Recovery board with inner valley

Abstract

A recovery board for providing traction to a tire or track on a vehicle includes a main body having a leading edge and a trailing edge along a direction of travel wherein a distance between the leading edge and the trailing edge defines a length of the main body. The main body includes a top surface configured to engage the wheel or track of the vehicle having spaced apart rows of exterior gripping features and an interior row of gripping features between the spaced apart rows of exterior gripping features. Upper surfaces of the spaced apart rows of exterior gripping features are at a higher elevation relative to upper surfaces of the interior row of gripping features in a direction transverse to a direction of travel along the length of the main body such that an interior valley is formed between the spaced apart rows of exterior gripping features.
