I know, it looks unsafe, but I still want to try one of these.

Commercial advertisement & the under aged riders with no PFDs.................WoW!

I saw a couple those old dogs in Opaloka laying round couple years back, and seen in the Trader publications also.

Greg! Be cool to find one and put a pneumatic cylinders around it kind of like a RIB.

I had an "Aqua Loop". Put a 15 on it. Probably went 30?? It sure was ugly!Some kid kept bugging me to buy it so I gave it to him. I used to see him scooting down the lake from time to time. He had a ball with it.

I am just amazed that anybody could have that much fun without the "protection police".

Shame on you Greg for posting such a scandalous photo.

Oh - yea, I had one and it was a blast.

I want to see the "landing" photo :D

...and I totally agree on the "fun police" killing everything :nonod:

Holy Sh**!!! About ten years ago, we were at a fly-in fishing deal in Canada. One of these were sitting next to the cabin, same color and everything. We ended up taking one of the 9.9's off the rowboats and took it for a spin. There was no way to hook up the steering, so I just used the tiller. What a friggen hand-full! When you turn them, they just slide across the water. There was also quite a bit of alchohol involved, so that might of had something to do with it. Later, Dave
