Abstract
An aquatic device for carrying a rider, includes a buoyant mat having handles and towing attachments. The mat has inflatable air channels which are formed to permit the mat to arch over the water, carrying the rider when towed at proper speed. One or more air channels extend transversely to the major axis along a forward portion of the mat. A rear portion has air channels which radiate out towards a peripheral air channel. The towing attachments are mounted to the forward edge of the mat.
