Wake Ski

Abstract

A wake ski has a deck, a foot binding, and at least one fin. The deck of the wake ski includes a top side, a bottom side, a bulbous front end, and a bulbous rear end. The front and rear ends have transverse widths that are larger than a transverse width at the midsection of the deck.

1 . A wake ski, the wake ski comprising:
 a deck having a top side, a bottom side, a bulbous front end, an opposing bulbous rear end, a midsection, and a fin receiving portion, the front end and the rear end each being formed to have a transverse width that is larger than a transverse width of the midsection;   a foot binding attached to the top side; and   at least one fin attached to the fin receiving portion.   
   
   
       2 . The wake ski of  claim 1 , wherein the deck is formed to have an elliptical curve from the front end to the rear end, such that the front end and rear end are upraised relative to the midsection. 
   
   
       3 . The wake ski of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom side comprises:
 a beveled right side;   a center portion; and   a beveled left side.   
   
   
       4 . The wake ski of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fin comprises:
 a pair of fins on the bottom side of the front end attached to a first fin receiving portion; and   a pair of fins on the bottom side of the rear end attached to a second fin receiving portion.   
   
   
       5 . The wake ski of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fin comprises:
 a fin in the center of the bottom side of the front end attached to a first fin receiving portion; and   a fin in the center of the bottom side of the rear end attached to a second fin receiving portion.   
   
   
       6 . The wake ski of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a secondary foot binding attached to the top side.   
   
   
       7 . The wake ski of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fin is integral to the fin receiving portion. 
   
   
       8 . The wake ski of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fin is releasably attached to the fin receiving portion. 
   
   
       9 . The wake ski of  claim 8 , wherein the at least one fin is adapted to be interchanged with other fins. 
   
   
       10 . The wake ski of  claim 8 , wherein the at least one fin is adapted to be interchanged with a different number of replacement fins. 
   
   
       11 . The wake ski of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 at least one plug configured to fill an aperture in the fin receiving portion when the at least one fin is detached.   
   
   
       12 . The wake ski of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one plug is formed to increase friction between the wake ski and water. 
   
   
       13 . The wake ski of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one plug is formed to decrease friction between the wake ski and water. 
   
   
       14 . The wake ski of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fin is a thin, curved, plate-like protrusion. 
   
   
       15 . The wake ski of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fin is wedge shaped. 
   
   
       16 . The wake ski of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fin is triangular shaped. 
   
   
       17 . The wake ski of  claim 3 , wherein a shape of the beveled right side of the bottom side is selected from the group of convex, concave, inclined, and curved. 
   
   
       18 . The wake ski of  claim 17 , wherein a shape the beveled right side of the bottom side is a combination of at least two shapes selected from the group of convex, concave, inclined, and curved. 
   
   
       19 . The wake ski of  claim 3 , wherein a shape of the beveled left side of the bottom side is selected from the group of convex, concave, inclined, and curved. 
   
   
       20 . The wake ski of  claim 19 , wherein a shape the beveled left side of the bottom side is a combination of at least two shapes selected from the group of convex, concave, inclined, and curved.
