The present invention relates to a traction device using a drone and, more specifically, to a traction device using a drone, the device being capable of towing, along the progressing direction of a drone and by the thrust of the drone, an operator operating a drone and a carrier on which the operator rides. The traction device using a drone, of the present invention, can be applied to a moving means and leisure activities by allowing a user operating a drone to move in a flying direction of the drone, thereby enabling utilization of the drone to increase. In addition, the traction device using a drone of the present invention has an ascending and descending operation unit and a forward and backward operation unit, which are respectively formed as a rotational type, such as that of a knob dial, so as to facilitate maintenance of a constant altitude and a constant speed of the drone.

A water mat assembly having selectively attachable modular panels is disclosed. The water mat comprises a buoyant solid core insert that is inserted into a sleeve made of fabric. The sleeve may be couple to other sleeves to form an assembly of floating panels. The end panels may have grommeted ports for tethering the mat assembly to a dock or water vehicle.

A mat and apparatus for rolling the mat adapted to be releasably affixed to a vehicle whereby the mat may be unrolled for use and easily rolled up for storage from within the vehicle and removed from the vehicle for additional uses. The mat and apparatus for rolling the mat is attachable to the back of the vehicle or a side thereof as desired.

This application describes a handlebar and handlebar end assembly for effectively locking a handlebar end to a handlebar without the use of tools or instruments. The handlebar and handlebar end assembly according to an embodiment comprises a knob, threaded stud, non-threaded expansion retaining block, threaded expansion retaining block and handlebar. According to another embodiment, a wakeboard/water sports binding/boot attachment system for more securely attaching a wakeboard/water sports binding/boot to the ski/board is disclosed herein.

A support structure for mounting an accessory assembly to a vehicle having a mounting surface defining a base mount and at least one brace mount includes a base having a connection portion being selectively connectable to the vehicle, and a support portion. The base is connectable to the accessory assembly. The support structure further includes a brace having a mating portion for engaging the support portion, and at least one arm extending from the mating portion toward the connection portion and away from the base when the mating portion engages the support portion. The at least one arm has a proximal end connected to the mating portion, and a distal end being spaced from the connection portion and being selectively engageable to the vehicle. The support structure further includes a lock selectively locking the mating portion to the base.

A water sport training device is disclosed comprising, in one embodiment, a raft having a distal nose portion and a proximal rear portion. The rear portion provides a pair of substantially spaced apart lateral pontoons and a first web spanning the space therebetween. A relatively rigid platform is positionable within the raft, substantially adjacent the first web. A buoyant seat portion is positioned substantially on a back half of the device between the pontoons and adjacent the platform. A tow rope attachment means is secured to the raft for selectively towing the device over a body of water. The device is configured such that a back half of the device has a center buoyancy sufficient for providing a stable surface to support the weight of a person while floating on water both at standstill and as being pulled through the water as by a boat.

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.

A cockpit assembly for providing enhanced traction and stability for an inflatable material is disclosed. The cockpit assembly includes a cavity defined partially by the inflatable material, a support structure suspended within the cavity, and a cover material configured to cover the cavity. The inflatable material defines portion of side walls of the cavity. The support structure may be configured to be free of any contact with a bottom surface of the cavity and the cover material in a relaxed state.

A towable watercraft including a body member capable of accommodating a rider's torso such that the rider's legs extend beyond an aft portion of the body member is disclosed. A tail portion extending from the aft portion of the body member includes two foot-accommodating stirrups spaced apart from each other and spaced apart from the rearward portion of the body member. Under tow and in flight, the watercraft is controllable by configuration of the tail portion upon movement of the rider's legs when the riders' feet are disposed in the stirrups.
