ABSTRACT:
A water walker for enabling an individual to walk upon water including a pair of elongated buoyant water walker assemblies which can be attached to the feet of the user. Each assembly includes a buoyant flotation member which has a runner longitudinally extending along a substantial portion of the bottom of the buoyant member. The runner has a hollow section which is open at both longitudinal ends and is closed at the bottom by a cover member, thereby forming an effective jet water chamber through the hollow chamber. A control mechanism is arranged within this hollow section of the runner and is movable between a first position allowing water to pass through the hollow section when the assembly is moved in a forward direction and a second position blocking the passage of water through the hollow chamber and hence preventing slippage of the assembly in a rearward direction.
