         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein each of the upper ends has an outward facing side and an inward facing side, the outward facing sides of the left and right shoulder straps each being a distance D 1  of around 3-4 inches from the left edge portion and the right edge portion, respectively, and the inward facing sides being separated by a distance D 2  of around 6 inches. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the backpack/body board carrier has multiple compartments including a main compartment accessible via a hook and loop securable/detachable flap at a top side of the backpack/body board carrier, a secondary compartment posteriorly located in relation to the main compartment and accessible via a zippered opening, and at least one additional compartment adjacent to the secondary compartment and accessible via additional hook and loop securable/detachable flaps, the at least one additional compartment including a compartment sized for holding a smartphone. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the backpack/body board carrier includes adjustable body board(s) mounting straps each secured at opposite ends thereof to the left edge portion and the right edge portion, respectively, the adjustable body board(s) mounting straps being sized and configured for securing a single body board or two body boards one on top of the other against a front portion of the backpack/body board carrier. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the back portion has a width that is greater than a height of the back portion. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the width is around 19 inches and the height is around 15 inches. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the modular insulated container has a zippered opening about a top portion of the container, the top portion including a handle centrally located at and secured to the top portion. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the modular insulated container has exterior dimensions of around 13″(W)×5″(D)×9″(H). 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cooler mounting straps are approximately equal in length and sufficiently long to allow the cooler mounting straps to remain attached to the arm rest while the cooler is either placed next to the folding chair on the surface upon which the folding chair is standing or placed on a seat portion of the folding chair and secured between the seat portion and the back portion when the chair is folded to a closed configuration. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the tote bag mounting straps are approximately equal in length and sufficiently long to allow the tote bag mounting straps to remain attached to the other arm rest while the tote bag is either placed next to the folding chair on the surface upon which the folding chair is standing or placed on a seat portion of the folding chair and secured between the seat portion and the back portion when the chair is folded to a closed configuration. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cooler further includes an adjustable cooler shoulder strap secured at opposite ends thereof to left and right end portions, respectively, of the modular insulated container. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the tote bag further includes an adjustable tote bag shoulder strap secured at opposite ends thereof to left and right end portions, respectively, of the additional modular container. 
     
     
         15 . A human-wearable system for and securable to a folding chair, the system comprising:
 a backpack/body board carrier including a back portion of a generally/substantially rectangular shape defined at opposite top and bottom ends by an upper edge portion and a lower edge portion and at opposite left and right ends by a left edge portion and a right edge portion, the backpack/body board carrier including a pair of chair mounting straps at opposite ends of the upper edge portion, the chair mounting straps being of the same length and each of the chair mounting straps including manually engageable and releasable latch elements securable to a folding chair about exposed frame portions of a chair back portion of the folding chair at left and right opposite ends, respectively, of a top edge of the chair back portion, the backpack/body board carrier including adjustable body board(s) mounting straps each secured at opposite ends thereof to the left edge portion and the right edge portion, respectively;   wherein a width of the back portion is around 19 inches, and a ratio of the width of the back portion to a height of the back portion is at least 1.2 facilitating securing a body board to the backpack/body board carrier such that the body board is favorably located relatively high on the user's back for carrying while also maintaining a symmetrical left to right distribution of the weight of the body board being carried.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising:
