I thought it was fake at first (with the experienced flier) but after seeing some serious fails I'm thinking its real.

Oh, yeah, it’s real!

Plus, if you join the local Volunteer Fire Department, you can claim it as a Tax write-off!

YeeeeeHaaaawwww!

Looking at your tagline “(I’d rather go gun to gun than knife to knife.)”, I’d say that you need to remember that there are Rules in a knife fight.

Hey, its winter. Wouldn't be good in a cold water ice pond. p>Even in warm water I wouldn't want any medium waves around.

The price tag must be pretty steep. (Yea, I know, they want another grand to customize it for your style.)

It really is soooo cool though.

There's a show on NatGeo that had an epi with a rocket engine
designer as the guest. He originally did a jet-ski powered
backpack for his daughter.

The jet-ski was tethered and manned. It was redesigned with and for
the series host to use, that is, larger diameter "nozzles" for
increased thrust, and a lightened backpack frame.

Looks like it has potential to explore some rivers, but is too unstable. So I'm out for now.

I just handed my wife my Christmas list.
It has only one item on it.
