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.

Abstract: The apparatus has front and rear floatable members. A main shaft is fixedly coupled to the rear end of the front member and extends upward wherein it has an upper portion defining a pivot axis. A connecting member is fixedly coupled to the front end of the rear member and extends forward and upward. The connecting member has a forward connecting portion comprising an aperture through which the upper portion of the main shaft extends such that the two members may turn relative to each other. Handle bars are connected to the main shaft. A seat is coupled to the rear member for supporting a person. Paddles having inner ends are coupled to a paddle shaft. A support is coupled to the front member for supporting the paddle shaft and paddles for rotation about a paddle axis transverse to the pivot axis.
