AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The illuminated multipurpose paddle system is the first of its kind to offer a paddle with an integrated lighting system. It allows users to easily transport, replace, and explore low-light surroundings both above and below the water. The lighting system is waterproof and provides practical lighting for water sports, as it is not obstructive and can still be used during the day alongside traditional paddles without sacrificing strength or adding much weight. The technical effect of this invention is to offer a more efficient and versatile paddle system for viewing and safety in low-light settings.

Problems solved by technology

All other paddles on the market are without any type of integrated lighting system, relegating users to paddle only in the daytime.
Although use of headlamps and other lighting devices are in practice to paddle at night, they are either less effective or visually obstructive, while an illuminated paddle system provides the most practical method of lighting surroundings above and below the water.
