Abstract
A holding apparatus is provided by way of which a hydrofoil surface apparatus can be retracted and extended and/or folded, out of a rest and/or starting position into its operating position and/or out of the operating position into the rest and/or starting position. Such actuation can take place manually by way of a person operating the water sports device, with the advantage of simpler transportability of the water sports device. The water sports device can already be placed in water close to the bank or beach, and can be guided or moved from there in the direction of deeper water. As soon as sufficiently deep water is reached, the hydrofoil surface apparatus can be transferred via the holding apparatus into the operating position.
Claims22
A water sports device, the water sport device being a foilboard, the foilboard comprising:
- a float, wherein the float is a swimming board;
- at least one hydrofoil surface apparatus;
- a holding apparatus having at least one first link, the holding apparatus fastening the float to the at least one hydrofoil surface apparatus;
- the hydrofoil surface apparatus having one or more hydrofoil surfaces, and the hydrofoil surface apparatus being transferrable via the holding apparatus into an operating position below the float,
- the float being transferrable in the operating position and during a forward movement on account of buoyancy brought about by way of the hydrofoil surface apparatus into a position which is spaced apart from the water surface,
- the hydrofoil surface apparatus is transferrable via the holding apparatus out of a rest and/or starting position into the operating position and/or out of the operating position into the rest and/or starting position, for which purpose the water sports device has a drive engaged with the holding apparatus to drive the holding apparatus between the rest and starting positions, wherein the drive is provided with an energy store;
- wherein the drive of the holding apparatus is arranged in a recess of the swimming board.
