Paddleboard and paddle devices and systems

Abstract

The paddleboard equipment preferably includes a paddle and paddleboard. The paddle may comprise: two shafts; two paddle blades; one or more secondary handles; and a connector. Each of the two shafts may include one paddle blade and the secondary handle. The two shafts may be interconnected via the connector to become a double-bladed paddle. The secondary handles may be removable. The paddleboard may include: a board and a keel. The keel is preferably located at the underside of the board and preferably extends substantially along the entire length of the board. The board may be comprised of a core and an exterior shell. The exterior shell may be constructed of a polyurea. The core may be constructed an expanded polystyrene foam material or extruded polystyrene foam material. Together the paddle and paddleboard preferably provide the user with enhanced movement and control for the water sport of paddleboarding.

         7 . The paddleboard equipment of  claim 6 , wherein said one or more secondary handles are configured to be removeably connected to each of said two shafts. 
     
     
         8 . The paddleboard and paddle system of  claim 7 , wherein said keel is tapered and is at least 7.5 centimeters in height. 
     
     
         9 . The paddleboard and paddle system of  claim 8 , wherein said board is constructed of an extruded polystyrene foam material. 
     
     
         10 . The paddleboard and paddle system of  claim 8 , wherein said board is comprised of a core and an exterior shell;
 wherein said exterior shell of said board is constructed of a polyurea material.   
     
     
         11 . The paddleboard and paddle system of  claim 10 , wherein said core of said board is constructed of an expanded polystyrene foam material. 
     
     
         12 . The paddleboard and paddle system of  claim 10 , wherein said core of said board is constructed of an extruded polystyrene foam material. 
     
     
         13 . A paddleboard device, comprising:
 a paddleboard;   wherein said paddleboard comprises: a keel and a board; and   wherein said keel is positioned at an underside of said board and extends substantially along a length of said board and is positioned substantially across a centerline of said board.   
     
     
         14 . The paddleboard device of  claim 13 , wherein said keel is tapered and is at least 7.5 centimeters in height. 
     
     
         15 . The paddleboard and paddle system of  claim 14 , wherein said board is comprised of a core and an exterior shell;
 wherein said exterior shell of said board is constructed of a polyurea material.   
     
     
         16 . The paddleboard and paddle system of  claim 15 , wherein said core of said board is constructed of an expanded polystyrene foam material. 
     
     
         17 . The paddleboard and paddle system of  claim 15 , wherein said core of said board is constructed of an extruded polystyrene foam material. 
     
     
         18 . A paddle device, comprising:
