So I was at Lake Winni this weekend and I took these to videos of two toys that were playing around on Saturday afternoon

This is a jet board. The guy has a board strapped to his feet and the jetski behind him is actually powering it. This was the highest he had been all day, now if you notice, it was pretty windy (probably 15 MPH) so this was pretty good I thought. They were also porpousing in and out of the water too. It was pretty cool to watch.

This was an ampicar that drove past my cottage. Jim C and I ran down after I watched it go into our marina. It did actually venture out into the main lake, but as you see in the video before, it was a little rough and QUICKLY turned around and floated down the marina and this is when I got the vid.
So it was a cool day to see all these cool toys around the lake this weekend.

Yeah, that was pretty cool. I've seen Amphicars around before -- even once or twice at regular car shows, but that was only the 2nd or 3rd time I'd actually seen one in the water.
Wikipedia has a pretty good summary of the Amphicar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphicar).
