Abstract
A device for traversing water is disclosed that has a left and a right-foot hull and a pair of propulsion poles with attached propulsion pontoons. The propulsion poles are shaped and sized so that a person standing upright can use them to propel themselves across water. The underside of each hull has kick-forward plates that allow the hull to move unimpeded in one direction but not the other. A rail is connected near the inner edge of one hull, and a the rail follower fixed to the other hull, and slidably connected to the rail allow the hulls to more relative to each other in a direction parallel to their long axis.
