Floating water chairs ??? where to find

[wish2fish]

During raftups, I have seen some people floating on a rubbery foam float that was a a long rectangular in shape and had a slight cutout for your legs. The float looked like it was made like the same material as the old ski belts we used back in the 70's.

I have tried all kind of searches for floats and water chairs, etc and haven't come up with anything. Does anyone know the name of the product or where I can find them?

pool supply store or online...

I saw those being sold at the Marine Max store at Lake Lanier Georgia less than a month ago.

Sounds like a cool product - does it have a cup holder?

Found these - doesn't match the description but may give you a start:

TJ ours were made by these people. Ours are probably 4 or 5 yrs old & I did not see them listed on their site. May have been replaced by something else.

This may sound silly... but have any of you ever tried putting on your Type III life vest upside down? Here's the silly part... it looks like a diaper. But, it freakin' works! It holds you upright and you don't need to keep waving your hands back and forth to steady yourself.

Do a Google search on images "floating Chair?"

Also would recommend an inflatable chair for easier storage.

I think this is what you mean a saddle float. I have a couple and they work great

Wife calls them my diaper(Grin)

Neat thing about them if you are on a river or in an area with a current you can snap it to a line and not drift away from the boat.

I have something similar to these, inflatable, cup holder, easy to store, deflate, twist and put in bag,

We do this as well. I have enough crap to store on the boat! I think I need a bigger boat.

Have used them for a couple of years and given them as gifts. Very stable and comfortable for long periods of time.
