Abstract
A water sports equipment storage rack including at least one U-shaped support, a claw, a drive mechanism, and a biasing member. The claw is (i) configured to move in an outward direction and in an inward direction and (ii) rotatable about a pivot axis between an open position and a closed position. The drive mechanism is configured to linearly move the claw in the outward direction and the inward direction. The biasing member is configured to (i) impart a biasing force to rotate the claw about the pivot axis in a direction toward the closed position and (ii) reduce the biasing force as the claw approaches the end of its linear travel, allowing the claw to move to the open position.
