A resistance water board paddling system includes a board attachment unit having functionality for engaging a water board such as a surfboard, a paddleboard or a kayak. At least one elongated resistance band is removably connected to the board attachment unit, and includes a predetermined resistance level for simulating the resistance encountered by a user paddling a board along a water surface. An anchor assembly having an inelastic tether is coupled to the other end of the at least one resistance band. A ground anchor is selectively and removably attached to the other end of the inelastic tether or a skimmer attachment device is selectively and removably attached to the other end of the inelastic tether. The anchor assembly functioning to immobilize the system during user operation.

The present invention relates to a nun-chuck-like kayaking mobility tool that enables easy maneuverability and repositioning of a kayak while obviating damage to a blade of a paddle or oar. The kayaking mobility tool includes a nun-chuck-like appearance, and includes a pair of shafts connected through a connecting cord. The shafts can be used for pushing off rocks, obstructions, the riverbed and other impediments in the kayaking path. The shafts and associated handles enable the kayaker to place the shafts on an underwater obstruction for turning the kayak in a desired direction while sitting in the kayak. The handles can include grips for comfortable holding of the shafts by the kayaker. The shafts can include caps at the respective bottom ends for secure gripping on the riverbed or obstruction. The mobility tool obviates the use of paddles/oars for pushing away from obstructions in order to reposition the kayak.

A self-propelling watercraft system is provided. The watercraft has a base with a plurality of sidewalls extending from the base to form a cockpit. The base also has a recess, where a pump can detachably connect to the hull within the recess. The pump has an intake valve on a first end and a nozzle on a second end that is opposite the first end. The intake valve can intake water. The nozzle can jettison water received in the pump from the intake valve and agitate water surrounding the nozzle.
