- The present invention relates to a surfboard, and more particularly, to a surfboard that can be moved by a user's power on a calm shore without waves and whose direction also can be changed by using user's hands during movement.
- In general, surfing is a marine sport that competes for height, speed, and skill by riding a surfboard up and down the slope surface of sea waves, and it is a sport that requires a high sense of balance and precise timing.
- To enjoy surfing, there must be waves, and if there are no waves in the sea, you cannot enjoy surfing.
- For enjoying surfing in the sea without waves, in Korean Patent Publication No. 2003-0067609, Motor Surfing Board (published on Aug. 14, 2003), a technology that allows you to enjoy surfing in a place where there is no wind or waves by attaching a power device that uses a motor to the surfboard has been disclosed.

- The first and second propulsion bodies of the surfboard moved by user power are hinged in a ball-socket joint method that freely moves with respect to the surfboard body, and through holes are formed in the first and second overturn prevention bodies, and the through holes are inserted into the protrusions protruding from the upper surface of the surfboard body so that the first and second overturn prevention bodies are rotated in a direction parallel to the upper surface of the surface board body.
- The direction change unit of surfboards moved by user power comprises: a through hole passing through the surfboard body; a rotating member inserted into the through hole and rotated in a direction parallel to the surfboard body; a first folding part coupled to the rotating shaft on an upper portion of the rotating member to fold the rotating shaft; and a folding unit having a second folding part for folding the direction change key on a lower portion of the rotating member.

- The surfboards moved by user power according to the present invention can be moved by the user's power on the coast where there are no winds or waves, and the direction can be easily changed using the user's hand during movement, and have an effect that after use, each part can be folded to enhance the convenience of moving and minimize the storage volume.
