Abstract: A stand suitable for attachment to a floatable or inflatable structure, for supporting an upright, comprising: first and second arcuate sections, curving in opposed directions; a hollow tubular support for receiving the upright; wherein the hollow tubular support is located between said first and second arcuate sections and connected to each of said sections. Preferably, the stand also includes a central support having a top side and a bottom side; wherein said hollow tubular support is located on said top side of said central support and extends substantially perpendicular to said central support; and said tubular support is connected to said first and second arcuate sections on the bottom side of said central support.

Abstract: An inflatable water sports board rack (100) is described. The inflatable water sports board rack (100) comprises: an inflatable tube comprising multiple paired inflatable uprights (110) with gaps between the uprights (110) configured to receive at least one water sports board there between; wherein the inflatable tube comprises an inflation valve (125) for inflating the inflatable water sports board rack (100). A modular inflatable docking system as a kit of parts is also described, comprising the inflatable water sports board rack (100) as a pair of single inflatable retainers (400) and at least one of: a floatable or inflatable platform to be coupled thereto.

Abstract: An inflatable water-based motorised device docking station is described. The inflatable water-based motorised device docking station includes an inflatable tube configurable to form an open ended area to receive a water-based motorised device; a floor area coupled to a portion of the inflatable tube; and a ballast bag with dump attached to the floor area and configured to stabilise the inflatable water-based motorised device docking station.

Abstract: A method of manufacture (200) of an inflatable product with an attachable foam finish is described that includes modifying (202) a molecular structure of at least one foam sheet; gluing (206) a flexible, glueable or weldable material onto the modified at least one foam sheet to create a bonded structure; and gluing (220) the bonded structure to the inflatable product.
