RESISTANCE WATER BOARD PADDLING SYSTEM
A resistance water board paddling system includes a board attachment unit having functionality for engaging a water board such as a surfboard, a paddleboard or a kayak. At least one elongated resistance band is removably connected to the board attachment unit, and includes a predetermined resistance level for simulating the resistance encountered by a user paddling a board along a water surface. An anchor assembly having an inelastic tether is coupled to the other end of the at least one resistance band. A ground anchor is selectively and removably attached to the other end of the inelastic tether or a skimmer attachment device is selectively and removably attached to the other end of the inelastic tether. The anchor assembly functioning to immobilize the system during user operation.
Water game apparatus
A water game apparatus having a buoyant seat platform with seats on opposing ends and handles on opposing sides to enables game participants to sit on the two opposing seats while other game participants jostle and rock the seat platform by holding onto and moving the handles. The game players try to maintain their balance and remain on the buoyant seat platform while being bucked and jostled. The last game player to remain on the buoyant seat platform is the winner. The seats may be concave depressions in the buoyant seat platform to provide some support of the game players and to prevent them from simply siding off the platform. The handles may be embedded in the seat platform of configured in a channel formed by a seat portion and water portion of an assembly. The water contact surface may be convex in shape from side to side.
WATERPROOF CONTAINER HAVING A WATERPROOF ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR
A watercraft and a waterproof electronics container are provided. The watercraft includes a flotation portion. A strut is removably affixed to a portion of the watercraft. A first connector portion is mounted to the upper end of the strut. A waterproof electronics container includes a second connector portion is disposed such that the second connector forms at least one electrically conductive pathway with the first connector portion when both are affixed to the watercraft. The waterproof electronics container is removably affixed to the said watercraft. In one aspect, the waterproof electronics container houses a power source capable of powering an electric motor that propels the watercraft.

CONNECTING DEVICE
The present invention provides a connecting device for connecting at least two floating bodies, in particular at least two stand-up paddle boards, side by side, comprising: a linkage having at least one rod; and a plurality of fastening means arranged on the at least one rod of the linkage, at least some of the plurality of fastening means being provided axially displaceable along the axis of the at least one rod of the linkage adapted to the respective geometry of the at least two floating bodies such that each floating body can be clamped between at least two fastening means on the at least one rod of the linkage in a positionally stable manner.
Fin Shaped Underwater Camera Housing and System Incorporating Same
The present invention provides a board mountable system for filming underwater video. The inventive board mountable system can be mounted to the underside of water vehicles for incorporating a camera for filming from an underwater perspective. The inventive board mountable system is shaped to minimize drag as a result of the mounted camera or camera system. Embodiments of the inventive system includes a fin shaped housing for holding a camera or camera system. In certain embodiments, the fin is removably attached to the water vehicle, such as a surf board, where the fin housing can be swapped with other fins being used with the water vehicle for controlling the direction of a watersports board in motion. These embodiments of the inventive system further include a connection means for connecting the fin to the underside of a water vessel.
