- and
- wherein said lower portion of said inflatable element engages said support member via a compression rope engaging a channel defined by said support member.
An apparatus comprising:
- a support member having a height and a width, and inner and outer structures;
- an inflatable element having an outer surface, a lower portion and an upper portion, said lower portion of said inflatable element mounted to said support member, engaging said support member so as to support and attach to said lower portion of said inflatable element;
- at least one blower for selectively blowing air into the inflatable element to inflate said inflatable element and selectively drawing air out of the inflatable element to deflate said inflatable element;
- wherein said support member further having formed therein a storage area within said inner structure of said support member, said storage area formed so as to permit storage of said inflatable element within said storage area;
