A device for carrying a surfboard, similar sporting equipment or other objects. One embodiment is comprised of webbing material with fixed loop 24 having a buckle 22 that slides along the fixed loop 24 and a strap element 20 that in combination with the buckle 22 creates a secondary adjustable loop. The secondary adjustable loop is used to hold a surfboard or other object securely in place and the fixed loop 24 supports the surfboard from one of the user's shoulder allowing hands free operation. When not utilized as a carrier the device can be worn, such as a belt. The user keeps the fixed loop 24 compressed together, wraps the carrier around his/her waist, through the buckle 22 and then attaches it back onto itself.

A personal flotation device can be attached to the strap element so that the carrier and personal flotation device form a single unit.

A board carrier uses a belt configured for wearing around a person's waist. A hook bag in the belt has a downwardly facing entry with a closure. Proximal and distal ends of the hook are joined to the belt by length adjustable straps. The board is positioned within the hook with three-points of mutual contact between the board and the interior of the hook. The hook may have a spring clamp for securing a paddle. When not in use the hook and straps are placed within the hook bag.

A protective case for large objects including a lock housing formed from a first section and a second section, both of the sections including at least one external subsection and at least one internal subsection configured to telescope inside the external subsection; and an extension lock comprising a lock housing and a compression lock, the lock housing including a screw-threaded channel, and the compression comprising at least one screw-threaded shaft with a compressive component on the interior end and a lock handle on the exterior end, the screw-threaded shaft configured to matingly engage with the screw-threaded channel of the lock housing; the compression lock configured to descend in the lock housing and compressingly lock the internal subsection in an extended position upon locking rotation of the compression lock; and the compression lock configure to ascend in the lock housing upon unlocking rotation of the cam latch.

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.

An adjustable bag for sports equipment includes a plurality of laterally extending folding regions provided on a first area of a surface of the bag adjacent one end A reinforcing panel is provided between each adjacent pair of folding regions such that the bag is more flexible at the folding regions and folds preferentially there.

An inflatable standup paddleboard having a split deck pad. The split deck pad may allow for easier storage and greater customization options for the inflatable standup paddleboard. The split deck pad may also be removable from the body of the standup paddleboard through integral grooves within the body of the inflatable standup paddleboard. The structural integrity and buoyancy may be further improved with a crisscrossed structure of strings within the interior of the inflatable standup paddleboard.

The invention relates to a cover or case for goods, in particular for use as a cover or case for hobby or sports equipment. In an embodiment, the case has an inner portion, formed of expanded polypropylene (ePP) and defining a cavity for receiving at least part of the item. The case also includes an outer layer, formed of self-reinforcing polypropylene (srPP), arranged to cover an outer surface of at least part of the inner portion. In further embodiments, the cover is formed of two or more sections that may be arranged to at least partially overlap, wherein adjusting the overlap of the at least two sections changes the dimensions of an inner cavity within the cover or case. The case may be telescoping, in order to provide adjustable dimensions for a cavity within the case.
