That looks crazy. As fun as it looks, i know i'd jack myself pretty good on that thing!~

how much was it??
i have seen videos of the MANTA RAY supposed to do the same thing

I did some searches and some people that have tried it say it blows the mantra away. I was actually looking for the mantra to buy when I ran across this. The MSRP is 599, but I found it for 499 at multiple places. $502.00 shipped. I haven't received it yet.

If that thing is anything like the Manta, make sure your HMO/Dental insurance is all paid up. We went straight from the Lido stack to my buddy's dentist in NB to get a new front toofus built for him. They look fun as heck, but one bad landing and your f'ed... :skull:

What speed do you tow at to get it to fly?

[Riverkid]

We were using a 38' with 500HP's... Not too fast though, they'll get up after about 28 or so IIRC... It's the down part you gotta watch out for though.

did you check out the size of the houses along the waterfront. Dammmmmm!

I am already thinking the thing is going to hurt me a couple of times, but to fly for a few minutes at a time on the water will be worth the pain. I think instead of giving the rope with the tube, they should give a helmet with it. I am already looking at those too.
