Abstract: A backpack is manipulable between a first configuration facilitating carrying by a user and a second configuration serving as a chair. The backpack comprises first and second sections, each defining a first and second surfaces and each including a pair of inwardly foldable wings. A web of fabric material flexibly couples the first section to the second section so that the two sections can be manipulated between the aforementioned configurations. A closure mechanism retains the first surface of the first section and the first surface of the second section in facing relation, following inward folding of the first and second pairs of wings and manipulation of the backpack into the first configuration, but is releasable to facilitate manipulation of the first section relative to the second section to thereby obtain a desired angle of recline therebetween.

Abstract: A paddleboard storage and seat support assembly stores items on a paddleboard, supports a person in an upright seated position on the paddleboard, and provides support for carrying the paddleboard while walking. The assembly includes a panel and a cord having a first end and a second end. Each of the first end and the second end is coupled to a respective end of the panel. Each of a pair of foot straps is couplable to the panel such that respective looped ends of the foot straps are positioned in spaced relationship to the panel for engaging feet of a user while the panel is positioned against a back of the user such that the panel supports the back of the user in an upright seated position.

Abstract: A paddleboard storage and seat support assembly attaches to a paddleboard to store items while also being convertible to a support while in a seated position on the paddleboard. The assembly includes a panel having opposite ends and a straps. The straps are selectively couplable to the panel wherein the panel is positionable to abut a back of a person in an upright position while the person is seated on a paddleboard. The straps have a length wherein the straps extend from the opposite ends of the panel and are couplable to at least one foot of the person wherein the straps holds the panel in abutment with the back of the person. The straps may also couple the panel to a paddleboard allowing items to be held on the paddleboard by the panel and straps.
