Abstract
A submersible water toy for stunt based activities includes a main body portion constructed of a buoyant material. The main body portion defines an upper deck surface upon which the user can stand or otherwise be supported. The buoyancy of the main body portion is such that at least a portion of the user's weight is supported when used in a pool or other body of water.
Claims23
An apparatus, comprising:
- a submersible water toy having a core unitarily formed of foam, the core having a length along a first dimension, a width along a second dimension transverse to the first dimension and a thickness along a third dimension transverse to the first dimension and the second dimension, the width being greater than the thickness, the length being greater than the width and the thickness, the core including a top surface having a length no greater than about 29 inches and a width no greater than about 8 inches,
- the core being configured to be entirely submersed when a user is buoyantly supported and partially submersed in a substantially standing position with the user's feet contacting a surface of the submersible water toy.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a submersible water toy having a core unitarily formed of foam, the core having a length along a first dimension, a width along a second dimension transverse to the first dimension and a thickness along a third dimension transverse to the first dimension and the second dimension, the width being greater than the thickness, the length being greater than the width and the thickness, the core having a length of one of about 29 inches and about 31 inches and a width of about 8 inches,
- the core having a buoyancy such that the submersible water toy floats when a user is not disposed on the submersible water toy and such that the submersible water toy is entirely submersed when a user is buoyantly supported on a surface of the submersible water toy and the user is at least partially submersed.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a submersible water toy having a core unitarily formed of at least one of an ethylene vinyl acetate foam or an expanded polystyrene foam, the core having a thickness substantially corresponding to a thickness of the submersible water toy in a dimension substantially normal to a surface of water when the submersible water toy is submersed in the water,
- the core having a front end portion, a rear end portion and a central portion between the front end portion and the rear end portion, the front end portion of the core being cantilevered and raised relative to the central portion of the core, the rear end portion of the core being cantilevered and raised relative to the central portion of the core,
- a buoyancy of the core configured to buoyantly support a user in a substantially standing position such that the submersible water toy is entirely submersible.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a submersible water toy having a core unitarily formed of at least one of an ethylene vinyl acetate foam or an expanded polystyrene foam,
- the core having a front end portion, a rear end portion and a central portion between the front end portion and the rear end portion, the central portion having a first outer edge and a second outer edge, the first outer edge being substantially parallel to the second outer edge, the first outer edge having a first end proximate the front end portion and a second end proximate the rear end portion, the second outer edge having a first end proximate the front end portion and a second end proximate the rear end portion,
- a buoyancy of the core configured to buoyantly support a user in a substantially standing position on a top surface of the submersible water toy when the submersible water toy is entirely submersed, the user's feet being disposed on the top surface of the submersible water toy between the front end portion and the rear end portion, the core having a width such that the user's feet extend over the first outer edge and the second outer edge when the user is standing on the top surface of the submersible water toy.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a submersible water toy having a core unitarily formed of at least one of an ethylene vinyl acetate foam or an expanded polystyrene foam, the core having a thickness substantially corresponding to a thickness of the submersible water toy in a dimension substantially normal to a surface of water when the submersible water toy is submersed in the water,
- the core having a front end portion, a rear end portion and a central portion between the front end portion and the rear end portion,
- a buoyancy of the core configured to buoyantly support a user in a substantially standing position,
- the front end portion, the central portion and the rear end portion collectively defining a saddle shape along a length of the submersible water toy when the submersible water toy is entirely submersed and the user is in a substantially standing position.
