Abstract: A biomechanically adapted dual direction sportsboard. This stance-specific sportsboard accommodates a rider's stance, whether they are a “regular-foot” or a “goofy-foot.” This stance-accommodating dual direction sportsboard allows the rider much greater control since the board accommodates the specific biomechanics of the rider's dominant stance, whether their preference is to ride with their left foot in front or their right foot in front. The dual direction sportsboard has rails which are offset from each other, which allows for a rider with fixed foot positions to significantly change the trim of the board by shifting from heel-side rail to toe-side rail or back to heel-side rail. This provides the rider much greater control over the board while performing surfing-style maneuvers, especially with the board attached to their feet. Additionally, for kiteboarding, the offset rails allow for greater windward ability than with legacy designs.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides generally for a hydrofoil system that may allow a surfboard to glide above the water surface. According to the present disclosure, a rider may be able to manipulate a hydrofoil device attached to a surfboard with limited training and athletic ability. The present disclosure provides for a hydrofoil system that may allow riders to use a light leaning motion to adjust the angle of a front wing to create forward thrust to produce a flow for creating lift. In some aspects, the front wing may tilt to reduce downward drag force in a lifting phase while locking into place during a glide to provide a sustained lift of the surfboard out of the water.
