A leash and information system assembly includes a flexible strap, a
flexible tether cord, a data processing module, and a display module. The
flexible strap and the flexible tether cord connect a water sports
vehicle to a user of the water sports vehicle. The flexible tether cord
is connected to the flexible strap and the second end is configured and
dimensioned to connect to the water sports vehicle. The tether cord width
is substantially less than the strap width and the tether cord length is
substantially greater than the strap length. The data processing module
is mounted within a water-proof enclosure and positioned along one of the
flexible strap, the flexible tether cord, and the water sports vehicle.
The data processing module is configured with logic to receive, parse,
process, and output data generated by a source external to the data
processor. The display module is mounted within a water-proof enclosure
and positioned along the flexible strap and in electrical communication
with the data processing module. The display module includes a plurality
of display symbols representing at least one of time, atmospheric weather
conditions, water conditions, and global positioning. The display module
is configured with logic to receive, process data communicated from the
data processing module to convey the data to the user by activating at
least one of the display symbols.
