Abstract: A skim board for use in the shallow water at the edge is illustrated as having a body constructed of a clear, transparent plastic sheet having a concave surface at the top for the feet of the user and a convex surface at the bottom. A pattern in bright color extends across the clear plastic sheet making same visible in the shallow water while a clear plastic area remains through which the user may see the water line and thus know where to place his feet when jumping on the skim board.
