Well...I'm assuming they are surfoplanes, or something similar. Some of you may have seen this on Tablers Blurb, but many probably haven't. Fun stuff.

Here's an interesting take on surfoplaning. Also a reminder why you should never turn your back on the ocean...when Mr. Mike is out riding his surf mat.

Poobah,
Classic footage.
There's a lot of info on the inventor of the surfoplane, Ernest Smithers, in the John Ruffels on the paipo interview page.
