Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a device for converting a personal watercraft into a water checkpoint configuration. The device includes a plurality of attachments, such as water shield attachment assembly, support rods, fabric sleeves, clear shield sections, attachment flap, and shield fastener. These attachments can be removably attached to the watercraft's hull using quick release locks. The water shield attachment assembly attaches to the watercraft with a shield fastener and a stripe that attaches to the hull. The device allows for easy and quick conversion of the watercraft into a water checkpoint configuration.

Problems solved by technology

Other shields that are in existence are cumbersome, and permanently fixed to the personal watercraft preventing the personal watercraft to be used as it was designed to be used.
