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?

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.

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.
