Shaped inflatable water sports board

An inflatable water sports board comprising:

• means for housing, said housing means comprising a predetermined shape substantially duplicating shape details of a performance surfing board upon inflation of said housing means;
• means for internally maintaining said predetermined shape of said housing means;
• and
• means for inflating said housing means.

An inflatable surfboard comprising:

• a flexible and collapsible airtight housing comprising a predetermined shape substantially duplicating shape details of a performance surfboard, said substantially duplicated shape being achieved by properly configuring rockers, means for shaping underside short axis curves, rails, foil and top deck contours, whereby said substantially duplicated shape enables specific performance characteristics comprising a combination of handling, speed and maneuverability;
• a flexible and collapsible internal structure contained within said housing for substantially maintaining said predetermined shape when said housing is inflated, said internal structure comprising a foam material shaped from dimensions of said predetermined shape and substantially filling said housing in whole or part, wherein said foam material captures said shape details of said predetermined shape when said material is constructed, allows air to flow freely through its material matrix and is sufficiently collapsible for transportation and storage;
• an inflation valve positioned on a tap said of the surfboard for inflating said housing where when the surfboard is inflated the surfboard is sufficiently rigid to maintain said predetermined shape under the weight of an adult when the surfboard is in use;
• and
• one or more fins attachable to an underside of the surfboard for changing the performance of the surfboard when in use.
