- 7. A towable board according to claim 2, wherein said gripping means have ergonomical edges, and said at least one fin and said flat body each have a smooth and rounded shape without any sharp edges.
- 8. A towable board according to claim 1, wherein the traction point is a hole.
- 9. A towable board according to claim 1, wherein the traction point is located in a detachable piece.
- 10. A towable board according to claim 9, wherein said detachable piece is a transverse bridge-shaped piece and has at least two holes through which said piece is fastened to at least two holes disposed in said wings.
- 11. A towable board according to claim 10, wherein a position of said piece with respect to said wings are defined by a plurality of lines of consecutive holes disposed on both sides of said front to rear axis.
- 12. A towable board according to claim 10, wherein said piece has a plurality of consecutive holes by means of which said piece is coupled to at least two holes in said wings of the body.
- 13. A towable board according to claim 9, wherein a position of the traction point can be adjusted along the front to rear axis.
- 14. A towable board according to claim 13, wherein a position of said piece is defined by a plurality of lines of consecutive holes in said piece that are disposed on both sides of said front to rear axis.
- 15. A towable board according to claim 1, wherein a position of the traction point can be adjusted along the front to rear axis.
- 16. A towable board according to claim 15, wherein said adjustable position is defined by lines of a plurality of consecutive holes disposed on both sides of said from to rear axis.
- 17. A towable board according to claim 15, wherein said adjustable position is defined by a plurality of consecutive holes disposed in a detachable piece by means of which said piece is coupled to at least two holes in said wings of the body.
- 18. A towable board according to claim 17, wherein said gripping means have ergonomical edges and said at least one fin and said flat body each have a smooth and rounded shape without any sharp edges.
- 19. A towable board according to claim 1, wherein the traction point is disposed in a transverse bridge-shaped piece that has at least two holes through which said piece is fastened to at least two holes disposed in said wings.
- 20. A towable board according to claim 19, wherein a position of the traction point can be adjusted along the front to rear axis.
- 21. A towable board according to claim 20, wherein a position of said piece is defined by a plurality of lines of consecutive holes in said piece that are disposed on both sides of said front to rear axis.
- 22. A towable board according to claim 19, wherein said piece has a plurality of consecutive holes by means of which said piece is coupled to at least two holes in said wings of the body.
- 23. A towable board according to claim 1, wherein said gripping means have ergonomical edges and said at least one fin and said flat body each have a smooth and rounded shape without any sharp edges.
- 24. A towable board for underwater swimming and riding on the water surface comprising:
- a substantially flat body having a front to rear axis, said body having a deep front notch and a rear notch dividing the body into two wings that are symmetric with respect to each other about said front to rear axis;
- at least two gripping means for permitting gripping by a user's hands, said gripping means being disposed in each of said wings and being symmetric with respect to each other about said front to rear axis;
- a traction point having means for being connected to a towing rope, said traction point being disposed on said front to rear axis, wherein said front notch has a saddle point that is located in a rear position with respect to a transverse line passing through said gripping means, and the traction point is located between said saddle-point and said transverse line; and
- at least one fin placed on a bottom surface of the body.
