That looks like fun, but it also looks INSANE.. as in, you have to be a little to ride it.

true.. dont need much wind... if you drive into the wind.. this tube soars in the air.. yes it is crazy... we had already wakebaorded all day... it was glass.. we had to try the tube to see if it actually worked... it does as you can see.

Don't some boarders get up 10-15ft?

Most of the height is controlled by the speed and the wind.. which is the control of the driver. It is dangerous when cross winds occur. Drive straight into the wind. I bought one because I wanted to see if this thing would actually fly. If you look at my pic... the tube is 12 feet diameter. So the tube is a good 15 feet off the water and was not even at the apex yet. It will get up to twice its diameters height, and if a cross wind hits, you get pretty squirrly up there. Be careful when trying one! It is a great feeling to be flying in the air... once you get the hang of it... you can fly for a while...
