## Abstract

A method of making an aquaplane is provided. The method includes flattening a fabric layer and a bottom layer with a waterproof characteristic, where the pull-string layer has a first pull-string layer, a second pull-string layer and multiple pull lines, one end of the pull line holds the first pull-string layer, and the other end of the pull line holds the second pull-string layer; using a roller laminates the fabric layer, the pull-string layer and the bottom layer, where a portion surface of the fabric layer and the bottom layer are melted, and respectively mixed with the surface gluing of the first pull-string layer and the second pull-string layer to produce a fixed microstructure; and cutting a shape of the aquaplane from the lamination of the fabric layer, the pull-string layer, and the bottom layer.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An aquaplane device comprising:
a fabric layer having a waterproof characteristic;
a bottom layer having the waterproof characteristic;
a pull-string layer having an airtight characteristic and including a first pull-string layer, a second pull-string layer and a plurality of pull lines, a portion of a material on a surface of the fabric layer having a first fixed microstructure defined by a mixture containing a glue and a melted fabric layer to fixate the fabric layer to the first pull-string layer, and a portion of a material on a surface of the bottom layer having a second microstructure defined by a mixture containing a glue and a melted bottom layer to fixate the bottom layer to the second pull-string layer; and
an inflatable hole, for guiding an air into an inflatable chamber between the first pull-string layer and the second pull-string layer, after inflating the inflatable chamber, the plurality of the pull lines holding the first pull-string layer and the second pull-string layer to make the inflatable chamber keep a predetermined shape of the aquaplane device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The aquaplane device of claim 1, wherein the materials of the fabric layer and the bottom layer are PVC.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The aquaplane device of claim 1, wherein the surface of the fabric layer and the bottom layer have embossed lines to strengthen structural intensities of the fabric layer and the bottom layer.
