Water jet pack.

[Retired Member southey]

A friend of mine works on posh dingy normally hanging around the tropics, this is what his boss gets upto when the owners away for the day, It's got a four stroke motor in the pack that sucks up the water and pumps it out at enough pressure to kick you up around thirty feet,

I need one of these even if it's just to use in the bath, or down the canal!

Gailainne will have a giggle when he sees this. Stuart and I were telling him about these just last week after seeing a clip of them on the gogglebox.
As enthusiastic as we may have been neither of us knew the price. Maybe we won't be trading in the canoes after all.

Hee hee saw it at lunchtime, awesome looking thing, but 100k !!, Remember the enginner on the "Bang goes the theory" series made one using fire engines to power it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFjih5bFfK8
