The present invention features a body board system for giving a user a greater sense of maneuverability and control when using the body board. The system features a generally planar body board having a channel located in a body board top surface. The system features a first pivoting base located in a channel first end and a second pivoting base located in a channel second end. A handle assembly is pivotally located on the top surface and features a handle with a handle first end pivotally located on the first pivoting base and a handle second end pivotally located on the second pivoting base. For a first position, the handle is adapted to be pivoted from the channel and raised to an angle for use by a user and for a second position the handle is adapted to be pivoted into the channel.

1. A body board system (100) for giving a user a greater sense of maneuverability and control, the system (100) comprising: (a) a generally planar body board (110) having a body board anterior edge (111), an opposing body board posterior edge (112), a body board first side (113), an opposing body board second side (114), a body board top surface (115), and an opposing body board bottom surface (116), wherein a channel (120) is disposed in the body board top surface (115) having a channel first end (121), a channel second end (122), a channel top (123), a channel floor (125), and a channel depth (124), wherein the channel first end (121) is disposed adjacent to the body board first side (113) and the channel second end (122) is disposed adjacent to the body board second side (114), wherein the channel top (123) is disposed adjacent to the body board anterior edge (111), wherein the channel depth (124) is measured between a body board top surface (115) and the channel floor (125); (b) a first pivoting base (130) disposed in the channel first end (121) and a second pivoting base (140) disposed in the channel second end (122), wherein the first pivoting base (130) comprises a first nub (131) disposed thereon, wherein the second pivoting base (140) comprises a second nub (141) disposed thereon; wherein a first distance (300) from the first pivoting base to the body board first side edge (308) is the same as a second distance (302) from the second pivoting base to the body board second side edge (310); and (c) a handle (150) pivotally disposed on the body board top surface (115), wherein the handle (150) comprises a handle first end (151), a handle second end (152), and a handle top (153), wherein the handle first end (151) is pivotally disposed on the first pivoting base (130) and the handle second end (152) is pivotally disposed on the second pivoting base (140) via a single axle rod (160) disposed through a cross-section of the first pivoting base (130) and the handle first end (151), and the second pivoting base (140) and the handle second end (152); wherein the handle (150) arches over a midline (306) that symmetrically divides the body board (110) into the body board first side (113) and the body board second side (114); wherein BOTH sides of the channel (120) conform and trace to the shape of the handle (150); wherein a handle height (170) measured between a center of an axis (171) having a beginning at the handle first end (151) and an ending at the handle second end (152) and the handle top (153) is at least one half a handle width (180) measured between the handle first end (151) and the handle second end (152); wherein for a first position, the handle (150) is adapted to be pivoted from the channel (120) and raised to an angle (190) for use by a user, wherein the angle (190) is set via the handle interfacing against a first back wall angle (132) disposed in the first pivoting base (130) and a second back wall angle (142) disposed in the second pivoting base (140); wherein the handle (150) is held into place via the first hemi cylindrical nub (131) disposed on the first pivoting base (130) and the second hemi cylindrical nub (141) disposed on the second pivoting base (140); wherein for a second position, the handle (150) is adapted to be pivoted into the channel (120) against the channel floor (125), wherein the handle (150) is disposed flush with the body board top surface (115) within the channel (120). 2. The system (100) of claim 1, wherein the handle (150) is arc-shaped and consists of 180 degrees. 3. The system (100) of claim 1, wherein the channel (120) is arc-shaped and consists of 180 degrees. 4. The system (100) of claim 1, wherein the handle (150) consists of a shape of one-half of a polygon. 5. The system (100) of claim 1, wherein the channel (120) consists of a shape of one-half of a polygon. 6. The system (100) of claim 1, wherein the handle (150) is foam covered. 7. The body board system of claim 1 wherein the first nub (131) and second nub (141) are hemi cylindrical in shape.
