Abstract: The invention disclosed herein is a universally adaptable, collapsible, adjustable boom designed for selective attachment and detachment to any configuration of a boat tower, and which provides multiple support points to counteract the downward force exerted by a water sport participant. Attachment and detachment of the boom is efficiently accomplished with the use of adjustable clamps and lynch pins, and the boom further secured by a cabling system.

Abstract: An elevated tow device comprised of: first and second substantially vertical support members, each slidably and pivotally engaging a boat support structure on a lower end and forming an apex on an upper end, the height and width of which can be adjusted; a tether attachment point at the apex adapted to mechanically engage a tether for connecting to a towed object; at least one forestay connecting the device to a bow of the boat; and at least one rear stay connecting the device to the boat support structure, the forestay and rear stay providing stability to the device. Because of the way that the device is connected to the boat support structure, the device is adjustable in height and width and is also collapsible.

Abstract: The wake behind a water vessel may be enhanced for wake boarding or water skiing by providing a fluid fillable chair in the rear of the water vessel to act as ballast so as to increase the wake of the water vessel. As the water vessel moves through the water, the towed individual experiences an increased wake, thereby improving enjoyment of the activity. In a preferred embodiment, the chair of the present invention includes a seat portion and a back portion and wherein the seat portion is adapted to be filled with a volume of water. The back may be filled with water or air. By filling at least the seat portion with water, the weight of the chair is increased such that when the chair is positioned in the rear portion of a boat, a relatively large wake may be created as the boat moves through a body of water.
