Abstract
A kite sailboard system for a person includes a sitting board having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a cavity. The cavity has an opening on the upper surface where the person sits. The cavity has a sitting surface for the person to sit upon, located at the bottom of the cavity. A kite provides a motive impulse force to the person and the sitting board. There are one or more tether lines attached to the kite.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A kite sailboard system for a person comprising:
a) a sitting board having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a cavity forming an opening on the upper surface, wherein the cavity having a sitting surface, and wherein the person sits on the sitting surface; b) a kite; and c) one or more tether lines attached to the kite; whereby the person can grasp the tether lines for controlling the movement of the sitting board, and whereby the kite provides a motive impulse force to the person and the sitting board.
2 . The kite sailboard system of claim 1 , wherein the sitting board further has a back support.
3 . The kite sailboard system of claim 2 , wherein the sitting board further has a foot indentation, wherein a portion of the upper surface separates the cavity from the foot indentation.
4 . The kite sailboard system of claim 3 , wherein the lower surface having skeg fins, whereby the skeg fins provide increased stability for the sitting board.
5 . The kite sailboard system of claim 4 , wherein the kite is a parachute.
6 . The kite sailboard system of claim 4 , wherein the kite is a parasail.
7 . The kite sailboard system of claim 6 , further comprising a tether controller, wherein the tether controller is attached to the tether line, whereby the person grasps and moves the tether controller to control the kite.
8 . The kite sailboard system of claim 7 , wherein the tether controller has a tie line, wherein the sitting board further has a tie point, whereby the tie line can be attached to the tie point, thereby providing hands free attachment of the tether controller to the sitting board.
9 . The kite sailboard system of claim 8 , wherein the sitting board further has an oar holder that accepts an oar.
10 . The kite sailboard system of claim 9 , wherein the sitting board further has a storage compartment and a storage cover.
11 . A kite sailboard system for a person comprising:
a) a sitting board having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a cavity forming an opening on the upper surface, wherein the cavity having a sitting surface, wherein the person sits on the sitting surface, wherein the cavity accepts the lower body of the person including the feet, and wherein a portion of the upper surface partially encloses the cavity, such that the upper surface covers the legs and the feet of the person; b) a kite; and c) one or more tether lines attached to the kite; whereby the person can grasp the tether lines for controlling the movement of the sitting board, and whereby the kite provides a motive impulse force to the person and the sitting board.
12 . The kite sailboard system of claim 11 , wherein the sitting board further has an oar holder that accepts an oar.
13 . The kite sailboard system of claim 12 , wherein the sitting board further has an oar attached to the oar holder.
14 . The kite sailboard system of claim 13 , wherein the lower surface further having skeg fins, whereby the skeg fins provide increased stability for the sitting board.
15 . The kite sailboard system of claim 14 , wherein the kite is a parachute.
16 . The kite sailboard system of claim 14 , wherein the kite is a parasail.
17 . The kite sailboard system of claim 16 , further comprising a tether controller, wherein the tether controller is attached to the tether line, whereby the person grasps and moves the tether controller to control the kite.
18 . The kite sailboard system of claim 17 , wherein the sitting board further has a latching device, whereby the latching device secures the tether controller to the sitting board.
19 . The kite sailboard system of claim 17 , wherein the tether controller has a tie line, wherein the sitting board further has a tie point, whereby the tie line can be attached to the tie point, thereby providing hands free attachment of the tether controller to the sitting board.
20 . The kite sailboard system of claim 19 , wherein the sitting board further having a storage compartment and a storage cover.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
