Water and snow planing board

Claim 1

A planing board comprising the coacting combination of: a bottom comprised of a sheet of polymeric resin, optionally including glass fiber reenforcing, the sheet longitudinally comprising an elongate generally flat portion and an upwardly curving front portion, the entire sheet being continuous and substantially flat in the lateral direction along substantially the entire length thereof; a top comprised of a sheet of polymeric resin, optionally including glass fiber reenforcing, the sheet comprising three portions, the first portion comprising a laterally substantially flat peripheral lip portion having substantially the same outline configuration as the outline configuration of the bottom, and being curved longitudinally corresponding to the longitudinal curvature of the bottom such that the lip lays snugly against the periphery of the bottom, the periphery of the bottom and the lip laterally forming a co-mating joint extending laterally inwardly in a substantially flat configuration, the second portion of the top comprising a raised portion extending around the top adjacent and inside a majority of the peripheral lip portion, the third portion being a generally central laterally substantially flat portion curved longitudinally in correspondence to the longitudinal curve of the bottom to lay snugly against the bottom; and the peripheral lip portions of the top and bottom adhesively bonded together forming a flat joining flange extending laterally outwardly around the periphery of the planing board, the bottom of the flange being co-planar laterally with the bottom of the planing board.
