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-modified
What 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.
