摘要:
An apparatus for floatation and propulsion of a user on a body of water, with the user in a standing position, includes two pontoons, a mechanical connection of the pontoons and a propulsion system responsive to vertical articulation of the pontoons.
摘要:
A water walking apparatus having two inflatable pontoons, each with respective holes in their top surfaces for a footwell. A platform support may expand and contract when in use so as to accommodate variable spacing between the pontoons. The platform support may include curved saddle, which straddles over the curved outer surface of a pontoon, securing the platform support to the pontoons. A platform upon which a user may sit may be connected to the platform support by a neck received into a hole in the bottom of the platform. The platform may include a backrest member, and a strap that may serve as a ladder step when the backrest member is rotated rearwardly and down, into the water to allow a user to step on the continuous strap and climb up onto the platform.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for surf skiing. The method includes attaching a surf ski to each foot of a surf skier and using the force and momentum of a wave alone to propel the surf skier.
摘要:
A personal water transport assembly for allowing a user to walk and move easily upon water. The personal water transport assembly includes a floatation assembly including one or more elongate hollow floatation members having top, side, and bottom walls, and also having a foot-receiving slot being centrally-disposed in the top wall for receiving a user's foot; and also includes an assembly of moving the one or more elongate hollow floatation members upon water.

A water toy includes a bumper ball having open ends and inner and outer walls separatable by an air space. Users enter and exit the ball through either or both of the open ends. The ball can be rotated by the occupant moving in one direction in it, as by walking. An open-ended cover, into which the ball is inserted deflated, contains fins on its exterior for interacting with water as the cover rotates when the ball is rotated. The cover also mounts a tow harness for connection to a boat tow rope, and the fins act to restrain spinning as the toy is towed through water.

A water walking apparatus has a pair of buoyant platforms with a pair of sidewalls attached to the top surface of each of the buoyant platforms. Removable, inflatable buoyant pontoons are secured to the buoyant platforms through flexible sleeves secured to the sidewalls. The pontoons provide adjustable degrees of buoyancy to allow the user to walk on water. The pontoons have footwells into which the user inserts his foot, resting the foot on the buoyant platform and the foot is secured in place by the addition of air pressure to the pontoon. The buoyant platform has paddles mounted on its bottom surface which rotate rearwardly when the user moves the apparatus forward, thus reducing resistance to forward movement. The paddles rotate forward against a specially structured stop whenever there is any backward or slipping motion of the apparatus thus resisting any backward movement of the apparatus.

A floatation device with propeller drive assembly and steerable rudder for use with any standard bicycle frame allowing an individual the ability to have a self propelled water craft. The device utilizes a standard bicycle, having only the wheels removed, to provide power and steering. The bicycle is mounted to the floatation device with the chain wrapped around the chain drive sprocket of the propeller drive assembly. Because the chain drive sprocket is a standard shimano sprocket, the bicycle's rear derailer may be used to shift gears. The operator may pedal the device across a body of water, then remove the bicycle frame and remount the tires to continue travel over land.
