## Abstract

A hull assembly is configured to transport a human user in water. The hull assembly includes a bow, having a bow concave portion. A port hull is joined to the bow. The port hull is adopted to accommodate a first foot of a human user. A starboard hull is joined to the bow and offset from the port hull by the bow concave portion. The starboard hull is adapted to accommodate a second foot of the human user. When a first port hull weight varies from a second port hull weight, the first port hull vertically deflects relative to the second port hull to increase the balance and stability of the human user and increase maneuverability of the vessel.

## Claims
