A swimming board having a buoyant board body having an upper surface defining, with a continuous body sidewall, a channel recessed into the board body and disposed proximal to the second end of the board body and having a strap fastening assembly coupled to the board body and with a groin strap and a waist strap that define apertures for receiving a user's legs and retaining the user to the board body.

The present invention is a sports board assembly with a wrist/ankle tether that can be converted into one or more shoulder straps. A first connector is anchored to the sports board along a center line. A second connector is anchored to the sports board offset from the center line. A tethering system is joined to the first connector and can be selectively connected to the second connector. When the tethering system and the second connector are interconnected, the tethering system forms a shoulder strap that extends from the first connector to the second connector. The shoulder strap can be used to carry the sports board. A third connector can also be used on the sports board. The tethering system can connect the first connector, to the second connect, to the third connector and back to the first connector to form a set of shoulder straps from the tethering system.

A lightweight, ultra-strong leash for water sports is disclosed. The utility model relates to a tether, herein called a “leash,” for attaching a person to a canoe, kayak, foil, paddleboard, surfboard, surfski or similar watercraft. The leash allows a person to maintain connection to the watercraft in case of temporary separation such as from capsizing or falling. The leash comprises a resilient rope, rope swivels, hardware, and an adjustable cuff or belt. The leash attaches at one end to the watercraft and at the other end to the cuff or belt, which is worn by the sporting person. The full assembly is compact and features two mechanisms for optional quick-connect or quick-disconnect. The leash has equivalent strength to wire strand steel but is extremely lightweight. The materials' resistances to UV degradation and water and salt water deterioration uniquely boost the full assembly's overall strength and integrity initially and over time.

A tension device for securing a floating structure includes an elastic member, first and second end members, and an inelastic member. The elastic member is stretchable under tension from an unstretched length to a stretched length. The first and second end members are carried at first and second ends of the elastic member, respectively. The inelastic member is secured to the first and second end member and limits the stretched length of the elastic member. First and second restrictive apertures are limited in diameter by first and second sewn portions of the inelastic member, respectively. The first and second restrictive apertures prevent separation between the inelastic member and the first and second ends of the elastic member, when the tension device is loaded in tension.

Generally disclosed is a surf leash with a tourniquet device that allows the cord of the surf leash to be convertible into a tourniquet and related methods of use.

The swivel lock quick release device is adapted to selectively attach a user to a sports equipment. The sports equipment may be watersports equipment, such as a surfboard, a kite surfing apparatus, a stand-up paddle board, sailing equipment, a wake board, etc., or land sports equipment, such as fishing, camping, climbing, animal collars or leashes, tactical rifle apparatus, and hunting equipment. The swivel lock quick release device having a pull release and a protrusion, the pull release and the protrusion being adapted to be selectively engaged in a locked position is provided. A slide handle, a portion of the pull release, is adapted to be selectively moved in a coaxial direction by the user to disengage the pull release and the protrusion. The pull release is also adapted to rotate around, or swivel, the protrusion.
