Benefits of technology

The present disclosure provides a new water ski system with a buoyant ski and paddles that allow a user to move on water in a similar motion to cross country skiing. The ski has a curved profile and a pivoting paddle that moves backward and remains vertical when moving backwards. The ski is made of a flexible material that fits the foot of the user and has a non-affixed heel. The ski pole provides resistance and is buoyant. The system allows for quicker and more stable movement on water and reduces friction.

Problems solved by technology

Generally the heavier the person, the bigger the skis will be.
This can result in the individual becoming prematurely fatigued and moving slowly in the water.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to water skis and more particularly to a water ski system as used to improve the water ski system.

[0019]Generally, the present invention utilizes a set of boards to enable a user to move on the surface of water in a similar motion as with a cross country ski. It provides a cross ocean ski that allows for buoyancy, with a fixed fin for stabilization and one or more paddles that rotate on a hinge. This allows users to push water backwards when moving their legs backwards in order to move forward in the water using their legs. It enables the user to move both legs freely to move easily in any direction on the water.

[0020]The present invention affords users the ability to approach waves and catch them in a surf-like manner, but while using movements similar to skiing, as opposed to conventional surfing. Water ski system offers a set of cross-country like skis designed to function on water. The skis are comprised of a...

Abstract

A water ski system which includes two essentially identical assemblies each assembly including a buoyant ski having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front, and a back configured to float on water. Each buoyant ski includes a pivoting paddle located on the bottom surface of the buoyant ski configured to deploy in a backwards motion and retract in a forward motion against a force of water in a motion similar to cross-country skiing. The device propels a user across water when manipulated. Each buoyant ski has a foot mount and a toe of a boot pivotally affixed to the top surface of the buoyant ski.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application is related to and claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 445,144 filed Jan. 11, 2017, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure.
