A paddle board safety device can include a paddle board safety box having a body configured to hold at least one personal safety-related device, a lid configured to establish an open position and a closed position, a connecting portion configured to connect the lid to the body, at least one locking mechanism configured to maintain the closed position, and at least one coupling portion. The safety device can also include a paddle board safety box sleeve configured to receive the paddle board safety box, the paddle board safety box sleeve including at least one coupling portion configured to interact with the at least one coupling portion of the paddle board safety box to position and secure the paddle board safety box within the paddle board safety box sleeve.

Use: in building of light, predominantly individual sports and tourist floating craft. Essence of the invention: the display on the surface of the swimming board or surfboard broadcasts the information received both from video cameras located either on the surface of the floating craft or on the supports or pulled in tow under the water, and from external mobile and other devices. The display is configured to stabilize the displayed image and compensate effects caused by water refraction coefficient, and has the ability of creating animated graphic marks and tips to facilitate user's balancing on the floating craft.

A water riding apparatus is provided for moving along the surface of water in cross-country skier type fashion. The water riding apparatus includes a first pontoon having an elongate hull and a second pontoon having an elongate hull. The first and second elongate hulls are connected together for relative parallel longitudinal motion by a gliding mechanism affixed to inner sides of the first and second elongate hollow hulls. The first and second elongate hulls include foot well openings allowing the user to stand on the bottoms of the hulls at a location below the water line of the hulls. The water riding apparatus further includes a personal stabilizer system for supporting a user in a standing position. The first and second elongate hulls can be locked in a parallel, transversely aligned relationship to allow alternative use of the water riding apparatus in a sitting, kayak-type fashion.

The present disclosure provides apparatus and methods that improves the speed, functionality, and safety of wakeboat ballasting operations. A ballasting apparatus for wakeboats is provided, comprising a wakeboat with a hull and an engine; a hydraulic pump, mechanically driven by the engine; a hydraulic motor, powered by the hydraulic pump; a ballast compartment; and a ballast pump, powered by the hydraulic motor. A ballasting apparatus for wakeboats is provided, comprising a wakeboat with a hull and an engine; a ballast compartment; and a hydraulic ballast pump, the ballast pump configured to be powered by the engine, the ballast outlet and/or inlet of the ballast pump connected to the ballast compartment, the ballast pump configured to pump ballast in and/or out of the ballast compartment. A ballast pump priming system for wakeboats is provided, comprising a wakeboat with a hull and an engine; a ballast pump on the wakeboat; a fitting on the ballast pump which permits water to be introduced into the housing of the ballast pump; and a source of pressurized water, the pressurized water being fluidly connected to the fitting, the pressurized water thus flowing into the housing of the ballast pump.

A compact water ski having a top surface, a bottom surface and a rocker with an overall length of less than 36 inches and a means to secure a foot to the top surface. The ski can be with or without a fin. The bottom surface of the water ski can be decorated with strakes and/or channels to allow for greater maneuverability and stability.

The present invention provides a kind of sports equipment, particularly sports equipment for water sport or snow sport, comprising a main body made of light rigid material and having at least one built-in framework that is harder than the main body. The sports equipment further comprises a deck fixed on the top surface of the main body and configured to be harder than the main body. Compared with prior sport equipment, the equipment of the invention has the advantages such as light weight, durability, collision resistance and easy handling.

The present disclosure provides a platform system for a boat, including a wake tow tower, a platform supported on the wake tow tower, a safety rail above the platform, and a stabilizing fin supported at least partially below a waterline adjacent a major side of the hull to resist uncontrolled movement of the boat during usage of the platform by a person.

The present disclosure relates to a binding equipment for binding a hard-shell boot comprising a profiled bottom surface to a ski, the ski comprising a bottom surface to be directed towards a gliding element and a top surface to be directed towards the boot, wherein the binding equipment is configured to adapt the top surface of the ski to the profiled bottom surface of the boot.

A spring-loaded wakeboard booster has a vertical swivel connection to the towing tower of a motorboat at its proximal end. The swivel connection rotatably supports a cylindrical piston spring assembly, which has a tow rope connection shaft at its proximal end, through which the piston spring assembly is connected by a tow line extending to the wakeboard. When the wakeboard is being towed, the force on the tow line draws the piston toward the proximal end of the piston spring assembly, thereby compressing the spring. When the wakeboard reaches the crest of the boat's wake, the water resistance drops and the spring expands, drawing the board forward and over the wake.

The present disclosure provides a platform system for a boat, including a wake tow tower, a platform supported on the wake tow tower, a safety rail above the platform, and a stabilizing fin supported at least partially below a waterline adjacent a major side of the hull to resist uncontrolled movement of the boat during usage of the platform by a person.
