Carry system for personal watercraft is disclosed. In one example, the carry system is used to carry a personal watercraft overhead. In another example, the carry system is used as a seat for the rider of the personal watercraft.

One aspect of this disclosure is a sliding apparatus. In some aspects, the sliding apparatus may comprise an elongated body containing magnets. The elongated body may comprise a toe end, a tail end, a top surface, and a slide surface. In one aspect, the magnets may be located between the toe and tail ends of the elongated body, spaced apart from one another in the elongated body, and polarized to define top poles oriented toward the top surface of the elongated body and bottom poles oriented toward the slide surface of the elongated body. For example, the magnets may be arranged so the bottom poles have alternating polarities in a direction relative to the elongated body. Related apparatus and systems also are disclosed.

A stand-up paddleboard (SUP) may be configured with a non-retentive binding system to secure a user's foot positioning. In one example, the binding system may include pockets formed from panels extending continuously along edges of the paddleboard, and straps to provide tension on the pockets, to reduce a likelihood of undesired sliding of the user's feet. The pockets of the binding system may allow the user to reposition the user's feet to multiple secured footholds within the binding system, thereby allowing the user's stance and balance to be maintained.

A watercraft carrier includes a central hub having an upper surface configured to receive a watercraft, an upright rotatably coupled to the central hub and configured to be disposed in a plurality of positions, and a locking assembly coupling the upright with the central hub and configured to secure the upright in the plurality of positions. The locking assembly is disposed below the upper surface of the central hub. A portion of the upright is disposed above the upper surface of the central hub in a first position and the upright is disposed below the upper surface of the central hub in a second position.

A beach wagon for transporting water sport boards and smaller objects. The wagon includes a front wall and the rear wall extending vertically from a floor and engaged to side walls; the wagon is carried on a plurality of wheels. The front wall and the rear wall each include a retaining slot. The retaining slots are in substantial alignment to hold a water sport board in the retaining slots spanning between the front wall and the rear wall. The walls of the wagon retain the smaller objects in the wagon. The slotted front and rear walls can be configured to retrofit existing wagons.

A safety supporting frame device includes a first frame having first and second connecting portions. A second frame includes third and fourth connecting portions and is pivotable relative to the first frame between a folded position and an extended position. When the second frame is in the folded position, the third connecting portion is adjacent to the first connecting portion, and the fourth connecting portion is adjacent to the second connecting portion. When the second frame is in the extended position, the third connecting portion is distant to the first connecting portion, and the fourth connecting portion is distant to the second connecting portion. A first strap is fixed to the first and fourth connecting portions. A second strap is fixed to the second and third connecting portions. When the second frame is in the extended position, the first and second straps extend across and overlap each other.

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.

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.
