That is just to kool. I'm lucky I'm old because I would buy one of those. Looks sorta like a modified jet ski he's pulling behind him to pump the water. If you pause at 02:09 you can see it fairly well. Looks like a lot of fun.

Yea I saw that too. Still think those two Canadians from Newfoundland came up with a great idea. Lot of investment money, but their idea of selling to resorts to be rented by guests might work.
