A portable floating board device for various water activities such as swimming, diving, fishing, and emergency use. The floating board device includes a secure platform to sit or stand. The board includes an anchor system and storage system. The board may be carried by handles or by straps attached to the bottom side of the board for easy portable.

A multi-purpose utility pack is provided for carrying an object at an approximately 45 degree angle. The multi-purpose utility pack comprises a main body having at least a main compartment, a top portion, a bottom portion, a right portion, a left portion, an outside face and an inside face. The pack includes four strap mounts each including a fastening device, a releasable attachment flap having four strap mounts each including a fastening device for attaching the attachment flap to the main body of the pack. The attachment flap also includes a secondary strap fixedly attached to the attachment flap used to support the object being carried near the object's base.

An inflatable carrying device of watercraft by a single human carrier comprising one or more inflatables having a shape to enable it to be secured to one or both shoulders of the carrier, and a shear and tensile strength to support at least in part the watercraft. Various embodiments of the inflatables include an incurvate side about 240-300 degrees to secure to the shoulders, a length extending at least transversely across the seating area of the watercraft, a length about the width of one shoulder of the carrier, and a height to provide forward visibility for the carrier to avoid obstacles. The device makes possible single human transport of watercraft which lack a design structure for solo transport such as a kayak having a cockpit and a sit-on-top kayak.

A transport device, in particular for transporting luggage, includes a support structure, a coupling element or a handle and a rolling body in addition to a transport container for receiving objects, in particular luggage. The rolling body has a rotational symmetry and is configured such that it tapers in diameter towards the ends along the axis of symmetry. Because of the arrangement and design of the transport container, the transport device is self-stabilizing in operative use.

There is provided herein a pool float tether device. The device can have two identical rectangular straps each having a longitudinal length, two opposing strap surfaces and two opposing longitudinal strap ends. Each strap can have two hook or loop fastener portions, one on each strap surface and which are at opposing strap ends. The hook or loop fastener portions are capable of making a releasable connection therebetween in order to form a loop having an interior loop surface and an exterior loop surface. The two rectangular straps are also permanently bound together at a bonding location; and the straps can each have a buckle connector located on the exterior loop surface of each strap. There is also provided a method of tethering together pool floats which can entail providing two pool floats; making the releasable connection with the opposing hook and loop fasteners of one strap around both of the pool floats to provide a first set of tethered pool floats, tethering two other pool floats together using a second tethering device which is identical with the first tethering device to provide a second set of tether pool floats; and, connecting a buckle connector of the first set of tether pool floats with the corresponding buckle connector on the second set of tethered pool floats.
