I remember something like that 20 years ago but this is much better.  The old ones were much bigger and clumsy.  This one looks to be much more agile.  I think I need one of those!!  Alas, the website doesn't make it look like they are available yet.  Dang!  There went one really fun impulse buy that I might regret later.

This particular board featured here has already been around a few years.  Laird did not concoct this.  There are even some clips of Kai from about three years ago.

It's been called "waterskiing" for the last 100 yrs.

they are not available in the US because of patent disputes and they are quite expensive. No price is listed, but they appear to be about the same cost as a PWC.

Wonder how the locals felt about that ripping up and down the Hanalei river?
