Abstract:
The apparatus has front and rear floatable members pivotally coupled together such that the two members may turn relative to each other. A seat is coupled to the rear member for supporting a person. Paddles are coupled to a paddle shaft supported by the front member. Pedals are coupled to the paddle shaft for rotating the paddles shaft and hence the paddles for movement of the paddles through the water for moving the apparatus in the water. In the preferred embodiment, a paddle support member is coupled to opposite ends of the paddle shaft and paddles are coupled to the outward sides of the paddle support members. In another embodiment, two rods are pivotally coupled to opposite sides of the rear end of the front member respectively. Paddles are coupled to the lower ends of the two rods respectively. Each of the paddles includes two plate members pivotally coupled to the lower end of its rod.
