         5 . The water launch system of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of support braces disposed along the length of the ramp, wherein each ramp extends across the width of the ramp. 
     
     
         6 . The water launch system of  claim 5 , further comprising a plurality of vertical support poles extending from the floating dock and extending to the support brace. 
     
     
         7 . The water launch system of  claim 6 , further comprising an angled support pole extending from each corresponding vertical support pole and extending to the support brace. 
     
     
         8 . A ramp system comprising:
 a ramp, wherein said ramp is configured to rest on a plurality of support braces;   wherein each brace of the plurality of support braces is fastened onto a pair of vertical support poles;   said each support pole are attached to a floating dock;   wherein said floating dock includes dock cleats;   a plurality of pumps attached to corresponding dock cleats; and   at least one or more weighted anchors attached to said dock cleats.   
     
     
         9 . The ramp system of  claim 8 , further comprising a plurality of hoses, configured to supply water from the pump to the ramp. 
     
     
         10 . The ramp system of  claim 8 , further comprising an angled support pole extending from each corresponding vertical support pole and extending to the support brace. 
     
     
         11 . The ramp system of  claim 8 , further comprising slide tubes extending along the length of the ramp. 
     
     
         12 . The ramp system of  claim 11 , further comprising a plurality of spacers located between the slide tubes and the ramp, wherein the slide tubes are fastened onto at least one spacer of the plurality of spacers, the ramp, and at least one support brace of the plurality of support braces via a fastener. 
     
     
         13 . The ramp system of  claim 11 , wherein the slide tubes extend past an entrance and an exit of the ramp. 
     
     
         14 . The ramp system of  claim 8 , wherein the ramp is configured to rest directly on at one end of the floating dock. 
     
     
         15 . A water launch system for water vehicles, said water launch system comprising:
 a floating dock;   a ramp supported by the floating dock and inclined at an angle relative to the floating dock;   said ramp including a plurality of water ports disposed along the length of ramp;   a plurality of hoses, wherein each hose is configured to supply corresponding water ports with water;   a plurality of pumps configured to supply water to the plurality of hoses; and   a power supply configured to supply power to the plurality of pumps.   
     
     
         16 . The water launch system of  claim 15 , wherein the plurality of pumps are located below the floating dock, and are configured to be attached to dock cleats disposed on the floating dock. 
     
     
         17 . The water launch system of  claim 16 , further comprising anchored weights attached to the dock cleats 
     
     
         18 . The water launch system of  claim 15 , further comprising an attachment plate adjacent to each water port, wherein each attachment plate is connected to an elbow pipe fitting, and each elbow pipe fitting is attached to a corresponding hose. 
     
     
         19 . The water launch system of  claim 18 , wherein the attachment plate is fastened via one or more bolts secured by a nut. 
     
     
         20 . The water launch system of  claim 15 , wherein the power supply is configured to be placed on top of the floating dock.
