Abstract

A reconfigurable wakesurf binding apparatus and system is provided. In certain embodiments, the wakesurf binding may comprise a top surface of a wakesurf board having a longitudinal axis, a first pair of female threaded inserts in the top surface aligned along a first axis angularly offset from the longitudinal axis of the wakesurf board by a first offset angle, a first strap having a first end comprising a first matrix of holes therethrough, a second end comprising a second matrix of holes therethrough, and a longitudinal axis, wherein the first strap is configured to be removably interconnected with the first pair of female threaded inserts with its longitudinal axis at an angle offset from the first axis, a second pair of female threaded inserts in the top surface aligned along the longitudinal axis of the wakesurf board.

Claims (39)

1. A wakesurf binding system comprising:

a first pair of female threaded inserts, a second pair of female threaded inserts, and a board longitudinal axis;

the first pair of female threaded inserts aligned along a first axis, wherein the first axis is angularly offset from the board longitudinal axis by a first offset angle;

the second pair of female threaded inserts aligned along a second axis, wherein the second axis is angularly offset from the board longitudinal axis by a second offset angle;

a first strap having a longitudinal axis, a first end, and a second end;

the first end of the first strap comprising a first matrix of holes therethrough;

the second end of the first strap comprising a second matrix of holes therethrough;

wherein the first strap is configured to be removably interconnected with the first pair of female threaded inserts at a third offset angle from the board longitudinal axis that is different from the first offset angle;

wherein the first strap is configured to be removably interconnected with the second pair of female threaded inserts at a fourth offset angle from the board longitudinal axis that is different from the second offset angle; and

wherein the first offset angle is about 20 to 40 degrees and the second offset angle is about 20 to 40 degrees.

2. The wakesurf binding system of claim 1 further comprising:

a third pair of female threaded inserts aligned along the board longitudinal axis;

a second strap having a longitudinal axis, a first end, and a second end;

the first end of the second strap comprising a first matrix of holes therethrough;

the second end of the second strap comprising a second matrix of holes therethrough;

wherein the second strap is configured to be removably interconnected with the third pair of female threaded inserts at a fifth offset angle from the board longitudinal axis.

3. The wakesurf binding system of claim 1 wherein the first matrix of holes of the first strap comprises a 3 by pattern.

4. The wakesurf binding system of claim 1 wherein the second matrix of holes of the first strap comprises a 3 by pattern.

5. The wakesurf binding system of claim 2 wherein the first matrix of holes of the second strap comprises a 3 by pattern.

6. The wakesurf binding system of claim 2 wherein the second matrix of holes of the second strap comprises a 3 by pattern.

7. The wakesurf binding system of claim 1 wherein the third offset angle is about 25 to 35 degrees and the fourth offset angle is about 25 to 35 degrees.

8. The wakesurf binding system of claim 1 wherein the third offset angle is about 20 to 40 degrees and the fourth offset angle is about 20 to 40 degrees.

9. The wakesurf binding system of claim 1 wherein the third offset angle is adjustable by about 3 to 6 degrees and the fourth offset angle is adjustable by about 3 to 6 degrees.

10. The wakesurf binding system of claim 1 wherein the third offset angle is adjustable by about 1 to 9 degrees and the fourth offset angle is adjustable by about 1 to 9 degrees.

11. The wakesurf binding system of claim 2 wherein the fifth offset is adjustable by about 3 to 6 degrees.

12. The wakesurf binding system of claim 2 wherein the fifth offset is adjustable by about 1 to 9 degrees.

13. The wakesurf binding system of claim 1 wherein the first matrix of holes of the first strap comprises a 2 by pattern and the second matrix of holes of the first strap comprises a 2 by pattern.

14. The wakesurf binding system of claim 2 wherein the first matrix of holes of the second strap comprises a 2 by pattern and the second matrix of holes of the second strap comprises a 2 by pattern.

15. The wakesurf binding system of claim 1 wherein the first matrix of holes of the first strap comprises a 4 by pattern and the second matrix of holes of the first strap comprises a 4 by pattern.

16. The wakesurf binding system of claim 2 wherein the first matrix of holes of the second strap comprises a 4 by pattern and the second matrix of holes of the second strap comprises a 4 by pattern.

17. A wakesurf binding system comprising:

a wakesurf board comprising a top surface and a longitudinal axis;

a first pair of female threaded inserts in the top surface aligned along a first axis angularly offset from the longitudinal axis of the wakesurf board by a first offset angle;

a first strap having a first end comprising a first matrix of holes therethrough and a second end comprising a second matrix of holes therethrough, wherein the first strap is configured to be removably interconnected with the first pair of female threaded inserts at an angle offset from the first axis and wherein the first matrix of holes and second matrix of holes of the first strap comprises a 3 by pattern and the first matrix of holes and second matrix of holes of the second strap comprises a 3 by pattern;

a second pair of female threaded inserts in the top surface aligned along the longitudinal axis of the wakesurf board; and

a second strap having a first end comprising a first matrix of holes therethrough and a second end comprising a second matrix of holes therethrough, wherein the second strap is configured to be removably interconnected with the second pair of female threaded inserts at an angle offset from the longitudinal axis of the wakesurf board.

18. The wakesurf binding system of claim 17 wherein the first offset angle is about 20 to 40 degrees.

19. The wakesurf binding system of claim 17 wherein the first offset angle is about 25 to 35 degrees.

20. The wakesurf binding system of claim 17 wherein the first matrix of holes and second matrix of holes of the second strap comprises a 3 by pattern.
