1. A rider-controllable skimboard comprising:
a planar board having a top surface, a bottom surface, a nose, a tail, and opposing side edges between the nose and the tail, the nose and the tail defining a length of the board; a connection mechanism mounted to the top surface and proximate the nose of the planar board, the connection mechanism having a vertical pivoting mechanism and a lateral pivoting mechanism; and a handle connected with the vertical pivoting mechanism and the lateral pivoting mechanism of the connection mechanism for respective limited vertical pivoting and lateral pivoting of the handle relative to the planar board, the handle having a lower stem and an upper stem connected to the lower stem at an angle displaced from an axis of the lower stem, the handle further having at least one handgrip that extends laterally outward from the upper stem, the lower stem having a length of 80 to 120 percent of the length of the board, such that in a non-pivoted position the handgrip is positioned within 20 percent of the length of the board from the tail, and such that the limited vertical pivoting of the handle by the rider positions the upper stem substantially horizontal and proximate the rider's waist. |
