Flex and torsion water sports board
20240262466 · 2024-08-08 ·

An improved water sports board, which is composed of a structural element at the base, an intermediate layer of deformable and waterproof elastic foam, in the upper area pressure plates, and inside structural columns. The structural element is light and has high resistance. Thickness of the structural element and their reinforcements can be modified and calibrated without restriction, achieving great flexion and torsion characteristics. The elastic middle layer allows to maintain the required volume and improves the dampening properties. The pressure plates receive the pressure of the surfer feet and transfer this pressure through the structural columns to the structural element. The intermediate elastic layer, pressure plates and structural columns do not affect board flexion or torsion

Automatic return system for a flotation device
10099753 · 2018-10-16 ·

A system for automatically returning a flotation device to a user when the user becomes separated from it and is greater than some predetermined distance away. The user may have a tracking device that is operable to determine its location and transmit this information to an automatic recovery unit coupled to the flotation device. The recovery unit may be configured to activate when it is greater than the predetermined distance from the tracking device, and may be operable to propel the flotation device steering it toward the tracking device to close the distance between them.

APPARATUS FOR GLIDING OVER A BODY OF FLOWING WATER
20180140959 · 2018-05-24 ·

The present invention relates to an apparatus for gliding over a body of flowing water, in particular for surfing, waterskiing, kiteboarding and/or wakeboarding, having a first buoyancy body. The apparatus is characterized by a second buoyancy body, which can be connected to the first buoyancy body by means of a cable, and by a pulley mechanism, which has the cable running through it and can be connected to a first stationary object, and therefore the first buoyancy body and the second buoyancy body, by means of the pulley mechanism with the cable running through it, can execute movements in substantially opposing directions on the body of flowing water.
