VARIABLE-ROCKER SURFBOARD
The present invention is a variable-rocker surfboard, comprising: a tapered composite panel enveloped partially or entirely in a soft foam. The tapered composite panel is oriented horizontally partially or entirely within the soft foam, such that the length, width, and thickness of the panel correspond with the length, width, and thickness of the soft foam. The objective of this design is to provide a surfboard with desirable flex characteristics that result in variable rocker, wherein the tapered composite core attributes the flex characteristics, and the soft foam provides volume for the desired buoyancy. The present invention may be provided as a surfboard blank, wherein the soft foam needs to be worked into a surfboard shape. The present invention, may also be provided as a surfboard, wherein the soft foam has been shaped to the desired design and may be laminated with an exterior skin.
MOTORIZED BOARD FOR USE ON WATER
A motorized board similar to a surf board is presented for use on a water surface. The motorized board includes a base board having a front end and a back end, a foot pedal on the base board, wherein the foot pedal is rotatable on the base board, and a motor coupled to the base board and connected to a propeller at the back end, the motor being controlled by the foot pedal. A user can stand on the board and turn the motor on with his foot, as well as control the speed with his foot to ride on a water surface with or without waves.
ROTATABLE AND STOWABLE FOIL SYSTEM AND METHOD
A foil assembly for a watercraft includes a base assembly, a fin rotatably connected to the base assembly such that the fin can rotate longitudinally, and a slider attachment configured to connect to a fin box of a watercraft wherein the base assembly is configured to be removably disposed within the slider attachment such that the base assembly and the fin can be removed and rotated laterally to a folded position and still be retained by the slider attachment to the fin box.
Light Up Surfboard
A wirelessly rechargeable light up LED battery operated configuration which is assembled into a base, being a surfboard or water apparatus, and being covered by waterproof materials, to create waterproof ability, and thus to be charged wirelessly.
Slidable surfboard fin
A sliding fin for a surfboard includes a base having a planar tab with an upper flange, a large fin piece having a first indentation, and a small fin piece for mating face-to-face with the large fin piece. The second fin piece has a second indentation that forms a channel that has a cross-sectional shape corresponding to a cross-sectional shape of the planar tab and upper flange, the channel being longer than the width of the planar tab, the small fin piece being translucent to enable the planar tab in the channel to be seen, the large and small fin pieces being slidable relative to the base on the planar tab.
Self-propelled craft
The present invention comprises a self-propelled craft with a U-shaped main body provided with two turbines, one on each flap of the U-shaped main body, which propel the self-propelled craft through turbine operation in a chamber fed by water received by water intakes which is ejected by the ejection openings, and which turbines move inside the turbine operation chamber adopting automatically one of two possible positions due to the casing which is placed in two different positions within the turbine operation chamber, which positioning results from the placement of the device on the water being done by side A or B, the water intake being done through existing water entrances on side A or B of the device.
Motorized watercraft system with interchangeable motor module
A personal watercraft body comprises a recess configured to receive similarly shaped cassettes. A first cassette may be motorized to propel the body relative to a body of water. A second cassette may be non-motorized and may include a storage space therein for storing personal items. An insert may be disposed between the cassettes and the recess to orient and fit the cassettes within the body.
Drive-N-glide surfboard (jet drive)
This new art offers an improvement to conventional surfboards as well as any previous motorized jet surfboards. This application includes an electric powered surfboard equipped with high volume jet drive units that power it forward and significantly improve a surfer's wave fielding and catching ability. Once a wave is caught the drive unit can be shut off by the surfer. Then instantly, two flush fitting glide doors close the jet tube intake openings allowing the surfboard's bottom to return to a planning surface with no protrusions, except for fins, and no water filled jet tubes left open to detract from the surfboard's critical gliding ability when surfing waves. Also, there's a crowned deck shape that allows thin rail sensitivity for turning performance and a motor battery arrangement that provides mass centralization of weight. All this, combined with several wireless control means define this new fine handling motorized surfboard.
Flexible Arch Mast and Sail
A mast system for use with a sailing vessel including a flexible mast connected to a first point of the sailing vessel; a tether connected to a second point of the sailing vessel, the tether being further connected to the flexible mast, wherein the lengths of the tether and the flexible mast are sized to pull the flexible mast into an arch.
BOARD-ATTACHABLE ACCESSORY BASE LOCK
A board-attachable accessory base lock has an accessory base lock-on that can removably attach to a paddleboard or similar craft. Once the base lock-on is attached, a storage repository can be removably attached to the base lock-on. The storage repository can comprise a cooler, waterproof box, a compartmented fishing box, a crate, a minnow bucket, a fishing live well, a seat, etc. The storage repository can have no top, a hingeably attached top, a removable top, a locking top, etc. The base lock-on can attach to the board via first and second lockdown bars. These bars are designed to fit universally into the hand slot that is commonly found on boards. Once the lockdown bars are situated in the hand slot, the user simply actuates the lockdown handle to secure the lockdown bars in place. Accessory bolts provide attachment of the various storage repositories to the accessory base lock-on.
