If I am not mistaken, A very simliar one was being
sold at that SD boat show. And I also heard
that Wakesports Unlimited in SD and OC are selling them now. Cost is about $500.
Saw the video at the boat show, and it looked bad ass!!!

Kind of like this one? This is from Flying Fish, but I believe it is the same type you are talking about. Looks like fun!!

That is bitchin (80's flash back)!I can already see law enforcement looking for some current law to ban those or write a new one. Most So. Cal. lakes already do not allow tubing because you can't steer it.

Someone should make a tube that is a glider. Something you can fly in the air and divebomb in the water.

Dane, check the first link.

That looks crazy fun for powell. Just make sure the tipsies where their life jackets.

The Manta is the new flying tube. It isn't even out yet and should be available in about 2 weeks. Wakesports Unlimited is carrying them and will be ordering them up but a lot of the order is already spoken for. There is a whole Extreme DVD for the two seater flying tube, being able to catch and float in about 8ft of air, looks amazing!

Also, try Boats in Bags in Irvine.

Toll free number is 1-800-500-2404. They ship all over the world. Saw the video at the LA Boat Show...looks like a blast. I think Jason is the guy to ask for.

I wonder if these things will be regulated soon?
