When Doug Masi, the inventor of “The FloatnThang™”, (short name), received an email regarding entering his new invention into the Response Expo held in San Diego, CA, he immediately submitted the details on his brand new invention that has never been on the market before. That was one of the main requirements to be considered for the event. Within a few days, he received confirmation that the Float’n & Boat’n Thang™ was accepted into the UIA (United Inventors Association) pavilion! The pavilion featured over 24 new inventions.

On Wednesday, the inventors were judged and questioned about their inventions. Only 3 winners would be selected to go on live TV (Fox 5 morning show) to present their invention to all the viewers. The Amazing  FloatnThang took one of those honors! Each inventor was given the opportunity to pitch the audience.   “We were told we would have about 30 seconds, which was not that easy”, said Doug Masi. They were tracked by a live timer.  Raoul Martinez (Fox 5 anchor) was very humorous and commented how he loved the name. He pronounced it perfectly!

The FloatnThang makes it easy for users to relax in the water while sitting upright, or floating completely on your back. Equipped with two convenient cup holders, the device can also be used on a paddleboard as a seat and offers a place to hold your beverages. It can also be used as a booster seat in a boat or used as a temporary boat bumper when docking or tying up with other boats. The FloatnThang can be used while paddle-boarding, kayaking, boating, and swimming at the lake or pool. The comfortable cushioned backrest and dual cup holders make it convenient for poolside or beach use.   One of my favorite features is having 2 beverage holders for any location including the poolside lounge chairs, particularly when there is no table nearby.   

The buzz regarding the FloatnThang™ started in early April at the Lake Havasu, AZ boat show.

impressed by the fact that the FloatnThang does not have to be inflated and does not absorb water, allowing it to dry very quickly. Even in high temperatures, it stays cool to the touch!
