ABSTRACT:
An improved watercraft and seat design increases the ability of the rider of a small watercraft to maintain his or her position in the watercraft while sitting in a rearward facing direction. The watercraft includes a contoured seat having a protrusion that divides the seat into forward and rearward seat sections. Upwardly inclined surfaces on the protrusion inhibit movement of the riders on the seat in either forward or rearward directions. The seat also includes a roughened upper surface texture with generally smooth surface textures on the sides of the seat. This provides additional traction to the seated rider without irritating or chafing the rider's legs. Handles are also provided for the rider's use, when seated in both a forward-facing and a rearward-facing direction.
