Tri-Hulled Stand-Up Paddle Board

Abstract

A trimaran standup paddleboard includes a main hull having a bow, a mid-beam and a stern. The main hull has a length and shape that extends from a point at the bow, broadens out to the mid-beam, and narrows to a point at the stern. The trimaran standup paddleboard further includes a platform on top and aft the main hull, the platform being planar and extending out sideways beyond the mid-beam of the main hull, and a pair of lateral struts extending laterally out from opposing sides of the main hull behind the platform from a proximal end of each lateral strut. The trimaran standup paddleboard further includes a pair of outrigger hulls, each outrigger hull being connected to a distal end of one of the pair of lateral struts, and positioned parallel with and spaced apart from the main hull aft the platform.

1 . A standup paddleboard comprising:
 main hull having a bow, a mid-beam and a stern, and having a length and shape that extends from a point at the bow, broadens out to the mid-beam, and narrows to a point at the stern;   a platform on top and aft the main hull, the platform being planar and extending out sideways beyond the mid-beam of the main hull;   a pair of lateral struts extending laterally out from opposing sides of the main hull behind the platform from a proximal end of each lateral strut; and   a pair of outrigger hulls, each outrigger hull being connected to a distal end of one of the pair of lateral struts, and positioned parallel with and spaced apart from the main hull aft the platform.   
     
     
         2 . The standup paddleboard in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the platform narrows aft on the main hull. 
     
     
         3 . The standup paddleboard in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein each of the pair of outrigger hulls is positioned at a height proximate a waterline of the main hull. 
     
     
         4 . The standup paddleboard in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the main hull is hollow.
