Bisected surfboard insert

Abstract

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a bisected surfboard insert for a surf bag. In an illustrative example, the bisected surfboard insert includes a first segment and a second segment. The first segment of the bisected surfboard insert may, for example, be inserted into the second segment to enclose a surfboard. Various embodiments of the bisected surfboard insert may advantageously couple via a pattern, which may, for example, include a jig-saw pattern.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device comprising:
 a bisected insert extending along a longitudinal axis;   the bisected insert having a first cover portion and a second cover portion;   each of the cover portions having a rigid protective exterior shell with a fixed longitudinal dimension and an interior surface lined having a cushioning element configured to receive opposing ends of a predetermined surfboard; and,   each of the cover portions including opposing, joinable interdigitating members configured to slidingly couple the first cover portion and the second cover portion along the longitudinal axis by insertion of an insertion member extending from an outer surface of the first portion into a corresponding receiving member extending from an inner surface of the second portion;   wherein an assembled cover formed by the first and second cover portion is dimensioned to be stowed within a case.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the bisected insert is made of moisture resistant and UV resistant material. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the bisected insert is configured to reversibly switch to a carry mode. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising interlocking features arranged on each of the cover portions configured to reversibly lock the cover portions together. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the case is configured to receive the predetermined surfboard. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein at least one handle extends from the case. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a length of the first cover portion and a length of the second cover portion is dimensioned to accommodate the predetermined surfboard. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein draining holes disposed within the bisected insert are configured to remove fluid from the bisected insert. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a dual-locking system is configured to securely lock the predetermined surfboard in the bisected insert. 
     
     
         10 . A device comprising:
 a bisected insert extending along a longitudinal axis;   the bisected insert having a first cover portion and a second cover portion;   each of the cover portions having a rigid protective exterior shell with a fixed longitudinal dimension and an interior surface lined having a cushioning element configured to receive opposing ends of a predetermined surfboard; and,   each of the cover portions including opposing, joinable interdigitating members configured to slidingly couple the first cover portion and the second cover portion along the longitudinal axis by insertion of an insertion member extending from an outer surface of the first portion into a corresponding receiving member extending from an inner surface of the second portion.   
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein an assembled cover formed by the first and second cover portion is dimensioned to be stowed within a case. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the bisected insert is made of moisture resistant and UV resistant material. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the bisected insert is configured to reversibly switch to a carry mode. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 10 , further comprising interlocking features arranged on each of the cover portions configured to reversibly lock the cover portions together. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein a case is configured to receive the predetermined surfboard. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein at least one handle extends from the case. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein a length of the first cover portion and a length of the second cover portion is dimensioned to accommodate the predetermined surfboard. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein draining holes disposed within the bisected insert are configured to remove fluid from the bisected insert. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein a dual-locking system is configured to securely lock the predetermined surfboard in the bisected insert. 
     
     
         20 . A device comprising:
 means for housing extending along a longitudinal axis;   the means for housing having a first cover portion and a second cover portion;   each of the cover portions having a rigid protective exterior shell with a fixed longitudinal dimension and an interior surface lined having a cushioning element configured to receive opposing ends of a predetermined surfboard; and,   each of the cover portions including opposing, joinable interdigitating members configured to slidingly couple the first cover portion and the second cover portion along the longitudinal axis by insertion of an insertion member extending from an outer surface of the first portion into a corresponding receiving member extending from an inner surface of the second portion;
