An apparatus (100), including: a lower support structure (102) configured to support a bottom side of a board disposed thereon, wherein the board can be any one of a variety of various sized boards; and an adjustable clamp head (104) including a resilient structure (122) that defines a recess (124) configured to capture therein a top side of the board and thereby hold the board between the clamp head and the lower support structure when the clamp head is lowered onto the top side of the board. The resilient structure is configured to narrow the recess when the clamp head is lowered against a resilience of the resilient structure onto a relatively thin board sized to contact the resilient structure at an apex (130) of the recess without fully filling an opening (132) of the recess.

The present invention relates to a water vessel transport rack device primarily comprised of a frame that is further comprised of a front primary frame end, a rear primary frame end, a front secondary frame end and a rear secondary frame end. The front primary frame end and the rear primary frame end are identical in structure. Further, the front secondary frame end and the rear secondary frame end are identical in structure. The primary and secondary frame ends connect to one another, such that they form a plurality of surfaces that can be used to store a plurality of water vessels. Further, the device can be easily placed and secured within the bed of a pickup truck to allow a user to transport multiple water vessels while only using a single pickup.

A stand for sport boards that includes two foldable legs, an upper member with notches for supporting the boards, and a base that contains a drawer for storing the legs and the upper member. Each leg includes two parallel lower plates and an upper plate axially connected to the lower plates by a hinge so that the upper plate is positioned between the lower plates. The top parts of the lowers plates include a back grooves and the lower part of the upper plate has a matched back grooves, enabling to lock the leg in an open position by a piece that is inserted into the grooves. The bottom parts of the lower plates have L-shaped connectors that match L-shaped tunnels in the base. Top parts of the upper plates have front groves that match back groves in the back corners of the upper member.

A water sports equipment storage rack including at least one U-shaped support, a claw, a drive mechanism, and a biasing member. The claw is (i) configured to move in an outward direction and in an inward direction and (ii) rotatable about a pivot axis between an open position and a closed position. The drive mechanism is configured to linearly move the claw in the outward direction and the inward direction. The biasing member is configured to (i) impart a biasing force to rotate the claw about the pivot axis in a direction toward the closed position and (ii) reduce the biasing force as the claw approaches the end of its linear travel, allowing the claw to move to the open position.

A method for storing a watercraft above a surface portion is disclosed. The method includes permanently attaching a first base member to the surface portion at a first location, permanently attaching a second base member to the surface portion at a second location that is spaced at a distance from the first location, removably attaching a first support assembly to the first base member, and removably attaching a second support assembly to the second base member. The distance is less than a length of the watercraft.

A system for creating additional storage on a marine vehicle is provided. The system of the present disclosure is generally designed to secure to a marine vehicle via a rod holder, wherein parallel bars provide additional storage area for marine equipment, such as innertubes. To this end, the system of the present disclosure may comprise supports and support braces. Straps may be used to attach the marine equipment to the supports. To ensure that the supports are properly secured within the rod holders, a sleeve may be used to increase friction and change size. Board arms may be attached to the supports in order to increase storage area.

A motorized water sports equipment rack and method for motorized swiveling of a water sports equipment rack attached to a boat are disclosed. The motorized water sports equipment rack includes a mounting bracket for securing the mounting bracket to the boat and a water sports rack mounting bolt connected to the mounting bracket. A swivel bracket is connected to the water sports rack mounting bolt. A water sports equipment rack mount is connected to the swivel bracket. The water sports equipment rack mount supports a water sports equipment rack adapted for holding various types of water sporting equipment. A sealed actuator housing is connected to the swivel bracket and houses an actuator, such as an electric, pneumatic or hydraulic actuator. The actuator is configured to drive the swivel bracket to rotate the water sports equipment rack.
