Abstract
A portable personal floatation device for water sports such as fishing and the like is constructed of a light material such as styrofoam and has a horizontal main panel with an opening for a user to fit through so the floatation device surrounds the user. The device is designed to be easily accessible for the user, with a door provided on a side panel. The central opening in the main panel of the device accommodates the occupant to carry the device and wade into the water, and as the device begins to float, the occupant may sit on the main panel of the device.
