Put a white blaze on it, cross the Kennebec. Are you still a purist?

Man, thats looks stupid while doing it - bet its a lot of fun! I want to see someone do a full flip on one - that'd be awesome. Wonder if it would be able to jump taller waves.
Maybe if the portion you step on was able to be "on-the-adjustable" - as in you were able to angle it a little back with your feet. , if that would stop the thing from sinking when he does the fast turns?
Just like the Seg-ways when they first came out - really looked stupid on them but they are so much fun to ride.

Looks like you could get tired quick, too. Maybe add floats so you could just chill every so often. I'm doing a bad job hiding my interest, no?:p

It'd be a hoot watchin someone try to outrun a waterspout on one of those things.
Kind of reminds me of the gyro invention Mr. Mackey invented on South Park.
:D

They had a device like this in the movie Gizmo, many years ago. This is an old invention reinvigorated.
If anyone here hasn't seen Gizmo!, you should run out and get it right now.
