CA 2223343
A personal watercraft or "water walker" has two independent elongated, narrow floats. One float can be worn on each leg of a user. Each float has an oarlock mounted on a support. The oarlocks each hold an oar. The supports hold the oarlocks in front of the user's body, above outer edges of the floats. The user can glide across the surface of a body of water with an action similar to cross country skiing. The oars prevent backslip of the non-striding float. The water walker uses both arm and leg propulsion, and thus can provide a user with all around exercise. The floats may each have a main float body coupled to a smaller pontoon. Such floats provide good tracking without requiring the user to adopt an uncomfortably wide stance. The watercraft may optionally have a cross member for linking the two floats together in a parallel spaced apart relationship. A seat is located on the cross member. The watercraft may then be rowed like a standard row boat.
