Sources for watersports equipment

[martinwoolwich]

Any places reccomended as a source for inflatable watersports toys? ie hot dogs, towing donut rings etc. The only ones I can find on the internet are US based

should be ok trying google, uk only, and waterki or wetsuit as the search.Places usually do toys as well. Make sure its with boston valves, and get one of these mega volume electric air pumps -about gbp 20.Mine pumps up a double ring in about 3 mins, but even better draws air out too so you re not stuck with this huge toy in the boat. Go for the big names jobe,obrien etc. May be a bit more but at least it will last longer. By the way, in other than flat water these things bounce alot, so keep your speed down or you ll get neck or back sprain. Flat water is fine though,If its USA product it has all the usual over the top death warnings etc !!

if you can wait for boat show, they are cheap there.

BUT imho they are all a bit so-so in comparison with the amazing Flyfish. Yeehah!

I would be Top Dad if I did indeed have a Flyfish. At the moment i only have a towable banana. And waterskis, and a surfboard. Also several footballs, five petrol-powered scooters and erm er indoor table tennis.

Re: watersports toys

I'm going to buy one of those ring thingies, I've already got waterskis, now the crew wants a wakeboard, he can buy it himself and the petrol to learn how to stand on it! Personally I think blasting around in the Zodiac, over the bumpy bits is quite fun enough, almost lost my kidneys last time!! Yes, I was drunk!! well ish anyway.

Re: watersports toys

Any idea on the price of the Flyfish?

It's all your fault, the kids (adults) want one!

Re: Flyfish

I had a go on one in south of france, from a ski-bloke otherwise doing waterskiing. It's in Golfe Juan, 30 quid for 15 minutes. I held on for quite a bit! But others din't so it got a bit mad when it reared up in the air - only a metre, it sort of bounces along in a reared-up nearly-verticallish way. Hilarious fun.
