Abstract
A flotation system for a recreational board such as a stand up paddleboard includes an elongated substrate that is sized and shaped to releaseably wrap around the perimeter of a recreational board. The elongated substrate is constructed of a buoyant material such as foam, and defines a plurality of apertures that can be used to store items such as beverages and personal belongings. The elongated substrate is releaseably attached to the board by a variety of fastening means, and serves to increase stability and buoyancy of the board, and to protect the board.
Claims18
A flotation system for use with a recreational board, said flotation system including:
- a. An elongated substrate having a density between 0.014 gm/cm3 and less than 1 gm/cm3, said substrate consisting of a top portion, a side portion and a bottom portion, said portions defining a longitudinal channel;
