A seat made of drop stitch material has a back panel, a bottom panel, and a support panel, where the back and bottom panels are adjustably and detachably connected to each other at a substantially orthogonal orientation, and the support portion tilts or reclines the seat into a recumbent position which is advantageous for paddling while sitting on the upper surface of a watercraft.

An inflatable standup paddleboard having a split deck pad. The split deck pad may allow for easier storage and greater customization options for the inflatable standup paddleboard. The split deck pad may also be removable from the body of the standup paddleboard through integral grooves within the body of the inflatable standup paddleboard. The structural integrity and buoyancy may be further improved with a crisscrossed structure of strings within the interior of the inflatable standup paddleboard.

According to certain embodiments, a method performed by a network node comprises transmitting a transmission of system information. The transmission comprises coded bins obtained by reading from a circular buffer. The transmission is transmitted in a first set of subframes corresponding to subframes #4 of a plurality of radio frames. The method further comprises transmitting an additional transmission of the system information. The additional transmission comprises additional coded bits obtained by continuing reading from the circular buffer. The additional transmission is transmitted in a second set of subframes corresponding to subframes of the plurality of radio frames other than subframes #4.

A watercraft drinking vessel holder and method for retaining a drinking vessel on a watercraft is configured to contain a can, cup, or water bottle for easy access during paddle boarding. The vessel holder attaches to a flat watercraft through multiple crisscrossing stretch cords that pass through elongated slots forming through the longitudinal of the vessel holder. The crisscrossing stretches cords retain the vessel holder substantially upright on the watercraft. The vessel holder has a flat base designed to sit flush against the surface of watercraft. A sidewall projects upwardly from the base. The sidewall receives drinking vessel, and substantially encapsulates drinking vessel. The sidewall defines multiple slots extending along the longitudinal in a spaced-apart, parallel relationship. The slots enable passage of elastic cords that crisscross therethrough. The cords are pulled down towards the base end of the sidewalls to firmly secure the vessel holder to the watercraft.

A sports board formed of expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam and a method for making the sports board using a steam-chest molding process includes molding the sports board to finished shape, such that no post-molding processing of the board is required, and such that the sports board is of monolithic construction and fully recyclable. The molding process is configured to form a continuous exterior skin of the board, to resist water ingression, the exterior skin including one or more purchase surface areas, each purchase surface area including a plurality of protrusion clusters, each protrusion cluster formed by controlled extrusion of the EPP foam into steam vents distributed in a predefined pattern within the mold cavity to form steam vent markings. The molding process is configured such that selected areas of the board surface are contoured for undisrupted water flow over the board and to resist breakage or chipping in use.

The present disclosure generally pertains to a lateral displacement surf system and methods of laterally displacing a watercraft to generate wake. The lateral displacement system includes at least one pair of foils configured to be extended from a hull on a first side of the watercraft at a level of approximately the waterline. Upon forward movement of the watercraft with extended foils, the watercraft is rotated about its vertical axis toward the first side and generates waves sufficient for the conduction watersport activities on a second side of the watercraft. In some instances, foils are built into the hull and extended from this position, while in other instances the foils are attached to the hull using attachment structures. Rotation of the foils about an axis of rotation approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the watercraft alters the angle of attack of the foils relative to the waterline.
