Abstract

The present invention provides a towable aquatic airborne vehicle having an inflated base ring with a top sheet and a bottom sheet attached to the top and bottom sides of the ring to form a non-inflated closed chamber. A cockpit section extends in from te interior side of the back end of the base ring and includes a pair of spaced foot troughs that receive the rider's feet, and a number of handgrips are attached adjacent the cockpit. Transparent window sections are located in the top and bottom sheets adjacent the front end of the base ring. When towed at high speeds, the front end of the vehicle rises up and the entire vehicle becomes airborne with the rider gripping the handgrips and looking ahead through the window sections.

       35 . A towable aquatic airborne vehicle, comprising: 
 an inflated base ring having an interior side, an exterior side, a top side, a bottom side, a front end, a back end, and a central area circumscribed by the interior side;    a top sheet attached to the top side of the base ring and disposed to extend across the central area of the base ring;    a bottom sheet attached to the bottom side of the base ring and disposed to extend across the central area of the base ring;    wherein the top sheet, the bottom sheet, and the interior side of the base ring form a closed chamber enclosing the central area; and    a cockpit section extending inwardly from the interior side of the base ring at the back end of the base ring, wherein the cockpit section includes a pair of spaced foot troughs extending forward from the back end of the base ring.    
   
   
       36 . The vehicle of  claim 35  wherein the closed chamber is non-inflated.  
   
   
       37 - 38 . (canceled)  
   
   
       39 . The vehicle of  claim 35 , wherein a plurality of spaced handgrips are attached adjacent the cockpit section.  
   
   
       40 . The vehicle of  claim 35 , further including a transparent window section located in each of the top and bottom sheets adjacent the front end of the base ring.  
   
   
       41 . The vehicle of  claim 36 , further including a transparent window section located in each of the top and bottom sheets adjacent the front end of the base ring.  
   
   
       42 . The vehicle of  claim 35  further including a transparent window section located in each of the top and bottom sheets adjacent the front end of the base ring.  
   
   
       43 . The vehicle of  claim 35 , further including a transparent window section located in each of the top and bottom sheets adjacent the front end of the base ring.  
   
   
       44 . The vehicle of  claim 39 , further including a transparent window section located in each of the top and bottom sheets adjacent the front end of the base ring.
