Abstract:
A human powered watercraft is disclosed. An exemplary embodiment includes a board body having a top rider surface, a bottom submerged surface, a front section half, a rear section half, a board centerline and a board plane. A leg engagement mechanism is pivotally connected to the board body positioned generally along the rear section half. The leg engagement mechanism engages a rider's legs while laying in a prone position on the top rider surface. A fin propulsion mechanism is pivotally connected to the board body positioned generally below a water line and mechanically coupled to the leg engagement mechanism. Rotating the leg engagement mechanism rotates the fin propulsion mechanism, thus creating a forward thrust.
