I would call it a back board.

Yep you can lay on it and get your friends to carry you around. Hours of fun.

I would call it a back board.

I googled "vintage backboard" and saw several similar items.

If you need a decorator idea...

it's what they put you on back in the day with a neck or spine injury. Used , to carry by a number of people , usually at a pool,in an ambulance, fire truck for off road crashes, that type of thing.
