ABSTRACT:
The invention consists of a pair of water oaring sticks to be used in conjunction with flotation skis to be secured to the feet of a user, in order to facilitate the movement of the latter over aqueous surfaces. Each stick comprises a fixed or telescopically-extendable pole, having a handle mounted at one end and a float member at the other end to which an inclined paddle is secured. The float member acts as a reaction member when pushing on the stick; it also prevents the sinking of the stick should the latter slip from the hand of the user. The bottom surface of each floating ski includes rounded ribs, extending downwardly rearwardly therefrom, to thereby constitute a backward movement counter-acting trap. Forward movement is made possible by pushing the poles against the water and by the sliding of the skis.
