Wave Riding Vehicle

Abstract

A wave riding vehicle having a top surface, a bottom surface, a rear tail, a nose, and said tail and nose are connected by opposite left and right side rails, and the side rails extend substantially linearly from the tail and away from a central axis and then linearly extend to the nose and toward the central axis and embodiments include a central arcuate hump that transverses the top surface.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A riding vehicle comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a rear tail, a nose, and said tail and nose are connected by opposite left and right side rails,
 wherein said rear tail has a first and second end and a length,   wherein said left side rail has a first rear section that extends substantially linearly from said first end of said tail and away from a central axis running from said nose to the middle of said tail, and a second forward section of said left side rail that linearly extends to the nose and toward said central axis, and   wherein said right side has a first rear section that extends substantially linearly from said second end of said tail and away from a central axis running from said nose to the middle of said tail, and a second forward section of said right side rail that linearly extends to said nose and toward said central axis, and   wherein the length of the said first rear rail sections is longer than the length of said second forward rail sections.   
     
     
         2 . The riding vehicle of  claim 1  wherein said left and right side rails have third sections between said first rear sections and said second forward section and said third sections are parallel with each other and said central axis. 
     
     
         3 . The riding vehicle of  claim 1  wherein said vehicle is comprised of a closed cell foam that floats. 
     
     
         4 . The vehicle of  claim 1  wherein said bottom of said vehicle is substantially flat and said top surface is flat with an elevated hump portion that laterally traverses the central axis at a location in front of said rear rail sections. 
     
     
         5 . The vehicle of  claim 4  wherein said hump has an arcuate shape. 
     
     
         6 . The vehicle of  claim 4  wherein the maximum height said hump extends approximately two inches from said top surface. 
     
     
         7 . The vehicle of  claim 1  wherein said front rail section further comprises handles that extend from said second rail sections and said handles have portions that are parallel with said second forward rail sections. 
     
     
         8 . The vehicle of  claim 1  wherein said front section is provided with openings that are and parallel with the front rail sections and said openings have a length of at least 5 inches and a width of approximately 2 inches and are sized to allow a used to grasp the vehicle by extending fingers through said openings and engaged the side of the vehicle rail with the palm of the hand. 
     
     
         9 . The vehicle of  claim 1  wherein said tail has a length of between 8 and 12 inches, and the length of said vehicle, from the middle of said tail to said nose. is between 30 and 45 inches. 
     
     
         10 . The vehicle of  claim 1  wherein the shape of said vehicle resembles a kite with a truncated bottom and a rounded front nose. 
     
     
         11 . The vehicle of  claim 1  wherein said nose is substantially straight and connects said front rail sections. 
     
     
         12 . The vehicle of  claim 1  wherein said rails are configured in a 40/60 ratio. 
     
     
         13 . The vehicle of  claim 1  wherein said tail is a bat tail shape. 
     
     
         14 . The vehicle of  claim 1  wherein said tail extends straight from the opposite ends of the rear rail sections. 
     
     
         15 . The vehicle of  claim 1  wherein said tail extends in an arc to join the opposite ends of the rear rail sections.
