We got the rubber ring out last weekend and it battered me half to death so I've decided I need something even madder

We went on rubber rings as well in cyprus 2 up, I swear the bloke driving the sppedboat was trying to kill us went on this weird yellow thing which actually flew like in the video but you hed your feet strapped in. best one was the molecule though 3 people holding on for dear life until we hit the wake of a ferry. We must have been thrown 10 feet in the air

Class - want one of them - bet it hurts when you fall off though - this is also good - http://www.marinescene.co.uk/product/1741/sumo. if you lose control you just keep spinning until you let go - generally you are sooooo dizzy that you forget to let go.


How come wives just don't understand inflatable toys

That is just mental! Would love to have a go on one of those. Wonder how high you can get them as I expect there would be big pain coming off when airborne!

Went on a similar thing last sept in Zante. Was called a flying fish and took off at speed and flew behind the boat. Not quite at those heights though. My arms were killing after 15 mins on that. We had a guy photographing us for the advertising for this beach so had to do the obligatory wave which meant holding on with one arm.

I cant imagine that being offered to tourists etc as looks pretty dangerous if you were to fall off.

I have a big 4 man donut which tends to take off if you are in it on your own. Wifey had me about 30ft above water level at one point. Emma was spotting and from 80ft away I could hear her gleefully scream 'hes flying, hes flying', (she was supposed to shout 'stop' ) wifey looks back, kieghs and knocks off the throttle. large donut drops like a stone, hits the water and stops.... FB drops like a stone, hits the donut and stops equally suddenly. I think falling off is the easy option - Its just really really difficult to allow yourself to fall off....

p.s. - It might have been 18 inches above water level, but the size of the impact and the way Emma tells the story it had to be 30 ft

They feel under appreciated Fast Bloke, lack of confidence usually.

I used to tow a smaller version behind my jetski, although I'm not convinced that any of my mates (or me) actually took off and stayed in the air!
