Abstract: The present invention provides a surfboard which includes, in the lower aft region, a vertically narrow flexible tongue, the bending range of which is restricted by an elastic device, and, in the upper aft region, a covering material. Two supports are arranged one behind the other in the surfboard's longitudinal direction. A rear support is secured to the tongue, and a forward support is located in the region of the forward end of the tongue or in front of the tongue. A stringer is provided for elastically connecting the front and rear supports. The surfboard provides a simple and space-saving design.
