Abstract: An improved skate-board for reclined use. A substantially thin board has a cross-section that is curved to be ergonomically advantageous for reclined use. The board is broader than and extends laterally beyond its operator. The board includes two skate wheel trucks either or both of which may employ bicycle-type hand brakes wherein, preferably, the brake pads are removed. The board includes upwardly projecting hand grips aiding the operator to control the board and to operate the hand-brakes, the hand levers of which are attached thereto. The board further includes laterally disposed downwardly projecting skid runners for protecting the board during cornering. The board still further includes heel guides proximate the position of the operator's feet, for helping maintain the operator's feet inboard of the skate-board.
