i have seen quite a few of these recently. they look alright, but not a whole lot of fun to me. i would rather be on a jet ski

edit: nevermind, never seen one of these! very cool!! i was thinkin about something different.

wow I want one, thats just crazy like a jet bike or sumin. I would definelty buy one if I lived near a lake, but as I don't I think il have to leave it

do u recon I could hire one of these?

Posted by axxxr
not sure if you can hire these in the U.K?

Their are a few lakes around where i live and jetskis are available to hire at a couple of these locations..I can see this being very popular if it was introduced,so much more fun than the machine powered ones i reckon.

Posted by EastCoastStar
i think machiene powered would be more fun. this would be awesome! adn ALOT cheaper, but if they were the same price, i would get a machiene powered one.

when you guys say for "hire", does that mean for "rent" as we would say over here? like you rent something to use for a few hours, then return it?

lol yep that was a bit of a tangent. I gota say its weird how you gota jump on it to get it going and if you stop jumping you sink

Posted by EastCoastStar
i wonder if when it sinks its hard o get back up

Posted by axxxr
I also see this as a very good form of excercise aswell,i've noticed in the VIDEO that it does'nt require a lot of regular pushing to keep it afloat.



Posted by EastCoastStar
@axxxr, i think thats becuase the wave was pushing him. look towards the end, people stop and it sinks.
