Abstract:
A watersports paddle includes an elongated handle body having a first material, a biased member having a second material more flexible than the first material such that the biased member is more flexible than the elongated handle body, and a paddle blade coupled to the biased member opposite the elongated handle body. The biased member deforms when a force is applied to the biased member with the elongated handle body by pulling the paddle blade through water and reforms when the force is not applied to the biased member by the elongated handle body to store and release energy during use of the watersports paddle. The biased member may be a substantially planar leaf spring or a bowed leaf spring.

Claim (Index 17):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a shafted body; a non-linear biased member coupled to the shafted body, the non-linear biased member extending from a first side of the shafted body and not crossing a plane collinear with an axis of the shafted body more than once in a total length of the non-linear biased member such that the non-linear biased member deforms when a force is applied to the non-linear biased member by the shafted body and reforms when the force is not applied to the non-linear biased member by the shafted body to store and release energy; and a coupling member configured to couple the shafted body to the non-linear biased member, wherein the coupling member comprises a first leg and a second leg, and wherein the first leg is coupled to the shafted body and the second leg is coupled to a first end of the non-linear biased member.
