The present invention is directed to an inflatable and floatable modular platform system. The inflatable platform system of the present disclosure includes floating elements of differing nesting shapes and sizes configured to be interconnected in order to allow users to stand, sit, and walk between floating elements. Embodiments include inflatable platforms having circular, arc-shaped, rectangular, and L-shaped inflatable platforms.

A securing mechanism suitable for attachment to an inflatable structure for securing a upright supporting stand , comprising: a first securing section, having a first support region for positioning adjacent to the top surface of the structure, a second support region for positioning adjacent to the bottom surface of the structure, a central support joining said first and second regions, a second securing section, connected to said first securing section and extending in an opposite direction, having a first support region, a central region and a second support region, wherein said second securing section is for positioning adjacent to a second inflatable structure; a central fixing area having top and bottom sides, connected on the bottom side proximate to a first region of at least one of said first and second securing sections, wherein part of said central fixing area can be affixed to a stand for supporting an upright.

The present invention relates to a baby float. The multi-functional baby float comprises a float body and a buoyant tail for increasing the buoyancy of the back; the buoyant tail is detachably connected with the end of the float body; and the back of a head of the float body is provided with an elevating mechanism for raising the head of the float body. The elevating mechanism comprises an inflatable airbag or a connecting structure. The connecting structure comprises some rows of female buckles; the buoyant tail is provided with son buckles; and the buoyant tail is fixedly connected with the float body through the matching of the son buckles and the female buckles. The present invention has the characteristics that the back buoyancy can be increased to prevent roll-back, the buoyant tail can be detached and installed below a headrest.

A body board or boogie board has an elongated flotation body with raised side features or a raised skirt that wraps around the front portion and portions of both sides of the elongated flotation body and protrudes upward to cradle or support a user in a recumbent position while riding waves. The body board or boogie board also has a grab-bar for manipulating the body board or boogie board while riding waves and can include one or more attachment features for securing one or more accessories to the body board or boogie board.

A flotation device comprises a flotation device body structured to float on a water body. The flotation device body is substantially flat, has a first surface configured to contact, and float on the water body and a second surface opposite the first surface, the second surface configured to allow a user to stand or sit thereon. A receptacle is coupled to the first surface and extends away therefrom. An opening is defined through the flotation device body to allow the user to access the receptacle from the second surface.

Manually propelled water skis support a person skiing on water. The water ski includes a base having a binding on an upper surface and propulsion structures on the bottom surface. The propulsion structures include a rearward facing and vertical propulsion surface and a forward facing and sloped surface such that drag is greater when the water ski is moved rearwardly. The propulsion surface may be arcuate, V-shape, U-shaped, or other shaped in a horizontal plane and may also be concave in a vertical plane. Buoyancy structures may be secured to the upper surface of the base forward and rearward of the binding. Water ski poles including elliptical floats at the bottom ends may be used to provide a synergistic increase in waterskiing speed. Straps on the base near the binding may be used to secure the water ski poles to the base in order to form an outrigger.
