Water sports apparatus

Abstract

A water sports apparatus for use by stand-up paddleboard riders, comprising a first end, a second end and a substantially flexible main body extending there between, wherein the respective ends further each define a buoyant body, allowing the water sports apparatus to float on the surface of a body of water. Using a stand-up paddleboard paddle, a stand-up paddleboard rider may further lift the water sports apparatus from the surface of a body of water or catch the water sports apparatus in mid-air and subsequently throw it to a waiting stand-up paddleboard rider similarly outfitted with a stand-up paddleboard paddle. The water sports apparatus further includes cordage loops attached to each respective end, and a cordage lanyard attached to at least one of the cordage loops for storage and transport of the water sports apparatus by attachment to the leash cup of a stand-up paddleboard.

1 . A water sports apparatus comprising:
 a first end;   a second end; and   a main body extending from said first end to said second end, wherein said first end defines a first buoyant body, and said second end defines a second buoyant body.   
     
     
         2 . The water sports apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said first buoyant body and said second buoyant body further comprise open cell foam that has the capacity to absorb a portion of water, while simultaneously remain buoyant in said water. 
     
     
         3 . The water sports apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said main body is substantially flexible. 
     
     
         4 . The water sports apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said main body further comprises a main outer sleeve fixedly attached to a main inner sleeve. 
     
     
         5 . The water sports apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said first end, said second end, said main outer sleeve and said main inner sleeve further comprise substantially high visibility materials. 
     
     
         6 . The water sports apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said first end, said second end, said main outer sleeve and said main inner sleeve further comprise substantially quick-drying materials. 
     
     
         7 . The water sports apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein said first end, said second end, and said main inner sleeve further comprise a plurality of spandex synthetic fiber fabric. 
     
     
         8 . The water sports apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein said main outer sleeve further comprises mesh synthetic fiber fabric. 
     
     
         9 . The water sports apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said mesh synthetic fiber fabric is substantially non-binding, low friction and durable. 
     
     
         10 . The water sports apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a first cordage loop is fixedly attached to said first end and a second cordage loop is fixedly attached to said second end. 
     
     
         11 . The water sports apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein a cordage lanyard is removably attached to at least said first cordage loop or said second cordage loop. 
     
     
         12 . A water sports apparatus comprising a first buoyant end fixedly attached to a second buoyant end by a substantially flexible main body, wherein said water sports apparatus removably receives a paddleboard paddle. 
     
     
         13 . The water sports apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein said water sports apparatus has an overall width of approximately 2 to 3 inches and an overall length of approximately 11 to 14 inches.
