A submersible water toy for stunt based activities includes a main body portion constructed of a buoyant material. The main body portion defines an upper deck surface upon which the user can stand or otherwise be supported. The buoyancy of the main body portion is such that at least a portion of the user's weight is supported when used in a pool or other body of water.

1. A submersible water toy, comprising: a core unitarily formed of at least one of an ethylene vinyl acetate foam or an expanded polystyrene foam, the core having a thickness substantially corresponding to a thickness of the submersible water toy in a dimension substantially normal to a surface of water when the submersible water toy is submersed in the water, the core having a length no greater than about 31 inches and a width no greater than about 8 inches,the core having a front end portion, a rear end portion and a central portion between the front end portion and the rear end portion, the central portion having a first edge and a second edge, the first edge being substantially parallel to the second edge,a buoyancy of the core configured to buoyantly support a user in a substantially standing position with the user's feet contacting a surface of the submersible water toy and such that the submersible water toy is entirely submersible. 2. The submersible water toy of claim 1, wherein the core has a three-dimensional pattern on an upper surface of the core, the three-dimensional pattern being configured to increase traction of the upper surface of the core. 3. The submersible water toy of claim 1, wherein the front end portion of the core cantilevered and the rear end portion of the core is cantilevered, the cantilevered front end portion of the core and the cantilevered rear end portion of the core being raised relative to the central portion of the core. 4. The submersible water toy of claim 1, wherein the buoyancy of the core is configured such that the user's feet and at least a portion of the user's legs are submersed when the submersible water toy is submersed with the user in a substantially standing position on the submersible water toy. 5. The submersible water toy of claim 1, wherein the buoyancy of the core is configured such that the user's legs and at least a portion of the user's torso are submersed when the submersible water toy is submersed with the user in a substantially standing position on the submersible water toy. 6. The submersible water toy of claim 1, wherein the buoyancy of the core is configured such that the submersible water toy can be submersed until a bottom surface of the submersible water toy contacts a bottom surface of the body of water. 7. The submersible water toy of claim 1, wherein the front end portion and the rear end portion of the core each have a convexly curved shaped in a top view of the core. 8. A submersible water toy, comprising: a core unitarily formed of foam, the core having a length along a first dimension, a width along a second dimension transverse to the first dimension and a thickness along a third dimension transverse to the first dimension and the second dimension, the width being greater than the thickness, the length being greater than the width and the thickness, the core including a top surface having a length no greater than about 31 inches and a width no greater than about 8 inches,the core corresponding to a middle portion of the submersible water toy along the third dimension, at least a portion of an upper portion of the submersible water toy along the third dimension and at least a portion of a lower portion of the submersible water toy along the third dimension,the core being configured to be entirely submersed when a user is buoyantly supported and partially submersed in a substantially standing position with the user's feet contacting a surface of the submersible water toy. 9. The submersible water toy of claim 8, wherein the core corresponds to the entire upper portion of the submersible water toy, the submersible water toy further comprising a shell, at least a portion of the shell being disposed within the lower portion of the submersible water toy, a lower surface of the core being disposed between the portion of the shell and the middle portion of the submersible water toy. 10. The submersible water toy of claim 8, wherein the core corresponds to the entire lower portion of the submersible water toy, the submersible water toy further comprising a shell, at least a portion of the shell being disposed within the upper portion of the submersible water toy, an upper surface of the core being disposed between the portion of the shell and the middle portion of the submersible water toy. 11. The submersible water toy of claim 8, further comprising: a shell having a first portion disposed within the lower portion of the submersible water toy and a second portion disposed within the upper portion of the submersible water toy,a lower surface of the core being disposed between the first portion of the shell and the middle portion of the submersible water toy,an upper surface of the core being disposed between the second portion of the shell and the middle portion of the submersible water toy. 12. The submersible water toy of claim 8, wherein the core has a three-dimensional pattern on an upper surface of the core, the three-dimensional pattern being configured to increase traction of the upper surface of the core. 13. The submersible water toy of claim 8, wherein the core is formed of at least one of an ethylene vinyl acetate foam or an expanded polystyrene foam. 14. The submersible water toy of claim 8, wherein the front end portion of the core is cantilevered and the rear end portion of the core is cantilevered, the cantilevered front end portion of the core and the cantilevered rear end portion of the core being raised relative to the central portion of the core. 15. The submersible water toy of claim 8, wherein the core has a front end portion, a rear end portion and a central portion between the front end portion and the rear end portion, the central portion having a first edge and a second edge, the first edge being substantially parallel to the second edge, the front end portion and the rear end portion of the core each have a convexly curved shaped in a top view of the core. 16. A submersible water toy, comprising: a core unitarily formed of foam, the core having a length along a first dimension, a width along a second dimension transverse to the first dimension and a thickness along a third dimension transverse to the first dimension and the second dimension, the width being greater than the thickness, the length being greater than the width and the thickness, the core having a length of one of about 29 inches and about 31 inches and a width of about 8 inches,the core corresponding to a middle portion of the submersible water toy along the third dimension, at least a portion of an upper portion of the submersible water toy along the third dimension and the entire lower portion of the submersible water toy along the third dimension,the core having a buoyancy such that the submersible water toy floats when a user is not disposed on the submersible water toy and such that the submersible water toy is entirely submersed when a user is buoyantly supported on a surface of the submersible water toy and the user is at least partially submersed; anda shell, at least a portion of the shell being disposed within the upper portion of the submersible water toy, an upper surface of the core being disposed between the portion of the shell and the middle portion of the submersible water toy. 17. The submersible water toy of claim 16, wherein the core has a front end portion, a rear end portion and a central portion between the front end portion and the rear end portion, the central portion having a first edge and a second edge, the first edge being substantially parallel to the second edge, the front end portion and the rear end portion of the core each have a convexly curved shaped in a top view of the core.
