Preferably the footrest extends across the rear end of the board, being generally perpendicular to the axis of elongation of the board. The tow line attachment means is preferably a passage opening on to the lower surface of the board through two openings. The board also has a forward elevated portion. There also may be an elevated edge piece on each side of the board on the upper surface extending from the footrest to the forward elevated portion.
