That's less expensive than some of the boats we have around here.

It seems rather ridiculous to me. You are still tethered to a "vessel" below if I am understanding it correctly. When the technology gets to the point that you are not tied to anything below and can fly free (like in the old James Bond movie) then I am buying!

very cool.
I wonder how much noise it makes? The pilot???? doesn't seem to need any ear protection. Last edited by rander7823; 04-20-2009 at 02:56 PM. |

An alternative
Well that's pretty cool but since you are tethered to the water vehicle I might want one of these and a parasail instead of the skis, board or foil. That way when the power quits or the gas runs out I can make a soft landing.
In either case one has to wonder whether the MP will consider you a form of towed "tuber" and thus require an observer.
