ABSTRACT:
A water saddle is formed of a unitary member of expanded plastic such as polystyrene having closed cells on it surface. The saddle includes a center seat located between end sections. The center of the seat portion is narrower than the end sections and includes tapered surfaces to be grasped by a riders legs which extend to a bottom surface which curves downwardly from one end section to a maximum depth below the seat portion and them upwardly to the other end section. The saddle is designed such that the center of buoyancy of the combined saddle and rider is significantly below the surface of the water, leaving the rider's arms, shoulders and head out of the water.
