An inflatable water sports board rack includes an inflatable tube comprising multiple paired inflatable uprights with gaps between the uprights configured to receive at least one water sports board there between; wherein the inflatable tube comprises an inflation valve for inflating the inflatable water sports board rack. A modular inflatable docking system as a kit of parts includes an inflatable water sports board rack as a pair of single inflatable retainers and at least one of: a floatable or inflatable platform to be coupled thereto.

A storage device is configured to hold one or more sports boards. The storage device has a mechanism that transitions the device between a clamped and unclamped state upon actuation of a an actuation device. A user can actuate an actuator from a first position towards the device to a second position to transition the device from the clamped to the unclamped state.

A bungee loop retention assembly includes a housing, bungee channels, and a hold. The housing includes a first end and a second end. The bungee channels are disposed in the housing and extend from the first end to the second end. The hold is positioned at least partially in the housing and includes an external portion and retainers configured to interfere with a portion of a bungee retained in the bungee channel. The external portion has a central section between sleeves that define openings sized to surround portions of the bungee. The hold translates from a first position in which the retainers squeeze the bungee against a channel surface to a second position in which the retainers are separated from the bungee. In the first position, the bungee is bound to the openings and to the housing such that an intra-mechanism force pulls the hold against the housing.

The present invention provides a watersports board rack for attaching to a support member (e.g., hanging down from an overhead support tower) of a boat. The rack may have a low profile, superior padding and an increased contact area compared to current rack systems, as well as at least one strap for securing the board against the padding and a coupler for attaching to the overhead support member. The rack may thus be operable to securely hold up to two watersports boards (e.g., two wakesurf boards) without the usual wear and tear (e.g., dents and scrapes) that occurs from regular contact with the tines of current rack systems. The rack may thus increase the boat's capacity to securely store watersports boards while the boat is in motion, and due to the low profile, the rack will not substantially reduce headroom or require removal from a folding tower before folding the tower down for transporting and storing the boat.
