ABSTRACT:
A flotation device includes an elongate buoyant body and an outwardly extending seat disposed intermediate first and second longitudinal ends of the buoyant body. The flotation device is configured to buoyantly support a user in both a reclining and a sitting position. In the reclining position, the body is disposed in a substantially flat configuration. In the sitting position, the body is substantially bent adjacent the seat for at least partially supporting the trunk of the user, and the seat extends between the legs of the user for abuttingly supporting the crotch of the user. The seat is provided with an oar coupling assembly for operatively coupling an oar thereto. The buoyant body is further provided with a solidifying component that extends outwardly from the body to act as a keel when the body is in the reclined position.
