A single support stake surfboard support for elevating surfboards above a sandy beach. An elongated, hollow support stake, typically having a diagonal cut at its distal end to facilitate pressing the support stake into sand or other terrain. A T-support arm is removably, frictionally attached to a proximal end of the hollow support stake. In a first embodiment, cylindrical polymer cushions are disposed along the T-support arm. In the first embodiment, one or more surfboards may be laid flat across the pair of supports. In a second embodiment, at least two upwardly projecting members are attached to the distal and proximal ends of the T-support arm. Each of the upwardly projecting members may also have one or more cylindrical polymer cushions thereupon. In the second embodiment, up to four surfboards may be accommodated on edge between the upwardly projecting members.

A rotary auger support for mounting and removably holding a articles or devices upright on the ground. The includes an upright rod with a helical coil comprising a rectangular or square cross section defining flights forming an auger base having a point at the lower distal end to be fixedly and removably screwed into the ground to support the in an upright position.

A rotary auger support stand for mounting and removably holding a articles or devices upright on the ground. The stand includes an upright rod with a helical coil or flights forming an auger base having a point at the lower distal end to be fixedly and removably screwed into the ground to support the stand in an upright position. The top end of the rod forming the stand body defines an S-shaped loop configured, sized and shaped and disposed at a selected angle to support an article thereon. The top adapter is capable of supporting a decorative element, sign, target, or other element. An S-shaped handle is formed integrally within the support shaft longitudinal member extending from the auger.

A securing device (10) for securing an article is disclosed. The securing device comprises a main shaft portion (14) and a securing portion (20) on the main shaft portion. The securing portion is a substantially helical elongate portion defining a central space (20A). Holding devices (312, 340), drive transmission devices (102, 202) and indicating devices (332) can be used with the securing device.
