A semi-submersible aquatic sports board having a primary load supporting region which is substantially more buoyant and has a greater vertical dimension than other regions of the board. The board may comprise a curved hull, a keel projecting downwardly from the hull and a deck positioned on an upper surface of the hull for supporting a rider in the primary load supporting region. In one embodiment the board may be propelled by a rider supported on the deck in a prone position by using motions similar to natural swimming strokes. The rider can initiate pivoting motion of the board about an axis aligned with the primary load supporting region to aid in self- propulsion. Optionally tail accessories, such as fins, can be coupled to a stern end of the keel and/or hull. At a narrow forward end of the hull the board may include opposed side rails having a pronounced upward curve which merge at a nose at the bow end. The rails may define a viewing opening therebetween.
