Surf perch

Abstract

A surf perch may be configured to receive a surfboard and permits a user to insert a surfboard therein, allowing him or her to sit/float in an anchored position in the water while he or she awaits a satisfactory wave. The perch may include an octagonal hole disposed vertically therethrough, which creates a mooring system and controls the angle of the anchor line relative to that of the surf perch. Additionally, the surf perch may also include a backrest assembly, with a backrest being capable to rotate upward. Also, the surf perch may be equipped with leg protection chaps surrounding the portion of the user's legs that hang into the water.

1 . A surf perch comprising:
 a main body having a streamline shape symmetric to a centerline thereof and comprising a front side, a rear side, an upper side, a bottom side, a left side, and a right side;   a first hole in a middle portion of the main body therethrough,   wherein the first hole is polygonal or star-shaped.   
     
     
         2 . The surf perch of  claim 1 , wherein the main body further comprises:
 a deck section configured to accommodate a surfboard and that is downwardly slanted from the front side to the rear side of the main body.   
     
     
         3 . The surf perch of  claim 1 , wherein the main body further comprises:
 a second hole in a front side of the main body; and   a third hole in a rear side of the main body,   wherein the first, second, and third holes are along the centerline of the main body.   
     
     
         4 . The surf perch of  claim 3 , wherein the main body further comprise two adjacent indentations on each of the left side and the right side, and the first hole is octagonal. 
     
     
         5 . The surf perch of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a pair of chaps attached on the upper side of the main body,   wherein the pair of chaps has two leggings respectively hanging down from the left and right side of the main body.   
     
     
         6 . The surf perch of  claim 5 , wherein each legging comprises a footrest at its end. 
     
     
         7 . The surf perch of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 at least one backrest support attached to the main body; and   a backrest assembled on the backrest support,   
     
     
         8 . The surf perch of  claim 7 , wherein the main body further comprises:
 at least two backrest support slots positioned symmetrical to the centerline of the main body, leaving a space with a first width W 0  that is wider than a width of the deck section.   
     
     
         9 . The surf perch of  claim 8 , wherein the at least two backrest slots are rectangular and are close to the rear side of the main body. 
     
     
         10 . The surf perch of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one backrest support comprises:
 an upper portion;   a tenon; and   a stop surface dividing the upper portion and the tenon,   wherein the tenon has a dimension matching that of one of said at least two backrest slots and is to be inserted said one of said at least two backrest slots, so that the stop surface contacts the upper side of the main body and the backrest support is perpendicular to the upper side of the main body.   
     
     
         11 . The surf perch of  claim 10 , wherein the upper portion comprises:
 a front side and a rear side;   at least one angle adjustment slot, extending from the rear side of the upper portion downwardly towards the front side of the upper portion.   
     
     
         12 . The surf perch of  claim 11 , wherein the rear side of the upper portion is a straight line and the front side of the upper portion is a curved line or a straight line non-parallel to the rear side of the upper portion. 
     
     
         13 . The surf perch of  claim 11 , wherein the backrest comprises:
 a rectangular main portion, having an upper edge, a lower edge, and two side edges with a second width W 1 ;   two upper protrusions respectively extending from the two side edges to a third width W 2  along the upper edge; and   two lower protrusions respectively extending from the two side edges to the third width W 2  along the lower edge,   wherein W 1 <W 0 <W 2 .   
     
     
         14 . The surf perch of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one backrest support and the backrest contain one or more holes for tying each to the surf perch when they are hit and knocked off the surf perch by a large wave. 
     
     
         15 . The surf perch of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 An anchor tether connected at a first end thereof to the body, and passing downwardly through the first hole; and   an anchor connected to the tether at a second end thereof.   
     
     
         16 . A surf perch comprising
 a main body adapted to and capable of floating on the surface of water;   the main body having a front end and a rear end, and an upper surface which slopes downwardly from said front end to said rear end;   a first hole located approximately at a middle portion of the main body and extending therethrough, the first hole having a series of alternating indentations and inwardly projecting ribs extending at least partly about the first hole;   a tether connected at a first end thereof to the main body, and extending downwardly through the hole;   an anchor connected to the tether at a second end of the tether;   a pair of backrest supports extending upwardly from the main body near the rear end thereof, the back rest supports being positioned symmetrical to a center line of the main body with a space therebetween sufficient to permit the passage there through of a person; and   a backrest rotatably supported adjacent upper ends of the back rest supports, whereby the backrest is capable of swinging upwardly by a person entering the surf perch from the rear between the backrest supports.   
     
     
         17 . The surf perch of  claim 16 , further comprising a pair of chaps attached on the upper side of the main body,
 wherein the pair of chaps has two leggings respectively hanging down from left and right sides of the main body.
