ABSTRACT:
An inflatable aquatic device is disclosed comprising in combination plural aquatic members each having a plurality of flexible gas chambers for containing a gas and providing buoyancy. Each of the plural aquatic members includes a rigid frame having a plate region and a plurality of supports extending relative to the plate region. A system is provided for securing the rigid frame to the flexible gas chambers establishing plural substantially rigid aquatic members. Connectors interconnect the plural aquatic members to allow only limited relative movement therebetween. The invention may include a fabric material adapted to encompass the flexible gas chamber means having a plurality of fabric apertures for receiving the plurality of supports extending from the plate regions. The supports may include plural telescoping tubing members extending from the plate region to enable the pneumatic device to be stored in a relatively small area. The aquatic device may be fashioned as a pair of pontoon-like elements with the plate region adapted to receive the operator's feet. The invention may include a pair of paddles specifically configured for use by the operator in the standing position for directional control and locomotion.
