Abstract:
1. A resistance kickboard, comprising: a one piece rigid buoyant body; a top smooth side on the rigid buoyant body; a bottom side on the one piece rigid buoyant body with a plurality of resistance components formed at a pre-determined angle and existing as a portion of the bottom side that provide resistance when the one piece rigid buoyant body is moved through water, wherein the plurality of resistance components include a plurality of equally spaced parallel rows of angular components formed on the bottom side of the one piece rigid buoyant body, wherein selected ones of the plurality of equally spaced parallel rows of angular components extend completely across the bottom side from one side to another side and are parallel to each other, wherein the pre-determined angle includes a pre-determined angle between forty-five degrees and one-hundred thirty-five degrees, wherein each angular component in the plurality of equally spaced parallel rows of angular components includes a plurality of individual resistance elements to individually provide resistance in the water, wherein the plurality of equally spaced parallel rows of angular components collectively provide resistance in the water; and wherein varying the pre-determined angle of the plurality of resistance components formed and existing as a portion of the bottom side provides varying levels of resistance in the water; and a plurality of grasping locations on the one piece rigid buoyant body.
