Abstract
A surf stand which can be used for surf fishing, life guard stands, and other marine functions. The lightweight stand can be easily manufactured and assembled from common, inexpensive materials. The surf stand features a unique construction which permits the application of suction forces within the legs to help set the stand firmly in the bottom soil or sand for stability and safety. The unique construction also permits pressurization of the legs to help dislodge them from the bottom when relocation or removal is desired.
