11214336 · 2022-01-04 · ·

The invention discloses a rotational leash plug system for surf boards including an outer ring housing, a spherical or cylindrical element, in particular a ball or a cylinder, a stainless steel or brass pin attached to the rolling element and a bottom cap. A safety surf leash is attached to the pin centered in the ball to achieve a safety connection between surfer, in particular attached to the leg of the surfer, and a surfboard. The rotational element is free to rotate in x, y, and z axis inside the outer ring housing and the bottom cap. The spherical element is able to follow the force vector of the leash pulling the pin. The surf plug system can therefore follow the movement of the safety surf leash and or the surfer attached to the leash as soon as there is a pull force applied to the pin inside the surf plug system.

11279450 · 2022-03-22 ·

Embodiments are disclosed of a standup paddle (SUP) board comprising a substantially rectangular shape in outline and having a length dimension that is a whole number multiple of its width dimension. A plurality of link members are disposed at spaced-apart locations along the periphery of the board's deck. Each link member can function, in a first configuration, as a handle for the board; and, in a second configuration, as a linkup for connecting the board in abutting relation to one or more other adjacently located, similarly configured standup paddle boards. With a plurality of such boards connected proximate one another in a desired configuration via such links, an extended upper surface is provided that can serve as a substantially stable platform upon which one or more persons can engage in desired activities.
