A personal water sports board with a wave engager operably secured thereto for operation in a flow of water, such as a boogie board and the like, is disclosed. The wave engager has a wall shaped to allow water to flow freely thereby in one direction, but to operably engage water flowing from an opposite second direction thereby propelling the board in that opposite second direction. Disclosed embodiments include wave engagers formed of indentions and/or protrusions along the water engaging surface of the board. Preferably, a plurality of wave engagers are provided, and the height of each wave engager's wall increases the further it is positioned toward the front of the board. Wave engagers are preferably positioned on the lower surface and/or on the left and right sides of the board.

What is claimed is: 1. A personal water sports board for operation in a flow of water, said board having an elongate flotation board having a front end, a back end, a longitudinal centerline and a lower surface; and, a plurality of wave engagers formed as indentations in the lower surface, each wave engager of said plurality of wave engagers positioned so as to be independent of, and not connected to any other of said plurality of wave engagers except by the lower surface in which each wave engager is formed, and each wave engager having; a wall portion positioned substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline of the elongate flotation board; a flowing side, wherein water traveling in a first direction substantially flows by said wall; an engaging side, wherein water traveling in an opposite second direction engages said substantially perpendicular wall; and said engaging side positioned so as to engage the flow of water whereby water first entering the wave engager must travel out of the wave engager and over the lower surface before it may enter any other of said plurality of independent wave engagers. 2. The personal water sports board of claim 1, wherein said wave engager further includes left and right side walls. 3. The personal water sports board of claim 2, wherein said left and right side walls extend from said wall portion to define a substantially rectangular shape. 4. The personal water sports board of claim 2, wherein said left and right side walls extend from said wall portion toward each other. 5. The personal water sports board of claim 2, wherein said left and right side walls define a substantially tear-drop shape. 6. The personal water sports board of claim 2, wherein at least one wave engager of said plurality of wave engagers straddles said longitudinal centerline of said board. 7. The personal water sports board of claim 1, wherein said wave engagers forming said plurality of wave engagers are aligned symmetrically about said longitudinal centerline of said board. 8. The personal water sports board of claim 1, wherein the wall portion of each wave engager forming said plurality of wave engagers has a different defined height. 9. The personal water sports board of claim 8, wherein said defined height of each wave engager of said plurality of wave engages increases from the back end to the front end of said board such that wave engages positioned toward the front end of the board have a greater defined height that wave engagers positioned toward the back end of said board. 10. The personal water sports board of clam 1, wherein said wall portion is substantially planar. 11. The personal water sports board of claim 10, wherein at least one wave engager of said plurality of wave engagers is operably secured to said left side, and at least one wave engager of said plurality of wave engagers is operably secured to said right side. 12. The personal water sports board of claim 1, wherein said wall portion is substantially c-shaped. 13. The personal water sports board of claim 1, wherein said personal water sports board is a boogie board and said flow of water is a wave.
