Too cool for words must have!!!

Forget jet skis - forget towed toys - forget paragliders - you just HAVE to get one of these!!!



Hurry up though - it is bound to be banned - people actually enjoy it!!!



40mph and 180 miles range - mad - a bargain at $128,000............

If you had quoted $ 128.00 I would call it a bargain. Maybe.

Looks like fun until the base unit hits a wave or two and has its water supply cut off momentarily

Pulling up at the local waterside pub wouldn't go down too well.

Looks like fun for around 15mins until the novelty wears off.
I can think of ways of using $128000 and having much more fun for it.........

I reckon it could come down quite a bit with mass production -= it's hardly rocket science.......

Could probably modify a jetski!!!
