A tow pylon assembly for a watercraft has a pylon, a base connected to a lower portion of the pylon, the base being configured for connecting the tow pylon assembly to the watercraft, a bollard connected to an upper portion of the pylon, the bollard being configured for attaching a tow rope to the tow pylon assembly, and an equipment holding assembly connected to the pylon. The equipment holding assembly has a resilient member connected to the pylon. The resilient member is configured for holding equipment between the resilient member and the pylon. A personal watercraft having a rear platform and the tow pylon assembly connected to the rear platform is also disclosed.

An apparatus (1800), including: a center section (1814); a first support (1802) secured to a first end of the center section, the first support including a first telescoping assembly (1804); and a second support (1808) secured to a second end of the center section, the second support including a second telescoping assembly (1810). The first telescoping assembly and the second telescoping assembly cooperate to raise and lower the center section between a first position and a second position. The center section includes an integrated sun lounge platform (1820) configured as a cockpit cover for a boat, the sun lounge platform including a seating arrangement (1822).

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.

A watersport support system includes a flotation vest having a back surface, a front surface and side surfaces. At least one adjustment belt is positioned horizontally around the main body of the vest. A pair of tethers engage the adjustment belt along both sides of the vest, and a pair of handle gripping devices are removably connected to the end of the pair of tethers. Each of the handle gripping devices includes an elongated strap that terminates into a malleable curved gripper body, and a hand strap is positioned adjacent to each gripper body. As the user squeezes the gripper body and the tow handle, the pulling force from the handle is transferred from the user's arms to the pair of tethers and the adjustment strap that loops around the back of the user's torso. When the user releases the gripper body, the body disengages the handle.

An inflatable shuttle boat including a seat tube, a pair of exterior buoyancy tubes, and a pair of foot support tubes. The seat tube has an elongate, cylindrical outer surface that is centrally located and extends from a front end to an aft end, the seat tube sized for single-file, straddled seating of a plurality of riders on top of the cylindrical outer surface. The pair of exterior buoyancy tubes have an elongate shape providing exterior sides of the inflatable shuttle boat, each of the pair of exterior buoyancy tubes having a larger diameter and height than the seat tube and extend in a parallel disposition to the seat tube at right and left sides. The pair of foot support tubes have elongate shapes extending adjacent and parallel to the seat tube in coupled engagement between the pair of exterior buoyancy tubes and the seat tube.

A small planing watercraft with an imaging device includes: the imaging device incorporated in the small planing watercraft, and capturing an image of surroundings of the small planing watercraft; and a display device incorporated in the small planing watercraft at a location where the display device is recognizable by an operator of the small planing watercraft, and displaying the image of surroundings captured by the imaging device.

An adjustable mirror assembly includes a mirror having a reflective surface. The adjustable mirror assembly may include a first locking mechanism configured to lock a support in a finite number of discrete positions. The support may be movable between a lowered position and a raised position. The mirror may be pivotally mounted to the support and may be configured to pivot about a second pivot axis to orient the reflective surface of the mirror in an aft-facing direction in both the lowered position and the raised position.

A kit is for towing through water by a swimmer to transport items, which comprises: an inflatable flotation device and a dry bag (32). The flotation device comprises, when inflated, a lead portion (10a), two spaced side portions (10b, 10c) each extending rearwardly from the lead portion, and attachment means. The dry bag (32), which may be separate to the flotation device, has an openable, water-tight closure. The side portions, when the device is inflated, and the dry bag are respectively shaped to cooperate so that the side portions provide support for the dry bag. The flotation device including the attachment means is arranged to attach the dry bag to the flotation device such that the closure (34) is located above a lead portion of the flotation device. The kit is attachable to a tow leash (32) such that a swimmer can tow the flotation device with the dry bag attached in water and such that the lead portion leads through the water.

An apparatus (100), including: a base assembly (302) configured to be secured to a windshield assembly; a mirror assembly (200); and a pivot arm (304) secured to the base assembly by a first pivot joint (306) and secured to the mirror assembly by a second pivot joint (202). The first pivot joint is configured to enable the pivot arm to rotate 360 degrees around a first pivot axis (310).
