The board is used on water and may be used in surf riding. The rider stands on the board and moves a vertical handle backward and forward. The lower end of this handle is angled in such a manner that a fin attached at the lower end moves a flexible fin upward and downward in a manner similar to a fish's fin and provides a propelling force.
