  • Patent number: 12722746
    Abstract: The invention described herein relates to an automatic submersible water sports course system comprising expandable buoys interconnected within an anchored network of non-buoyant airlines, operated by an air control system featuring a vacuum pressure pump. The vacuum pressure pump is capable of both collapsing and sinking the buoys below the water surface or expanding and raising them to the water surface. When deployed these buoys have a predetermined shape, size, height, and softness. This configuration offers skiers a consistent and precise water sports course, thereby reducing falls and enhancing safety. One embodiment of the present invention comprises airline which is configured for strength and forms a tensioned hose network used to precisely orient buoys at the water surface. The present invention provides a water sports course which is lighter weight, has fewer parts, and can be easily lifted above the water surface for maintenance and repair.
