Inflatable standup paddleboard with split deck pad

Abstract

An inflatable standup paddleboard having a split deck pad. The split deck pad may allow for easier storage and greater customization options for the inflatable standup paddleboard. The split deck pad may also be removable from the body of the standup paddleboard through integral grooves within the body of the inflatable standup paddleboard. The structural integrity and buoyancy may be further improved with a crisscrossed structure of strings within the interior of the inflatable standup paddleboard.

 a body, capable of being inflated from a deflated state to an inflated state, made of a buoyant material;   a first deck pad positioned on an upper face of the body, at a first symmetrical distance from a longitudinal axis passing through a symmetrical center of the body;   a second deck pad positioned on the upper face of the body, at a second symmetrical distance from the longitudinal axis;   a valve stem positioned on a face of the body for inflating and deflating the body; and   first and second fin boxes, adapted for receiving first and second fins, respectively, positioned on a lower face of the body.   
     
     
         2 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a hollow cavity. 
     
     
         3 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises an inner cavity having a filling suitable for aquatic use. 
     
     
         4 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 3 , wherein the filling comprises fibers sewn in a cross stitched pattern. 
     
     
         5 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 4 , wherein the fibers comprise PVC. 
     
     
         6 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 5 , wherein the fibers comprise TPU. 
     
     
         7 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 3 , wherein at least a first portion of fibers are sewn in a cross stitched pattern, and a second portion of fibers are sewn in a linear pattern. 
     
     
         8 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 1 , wherein the valve stem is offset from the longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         9 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second deck pads are integrally part of the body. 
     
     
         10 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second deck pads further comprise respective adhesive components adapted to adhere to a first and second point of attachment on the upper face of the body. 
     
     
         11 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 6 , wherein the body further comprises a tacky surface proximate to the first and second points of attachment of the deck pads. 
     
     
         12 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 11 , wherein the first and second points of attachment are symmetrically positioned about the longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         13 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more carry handles positioned at a forward position on the body. 
     
     
         14 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 1 , further comprising an action mount. 
     
     
         15 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second fin boxes are located at approximately symmetrical points about the longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         16 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a bag adapted to hold the body when the body is in a deflated state;   one or more straps adapted to store the body in the deflated state; and   one or more poles positioned in the bag to provide additional structural integrity to the bag.   
     
     
         17 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 16 , further comprising a modular paddle, said paddle comprising:
 an upper cylindrical rod having an interior hollow cylinder and a handle attached to a distal portion of an outside of the upper cylindrical rod;   a lower cylindrical rod having, on a proximal end of the rod, an extruding cylinder for interlocking with the interior hollow cylinder of the upper cylindrical rod, and a paddle interlocking component on a distal end of the lower cylindrical rod;   an interlocking device for removably locking the upper and lower cylindrical rods; and   a removably attachable blade having an upper hollow cylindrical component adapted to receive the paddle interlocking device.   
     
     
         18 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 17 , wherein the upper and lower cylindrical rod have dimensions that are adapted to fit within the bag. 
     
     
         19 . An inflatable standup paddleboard system comprising:
 an inflatable body made of a buoyant material, wherein the buoyant material comprises PVC fibers sewn in a cross stitched pattern, and further comprising a substantially hollow cavity;   a first deck pad integrally positioned on an upper face of the body, at a first symmetrical distance from a longitudinal axis passing through a symmetrical center of the body;   a second deck pad integrally positioned on the upper face of the body, at a second symmetrical distance from the longitudinal axis;   a valve stem positioned on a face of the body for inflating and deflating the body and positioned offset from the longitudinal axis; and   first and second fin boxes, adapted for receiving elongated first and second fins, respectively, positioned on a lower face of the body, located at approximately symmetrical points about the longitudinal axis, wherein the elongated first and   second fins have lengths of approximately nine inches.   
     
     
         20 . The inflatable standup paddleboard system of  claim 19 , further comprising:
 an upper cylindrical rod having an interior hollow cylinder and a handle attached to a distal portion of an outside of the rod;   a lower cylindrical rod having, on a proximal end of the rod, an extruding cylinder for interlocking with the interior hollow cylinder of the upper cylindrical rod, and a paddle interlocking component on a proximate end of the lower cylindrical rod;   an interlocking device for removably locking the upper and lower cylindrical rods; and   a removably attachable blade having an upper hollow cylindrical component adapted to receive the paddle interlocking device.
