jump on for a rest

Walkthrough of a beginning builds johnnyfloat.

Fire skin johnnyfloat .

This particular johnnyfloat has been sold.  It came

fully equipped with anchor bridle, flag mount and flag, drain holes , 4 tie down points , and a waterproof denier tactical fabric bottom.  Really fun build.  

Where it all started… recycle, reuse, and handmade

The OG Johnnyfloat

These were two bodyboards next to the dumpster .  I could envision what I needed in the water on my dive.  I did a little cutting and bolting and there it was. The first johnnyfloat. i knew it would be very light , durable, and inexpensive.  But to my surprise it had  little to no drag in the water, tracks amazing

  

Grab a snack, talk story, check the gps, and cruise.

Transporting to the next spot.

Traveling spot y to spot, heading out , heading in.  Anyway you’re headed take a breather , remove your mask/snorkel.  This is a great time to drink some water  or eat a power bar .  

Bolted together .

Original first johnnyfloat

This is a two piece johnnyfloat .  I still use this one 2  years later .   I’m probably about a qtr mile out in this particular dive. Plus gotta fish to fry going in the cooler.  All blood out of the water.

Coming home from the dive

dive session is a little more easy and pleasant with a johnnyfloat.    This float is

8.45 lbs.  43 inches long.  Very rigid and buoyant are its specialty features . 

Ride and hold on tight.

Take a break on your way in.

johnnyfloats are rigid enough to catch waves with all your gear. Make sure to secure everything just in case.   

This was a great board designed back in early 2025.

Drain holes placed strategically above water line

Custom Drain holes in countersunk center of johnnyfloat

Johnnyfloats with a contained countersunk center have custom drain holes strategically placed above the water line to allow water that may have crashed over the top or somehow got in to exit .

2nd ‘ Keiki’ Johnnyfloat, 32x 15 x 3.5 inch , 2.5 lbs

Smaller , portable float ,  its got a closed tail creating a contained countersunk center .  This one is perfect for towing behind you on a leisurely snorkel or swim with your cell phone, water/snacks, first aid kit, and vhf or beacon.  

4 floats in lbs.

Weights of early Johnnyfloats

most if not all johnnyfloats are less than 10 lbs.  the average is about 4-6 lbs.   Keeping them light as possible is a priority for ease and convenience.  

Counter sunk center for hauling light gear or objects

32 “ by 15 “ - estimated 3 lbs , foam, light, and durable

possiblities of use in the water are endless. 

Getting out to spots where the rewards are at.

One of my abosulte favorite shots on the almighty trevally

This shot was taken about a 1/4 mile out.  It was a great hunting ambush.  Super grateful for getting to watch this ‘ tough ‘ fish  come over the top of me .   Getting out here on my float and having all my gear needed to be safe allows me to be in these situations every now and then.
