Abstract
The wakesurfing system may include a first and second reel assembly arranged and configured to retract a discarded surf rope. The second reel assembly may be replaced by a retraction device. The first reel assembly may have a telescoping and rotatable boom and may be coupled to a side of the watercraft. The second reel assembly or retraction device may be coupled to a rear portion of the watercraft. The first reel assembly may have a first reel cord coupled to a handle of the surf rope, and the second reel assembly may have a second reel cord coupled to a proximal location of the surf rope. The first reel cord and either second reel cord or retraction device, and the surf rope, may be in a retracted position when not in use, and in an extended position when used by a wakesurfer.
Claims20
A wakesurfing system, comprising:
- a reel assembly arranged and configured to couple to a watercraft;
- a reel cord having a first end arranged and configured to couple to the reel assembly and a second end arranged and configured to couple to a distal location of a surf rope;
- and
- a boom coupled to the reel assembly, wherein the boom is arranged and configured to allow the reel cord to pass through an internal portion of the boom and offset the first end from the reel assembly and away from a side of the watercraft, and wherein the boom comprises one or more guides located along a length of the boom to thereby guide the reel cord through the boom.

- a reel cord having a first end arranged and configured to couple to the reel assembly and a second end arranged and configured to couple to a distal location of a surf rope;
- and
- a boom coupled to the reel assembly, wherein the boom is arranged and configured to allow the reel cord to pass through an internal portion of the boom and offset the first end from the reel assembly and away from the watercraft, wherein the boom is arranged and configured to telescope such that when the boom is in an elongated position the boom defines a first length and when the boom is in a retracted position the boom defines a second length that is shorter than the first length, and wherein the boom comprises one or more rollers located at a distal end of the boom to thereby guide the reel cord out and away from the distal end of the boom.
