BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Inflatable devices for recreational use in water are well known in the art. Typically, prior art inflatable devices comprise a hollow inflatable body configured to have different shapes, such as animals, rafts and the like. A user normally inflates the inflatable device and may use it as a floatation apparatus while swimming in a pool. However, such inflatable devices lack any type of means for propelling and steering the inflatable device around the pool area in order to enhance the experience of the user. [0004] Accordingly, there is a need in the art for an inflatable water cruising device comprising an inflatable body adapt...
