Abstract: A maneuverable body surfing board (10) having a nose portion (14), rearwardly extending base control fins (23) and sidewall control fins (26) for directional control and stabilization. The nose portion (14) is a partially spherical region on the forward end (16) of the body surfing board (10). A bottom portion (18) is formed by two planar surfaces (34) which intersect at a recessed central apex (32). The base control fins (23) are formed on lateral edges (20) of the bottom portion (18). Sidewalls (22) extend upwardly and outwardly from the base control fins (23). The sidewalls (22) are preferably convex and terminate on their upper ends in the sidewall control fins (26). The sidewall control fins include a leading surface (36) which extends outboard of the nose portion (14) and faces forwardly and downwardly and a trailing surface (38) which extends outboard from the sidewalls (22) and faces downward and rearwardly.
