摘要： A guidance pad, made from flexible plastic material and configured with an array of parallel guidance ridges on the bottom side, can be retrofitted onto the bottom side of an aquatic sports device such as a surfboard so that the ridges, running fore-and-aft, enhance lateral stability by guiding water flow through the channels formed between the ridges. In a preferred embodiment, five equally-spaced ridges having a V-shaped cross-section are molded integrally on the bottom side of a generally rectangular thin flexible pad whose flat top surface is provided with a layer of self-adhesive material retained by a peel-off backing. To install the guidance pad, the backing is peeled off to expose the adhesive material and the top surface of the pad is attached onto the bottom of the surfboard just forward of the fin, for which a cutaway region is provided at the aft edge of the pad. The hydro-dynamic effects, e.g. lateral resistance, provided by the plural shallow ridges of the guidance pad of this invention combine synergistically with the hydro-dynamic effects of the deeper, shorter fixed fin(s) and overall streamlined profile to provide the surfer with enhanced overall surfing performance, including greater control and maneuverability, and faster response time on turns.

摘要翻译： 引导垫由柔性塑料材料制成，并在底面配置有平行的引导脊阵列，可以改装到诸如冲浪板的水上运动装置的底面上，使得前后运行的脊 通过引导水流通过形成在脊之间的通道来增强横向稳定性。 在优选实施例中，具有V形横截面的五个等间隔的脊部一体地模制在大致矩形的薄柔性垫的底侧上，其平顶表面设置有由剥离物保持的一层自粘合材料 退出支持。 为了安装引导垫，将背衬剥离以露出粘合剂材料，并且垫的顶部表面刚好在翅片的正前方附接到冲浪板的底部，在其前侧设置有切除区域 垫。 水动力学效应，例如 由本发明的引导垫的多个浅脊提供的横向阻力与更深，更短的固定翼和整体流线型的水动力学效果协同地结合，为冲浪者提供增强的整体冲浪性能，包括更大的 控制和机动性，以及更快的响应时间。

摘要： A board carrier that allows an individual to readily carry a surfboard, paddle board, etc. has a carrier body and a retention strap used in conjunction to encompass the board. The carrier body has a central section that is positioned along an edge of the board, and a first flap and a second flap that are positioned on opposite sides of the board. A handle and a carrier strap are connected to the central section, providing a dual means of carrying the board. The retention strap is fixed to the first flap and removably engaged with a strap fastener that is connected to the second flap. The retention strap is positioned around the board and engaged with the strap fastener to secure the board carrier to the board. A plurality of grips is integrated into the carrier body and the retention strap to prevent the board from slipping.
