No one n the US knows anything about them. Look it up and it is all Asian. I can't read it and have n o idea on the prices, let alone how to get one to the USA. They are very cool though.

(<-- me drooling) You guys ever hear of SPORTSSTUFF? They make hi-performance inflatables for boating. Well, the owner of the company lives here in Omaha, NE. I know him... in fact, he used to be my racquetball doubles partner when I played the tournament circuit. I know that he goes to China for months at a time to visit/work with the factory that makes his stuff. No promises, but I'll send this video to him and suggest that there might be a lot of interest in the USA (and us) if he could import the line. Again, no promise, but what the heck, right?

Peter [signature] Re: [ydoc] anyone no those tubes..? - albinotrout - 04-24-2010 That would be interesting. Keep us posted as to the status. [signature] Re: [joco] anyone no those tubes..? - flygoddess - 04-25-2010 Okay, here is the website for these "FLOATERS" http://www.zephyrboat.jp/boat/index.html Now, just the first one is 69,800 yen. That equates to around $743.00. You realize, Dave (NFO) sells his ESCAPES (usa made, bigger and bladderless) at the shows for $699. Same oar system. No brainer to me.

I had a U tube with those...what a pain, the that brace can break...who replaces it? [signature]
