PERSONAL FLOATATION DEVICE
A personal floatation system provides a horseshoe shaped float that is buoyant and can be used in a number or positions to float a person on the water and retain a beverage. The horseshoe shaped floatation device has a left and right armrest that extend out from an arced shaped closed end and dual cup holder, on the extended end of the armrest, has a cup cylinder to retain a beverage in the vertical orientation and an end cup holder to retain a beverage in an orthogonal orientation to the cup cylinder. The floatation device may have an extending strap that couples the left and right armrests together to secure the horseshoe shaped float around a person's torso.

SUPPORT ASSEMBLIES FOR WATERCRAFTS AND RELATED METHODS OF ASSEMBLY
A watercraft includes a hull, an opening extending vertically through the hull, and a support assembly configured to mount a propulsion mechanism to the watercraft. The hull at least partially defines the opening. The support assembly includes a rightward support device attached to the hull, positioned between a forward portion of the opening and a rearward portion of the opening, and at least partially defining a right lateral portion of the opening. The support assembly further includes a leftward support device attached to the hull, positioned between the forward portion of the opening and the rearward portion of the opening, and at least partially defining a left lateral portion of the opening.
CONFIGURABLE WATER MAT
A water mat assembly having selectively attachable modular panels is disclosed. The water mat comprises a buoyant solid core insert that is inserted into a sleeve made of fabric. The sleeve may be couple to other sleeves to form an assembly of floating panels. The end panels may have grommeted ports for tethering the mat assembly to a dock or water vehicle.
PADDLEBOARD BOARDING ASSISTANCE DEVICE
A device for attachment to a rideable object upon a water surface, such as, but not limited to a paddleboard, to provide a grasping surface and foothold to aid in righting and boarding the rideable object. The device is configured for universal use, wherein it is adjustable for multiple sizes and types of rideable objects or paddleboards. The device is comprised of a connecting portion having a first end and a second end opposed the first end. The connecting portion includes a selectable position and attachment means to enable fixing the device to the rideable object. A second end of the device includes a loop member configured to dangle below the rideable object to provide a foothold for boarding and righting the object.
HUMAN-POWERED BOAT AND HUMAN-POWERED PROPULSION APPARATUS THEREFOR
The present invention relates to a human-powered boat that a user can easily operate with his/her own manual power even though the boat is in a form causing large resistance to propulsion, and the human-powered boat is equipped with a propulsion apparatus that imitates the tail fin of a fish. The propulsion apparatus, in which an oscillating foil mechanism is applied to an “L-shaped oar”, enables a rider to perform forward-facing rowing and can easily change a direction and prevent damage due to a collision with an underwater obstacle. Typically, the human-powered boat of the present invention has the following three limitations in order to maximize simplicity while maintaining propulsion efficiency, compared with prior arts in the same technical field: First, a rider has a specific limitation in tilting the propulsion apparatus through an up-down movement of his/her arm. Second, the foil of the propulsion apparatus does not make contact with the longitudinal axis of the boat body in a predetermined range of motion. Third, the propulsion apparatus has a predetermined level of limitation in generating a propulsion force below the submerged portion of the boat body.
Human driven water propulsion device
A human driven water propulsion apparatus includes a propeller and a human powered drive coupled to the propeller for driving the propeller. The propeller and human powered drive are connected to and supported by a chassis. Foot pedals are slidably engaged with the helical drive shafts. The helical drive shafts are connected to the propeller through one-way clutches and a gear train such that the propeller is driven by the helical drive shafts when driven by the pedals. In a watercraft application, the chassis is rotatably mounted for rotation between a first position where the propeller is faced in a forward direction and a second position where the propeller is faced in a rearward direction. In a swimmer application, a seat is attached to the chassis by a seat post and straps secure the seat to a user.
PERSONAL BIPEDAL WATERCRAFT
A personal bipedal watercraft includes a pair of skis. Each ski of the pair of skis includes a floating hull. A deck is secured to the hull. A binding on each deck is configured to receive a foot of a user. A plurality of paddle assemblies are moveably secured to an underside of the floating hull. The paddle assemblies each include a blade and a fin.
