
     
     
         3 . A skim board as in  claim 1  which the circumference of the board is large enough to allow an upright rider enough stepping movement side to side and fore and aft to afford a certain measure of control and maneuverability.  
     
     
         4 . A skim board as in  claim 1  in which the flat laminated layers forming the rigid structure are of wood, plastic or a combination of both and attain a finished thickness of one half to seven eighths of an inch.  
     
     
         5 . A skim board as in  claim 1  in which the bottom edge of the flat gliding or skimming surface has around over shape sufficient in profile to divert excess water not necessary to glide across the receding surf's shallow water and wet sand.
