A fin for use on a surfboard, the fin comprising: a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a base, the base comprising at least one mount for mounting the fin onto a surfboard; a first and a second outer fin surface which meet along the leading edge and the trailing edge and abut the base; and a first ridge protruding laterally from the first outer fin surface, and/or a second ridge protruding laterally from the second outer fin surface; wherein the shape and configuration of the fin creates an area of lower water pressure around and in front of the fin, as well as disrupting and/or reducing the size of trailing vortices, resulting in additional forward thrust for the board on which the fin is mounted.

A swiveling seat insert for kayaks allows a kayak user to physically turn their entire body while sitting in a kayak in order to gain a more advantageous body position for performing activities while using the kayak or for increased range of viewing angles.

The invention relates to a kayak comprising a light and stylish hull with a propeller mounted on the underside thereof, said propeller being actuatable by means of pedals mounted in front of and above a seat, the pedals and propeller being connected by means of a transmission that passes through the inside of the hull and below the surface thereof. Two rudders are arranged at the rear.

A watercraft includes a hull, an opening extending through the hull, the opening configured to receive a removable propulsion mechanism, and an insert removably insertable into the opening. The insert includes an inner cavity, an aperture configured to be at least partially submerged in a fluid when the watercraft is positioned on the fluid, the aperture being configured to provide fluid communication between the inner cavity of the insert and the fluid as the watercraft travels in a forward direction, and a surface shaped and dimensioned such that a first pressure within the inner cavity is greater than a second pressure at the aperture as the watercraft travels in the forward direction.

A device and method for temporarily attach a tool, such as a paddle or a fluid container, to a floatation watercraft, wherein the device is partially covered by a user's gear, such as a kayak skirt. The user's gear preferably includes an elastic edge element that slips under a lip of a cockpit or hatch of the watercraft wherein the invented is positioned between the lip and the elastic edge element while coupled with one or more tools. The device extends beyond both the watercraft lip and the user's gear whereby the tool may be supported distally from the watercraft lip.

An accessory mounting track provides quick and easy removable attachment and positioning of various devices. The method of attachment of devices to the accessory mounting track may be compatible with the attachment of these devices to other mounting systems, allowing the accessory mounting track to be used interchangeably with those systems.

The invention relates to a watercraft, particularly a kayak having a battery compartment and motor mount for mounting a motor thereto. The kayak can be propelled either by a motor mounted to the motor mount or by manual paddling by a user of the kayak. The kayak may additionally have a seat mounted onto a track to allow the user to adjust their position as needed in the kayak. The kayak is extra wide to provide stability, while chamfered side walls allow the user to paddle with comfort regardless of the extra width. The kayak may optionally have wheels mounted thereon to facilitate handling and transport by the user.
