Use: in building of light, predominantly individual sports and tourist floating craft. Essence of the invention: the display on the surface of the swimming board or surfboard broadcasts the information received both from video cameras located either on the surface of the floating craft or on the supports or pulled in tow under the water, and from external mobile and other devices. The display is configured to stabilize the displayed image and compensate effects caused by water refraction coefficient, and has the ability of creating animated graphic marks and tips to facilitate user's balancing on the floating craft.
A swimming board comprising a flat surface which faces a user for providing foot support to a user while the user is standing on the flat surface, characterized in that an information display is mounted in a central zone of the flat surface, wherein the central zone is the zone in which the user maintains balance while the swimming board is in motion, the information display enables the user to maintain balance on the swimming board and view the information display while the swimming board is in motion, the swimming board includes a tilt sensor, the flat surface of the swimming board and the surface of the information display are covered with a transparent insulating layer, said information display is configured to display information from an underwater video recorder or video camera attached to the swimming board in order to survey underwater objects and means for transmitting images from the video camera or video recorder to the information display, wherein information from a tilt sensor provided on the swimming board enables images to be stabilized in a horizontal plane so a user may view the flat surface of the swimming board and simultaneously observe underwater objects without shifting sight.
