Benefits of technology

[0022]The body may include a comprise material such as polystyrene between the upper and lower surfaces to provide stability and buoyancy to the wake board. In a preferred embodiment, the polystyrene may be covered with fibreglass or another suitable material.

Problems solved by technology

The majority of water sports apparatuses are configured only for a single user position, ie standing position for example, and do not provide satisfactory user support if the user attempts to use the apparatus in a different position.
Further, existing water sports apparatuses (especially those which ar

Embodiment Construction

[0063]A first preferred embodiment wake board is shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, and comprises a generally disk-like wake board body indicated generally by reference numeral 1. The wake board body comprises a relatively planar lower surface 3 (FIG. 5), an upper surface 5, and a perimeter 7 which extends around the wake board body between the lower surface and the upper surface.

[0064]As can be seen most clearly in FIG. 5, the perimeter has a curved lower portion 9 extending upwardly from the lower surface 3 and which has a first radius, and an upper portion 11 extending to the upper surface which has a second radius substantially smaller than the first radius. Alternatively, the upper portion 11 of the perimeter may be substantially sharp rather than having a radius. The curved lower portion 9 and upper portion 11 extend around at least a major part of the perimeter. In the embodiment shown, the curved lower portion 9 and upper portion 11 extend around substantially the entire perimeter. Howeve

Abstract

A wake board has a body (1) with a lower surface (3), an upper surface (5), and a perimeter (7). The perimeter (7) may have a lower portion (9) having a first radius extending upwardly from the lower surface and an upper portion (11) towards the upper surface and which is relatively sharp or has a second radius substantially smaller than the first radius. The lower portion (9) and upper portion (11) may extend around at least a major part of the perimeter (7), with the upper surface having a substantially flat perimeter region (13) extending around at least a major part of the wake hoard body and adjacent the upper portion of the perimeter. The wake board may have a nose section with a first curved portion which is a concave shape as viewed from the lower surface of the wake board body.
