Abstract
The combination of a body surfboard (10) and a pair of floats (20) and (21) attached together by fasteners (30), (31) and (32) passing through holes (35), (42) and (44) in the float members and similar holes in the board. A reinforcing web (50) bonded to the outer surface of a portion of each float and a reinforcing rod (52) inserted into a hole drilled from the end of each float serve to reinforce each float against breakage while allowing limited bending of the rear extension (27).
