New US Patent #6871608 Upgrading Water Sports and Outdoor Recreation
The US patent and Trademark Office issued a utility patent on the “Twin Hull Personal Watercraft” invention that will improve the paddling experience of millions of paddlers worldwide by increasing their stability, comfort and speed, and enable new paddlesports. This invention was developed after years of research in biomechanics, ergonomics, hydrostatics and hydrodynamics.
(PRWEB) April 1, 2005 -- Better Paddling Experience for Millions of Paddlers:
The paddling boats using this new technology are more stable than any canoe or
kayak, without being wider.
The new boats offer paddling in the Riding
position, which is the natural position used in practically all high performance
outdoor sports EG biking, motor-biking, horse riding, personal watercraft (PWC),
all terrain vehicle (ATV), snowmobiles etc. This is good news for millions of
paddlers who suffer from discomfort, fatigue and injuries resulting from sitting
in inadequate positions, especially in kayaks. In addition, paddlers in the new
boats can also chose to paddle in the two traditional positions- sitting and
kneeling. The ability to freely switch between positions adds an important
ergonomic factor by enabling the use of different groups of muscles.
The
new invention also improves paddling boats’ speed by efficiently implementing
the successful twinhull (catamaran) concept in small, personal boats.
New
paddle sports:
In addition, the new invention upgrades paddle sports to the
level of land and snow sports by enabling practically anyone to paddle standing
in full confidence, which is in fact to practice motorless water skiing.
People can paddle-ski wherever it’s possible to paddle canoes and
kayaks.
An early version of this project attained the semi-finals of the
MIT $50K competition. Company website: www.wavewalk.com
