A foam product includes a foam core, a soft skin covering the foam core, and a base structure on which the foam core is disposed. The foam core of expanded beads has an outer surface on which some outermost beads of the expanded beads are exposed and bulging outward with different heights to form a bubbly texture. The foam skin has an inner surface attached to the outer surface of the foam core, and has at its inner surface a plurality of concave cavities each matedly surrounding a respective one of the bulging, outermost beads on the outer surface of the foam core.

In some implementations, a stand up paddleboard (SUP) transportation apparatus to facilitate transportation of a SUP to and from a shoreline comprises a sled material and an adjustable attachment mechanism to temporarily attach the sled material to the SUP. The sled material has a top surface for supporting the SUP and a bottom surface for dragging over a ground surface, a longitudinal axis passing between a front end and a back end, and a latitudinal axis passing between a left side and a right side, wherein the longitudinal axis spans at least a portion of a length of the SUP and the latitudinal axis spans at least a width of the portion of the length of the SUP being supported. The adjustable attachment mechanism is able to join together to adjustably secure the sled material to the SUP and able to detach to release the sled material from the SUP.

The invention relates to a cover or case for goods, in particular for use as a cover or case for hobby or sports equipment. In an embodiment, the case has an inner portion, formed of expanded polypropylene (ePP) and defining a cavity for receiving at least part of the item. The case also includes an outer layer, formed of self-reinforcing polypropylene (srPP), arranged to cover an outer surface of at least part of the inner portion. In further embodiments, the cover is formed of two or more sections that may be arranged to at least partially overlap, wherein adjusting the overlap of the at least two sections changes the dimensions of an inner cavity within the cover or case. The case may be telescoping, in order to provide adjustable dimensions for a cavity within the case.

The invention relates to a fiber reinforced structural component, which may be used in a surfboard for stand-up paddling, wave riding, wind surfing and the like, comprising a body made of plastic, wherein the body is delimited by a surface, to which a laminate layer made of a fiber mat and a matrix is undetachably connected. The surface has at least one circumferential groove-shaped recess, by means of which a predetermined partial area of the surface is delimited.

A collapsible protective case for surfboards having a rigid, impact-resistant outer surface, the case including a housing and a plurality of adjoining nested sections that are selectively configurable between a collapsed, fully nested position and an extended position, the housing and including a space configured to accommodate, in the extended position, fins disposed on a rear portion of the surfboard.

A protective case for large objects including a lock housing formed from a first section and a second section, both of the sections including at least one external subsection and at least one internal subsection configured to telescope inside the external subsection; and an extension lock comprising a lock housing and a compression lock, the lock housing including a screw-threaded channel, and the compression comprising at least one screw-threaded shaft with a compressive component on the interior end and a lock handle on the exterior end, the screw-threaded shaft configured to matingly engage with the screw-threaded channel of the lock housing; the compression lock configured to descend in the lock housing and compressingly lock the internal subsection in an extended position upon locking rotation of the compression lock; and the compression lock configure to ascend in the lock housing upon unlocking rotation of the cam latch.
