Magnet system for removable attachment of a bag to a water board

#Water boards such as surfboards, paddleboards and stand-up paddleboards are used in various water sports and recreation activities. Often one using a water board is on the water for a long period of time. Because water boards often have a flat surface, this limits storage options for accessories such as water bottles and smart phones. This is especially true when water surface is uneven because of the presence of waves.

#FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bag removably secured to a water board with a magnet system for bag attachment in accordance with an embodiment.

#FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a water board with four metal discs retained thereupon of a magnet system for bag attachment in accordance with an embodiment.

#FIG. 3A is a bottom view of a left portion of a bag with two magnets retained therein of a magnet system for bag attachment in accordance with the present invention.

#In accordance with various implementations, a board is configured as a water board. Metal pieces are at least partially embedded in a top surface of the board. Each metal piece is composed of ferrous material. Each metal piece is coated with a water impermeable substance to prevent rusting. The metal pieces are configured to align with magnets located at a bottom of a bag, allowing the bag to be attached to the board by a magnetic bond formed between the magnets and the metal pieces.

#For example, the each metal piece is embedded in a bore within the board so that a surface of the board is smooth at a location where the metal pieces are embedded within the board. For example, the metal pieces are metal disks.

#In another implementation, a water board bag has mounting material. A plurality of magnets is mounted so as to locate the plurality of magnets over metal pieces mounted on a water board. Each magnet in the plurality of magnets generates a magnetic bond to the plurality of metal pieces of sufficient strength to hold the water board bag to the water board. Waterproof material encompasses the mounting material and the plurality of magnets. The waterproof material protects the mounting material and the plurality of magnets from moisture when the water board bag is mounted on the water board. A waterproof pouch is connected to the waterproof material. The waterproof pouch protects contents of the waterproof pouch from moisture when the water board bag is mounted on the water board.
