 |

Found this toy while looking for RC cars for the kids.

Pretty dorky but its cheap and looks like it is worth a laugh.
I figure if these things last half an hour they are worth it.

| I wonder how much wind you need to sail it? Looks like he has the boom height set a little high. Its over his head. Somebody should build a real life size one of those. Put some wheels on a real board. I wonder if its been done? |

You are so right. Throw a sail on that puppy and you'd have a great toy.

Nah, the sail would just get in the way, this things are actually pretty refined, and really fun, I don't have one, but I've tried one, it's on my list. Here's another good example.

| Check out the Radio Shack Manta Ray. It's really fast, does wheelies, and turns really tight. I have one and it works great. They don't make it anymore but you can find it on ebay. |
