Abstract:
A buoy assembly for use in water activities includes a shell that defines an interior space. The interior space is substantially empty so that the shell is buoyant. A net is positioned around and coupled to the shell. Each of opposing ends of a line is coupled to the net. A fastener, which is slidably coupled to the line, defines a wrist loop that is positioned distal from the shell. The fastener is selectively fixedly couplable to the line so that the fastener is positioned to be selectively slid on the line toward a wrist of user that is positioned in the wrist loop. The fastener is positioned to fixedly couple to the line to couple the shell to the user.

Claim (Index 10):
A buoy assembly comprising:\n a shell defining an interior space, said interior space being substantially empty wherein said shell is buoyant; a net positioned around said shell such that said net is coupled to said shell; an opening positioned in said net wherein said opening is positioned for selectively inserting said shell into said net; a cord coupled to said net, said cord extending around a circumference of said opening; a cord coupler slidably coupled to said cord, said cord coupler being selectively fixedly couplable to said cord wherein said cord coupler is positioned for sliding on said cord for decreasing said circumference of said opening positioning said cord coupler for fixedly coupling to said cord for coupling said net to said shell, said cord coupler comprising a cord lock; a line having opposing ends, each said opposing end being coupled to said net, said opposing ends being coupled to said cord such that said opposing ends are substantially opposingly positioned on said circumference of said opening; a fastener slidably coupled to said line defining a wrist loop distal from said shell, said fastener being selectively fixedly couplable to said line wherein said fastener is positioned for selectively sliding on said line toward a wrist of user positioned in said wrist loop positioning said fastener for fixedly coupling to said line for coupling said shell to the user, said fastener comprising a cord fastener; a first rope, said first rope being circular wherein said first rope is configured for loopedly positioning around a substrate; a rope coupler slidably coupled to said first rope defining a pair of tether loops, said rope coupler being selectively fixedly couplable to said first rope wherein one of said tether loops is configured for positioning around the substrate positioning said rope coupler for sliding on said first rope toward the substrate, positioning said rope coupler for fixedly coupling to said first rope for coupling said first rope to the substrate, said rope coupler comprising a cord toggle; a second rope, said second rope being circular; and a pair of clips coupled to said second rope wherein one of said clips is positioned for selectively coupling to said wrist loop and the other of said clips is positioned for selectively coupling to said first rope for coupling said shell to the substrate, each said clip comprising a carabiner positioned around said second rope.
