Abstract
A diving board having a shell including a top surface with one or more pockets formed thereon. The pockets are recessed inwardly from the top surface of the shell and sized to receive a non-slip tread surface therein. The tread surface may be made from any of a variety of suitable materials, such as a composite material primarily comprising cork, and arranged such that the tread surface is substantially flush relative to the top surface of the shell when seated therein. An adhesive layer may be used to adhere the tread surface in the pocket of the shell.
