Abstract
A twin-hull paddle board for use while standing or sitting down, the twin-hull paddle board consists of two elongated hulls, a flat platform portion having two side edges, a front edge and a back edge, the platform portion connected across the top of the two hulls intermediate between the front ends and the back ends of each hull, the flat platform portion and the tops of the hulls forming an upper deck portion, the upper deck portion comprising two recessed foot wells placed adjacent to the side edges of the flat platform portion, the recessed foot wells contoured to prevent accumulation or puddling of water during use, and a coupling mechanism for removably coupling the leg portion of the removable seat to the upper deck portion of the paddle board.

A twin-hull stand up paddle board, the twin-hull paddle board comprising:
- two elongated hulls, the hulls contoured to have top surfaces, pointed front ends and pointed back ends, the two hulls positioned parallel to each other;
- and
- a flat platform portion having two side edges, a front edge and a back edge, the platform portion connected across the top of the two hulls intermediate between the front ends and the back ends of each hull, the flat platform portion and the tops of the hulls forming an upper deck portion, the upper deck portion and the top surfaces of the elongated hulls having a very low profile such that the distance between the upper deck portion and the top surfaces of the elongated hulls and the surface of the water is minimized, thereby decreasing resistance to wind against the twin-hull paddle board, the upper deck portion comprising two recessed foot wells placed adjacent to the side edges of the flat platform portion, the recessed foot wells contoured to prevent accumulation or puddling of water during use, the upper deck portion further having a lower surface which stays above the surface of the water, the upper deck portion further having a deep-V shape at the front edge of the platform area and a deep-V shape at the back edge of the platform portion, whereby instability of the twin-hull stand up paddle board caused by waves and front wake is eliminated.
