  • Patent number: 5425322
    Abstract: The portable folding personal water craft mooring standoff comprises an apparatus which will provide a platform upon which a personal water craft may be moored above a water line when it is not in use. The apparatus is comprised of two main components which are fully transportable for use in shallow water off the shore. The apparatus is transported to the water, assembled, and then a personal water craft can be propelled onto the stand for temporary above water mooring. Once the water craft is to be used again, a rider mounts the water craft and uses weight and momentum to release the craft from the mooring and back into the water.
