Multifunctional stand-up paddleboard and methods

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a multifunctional stand-up paddleboard (MFSUP) comprising a paddleboard, a paddle, and a drive unit. At the stem of the paddleboard is a docking port configured to receive the drive unit that propels the paddleboard. In some embodiments, the paddleboard comprises a rigid midsection, and an inflatable bow and stem. The inflatable portions are inflated during use and deflated then folded over the midsection during storage. A control paddle having control switches send command signals by Bluetooth to the drive unit to control the velocity of propellors. A battery bank is disposed on the midsection and provides power to the drive unit. A solar panel can be included on a superior surface of the paddleboard to supply power to the battery bank. The drive unit is removable from the docking port for propelling a human through a water body. Other features and methods are also disclosed.
