Claim:
An apparatus used for walking and resting on water comprising: two inflatable pontoons each having a top and bottom surface with respective holes on the top surface for a footwell and for a plurality of platform support sleeves, the footwell extending longitudinally lengthwise along a portion of each respective pontoon, and each footwell being defined by side walls extending vertically downward into each respective pontoon so as to receive a respective foot of a user into the footwell during use; a plurality of footwell supports sealed perpendicular to the side walls of the footwell so as to extend between an inside surface of the side wall and an inside surface of the pontoon, the footwell supports being disposed within the pontoon to either side of the footwell, below a top of the hole for the footwell in the top surface of the pontoon; a plurality of D-rings sealed to the outside side walls of each pontoon for the purpose of attaching a stretch cord in between the two pontoons, a platform support that expands and contracts when in use so as to accommodate variable spacing between the pontoons while connecting the pontoons together, the platform support comprising a horizontal sliding tube received within a horizontal holding tube, the sliding tube withdrawing from the holding tube as the pontoons are moved apart and the sliding tube advancing within the holding tube as the pontoons are moved towards one another so that the platform support is automatically adjustable in width to accommodate a variable distance between the pontoons; a platform including a top, and bottom, with lower and upper compartments, wherein a top section of the platform opens and closes with the assistance of a user, so as to allow a user to sit on the platform; and wherein each platform support further comprises a neck and a cap, an underside of the platform comprising corresponding holes which are the lower compartment into which a neck and cap of a corresponding platform support are received so as to hold down and secure the platform to the platform supports while allowing the platform to ride freely above the platform supports as the neck and cap rotate freely within the lower compartment of the platform.
