Abstract
A kickboard made of an elongate board having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the board has front, rear, and side edges that border the top and bottom surfaces. The bottom surface of the board is substantially convex in shape within the front and side edges. The board has a pair of elongate channels of defined depth formed in the bottom surface. The channels extend longitudinally from the rear edge toward the front edge and taper in depth near the front edge. The channels provide a variety of comfortable, ergonomically designed hand grip positions and also provide stability to the kickboard.
