for me - it's the sort of thing I would LOVE to have a go on, but I'd hate it if there were a couple of guys out at my favourite break on them! Complete hypocrite really I guess!
They do look fun though.......

Only pro i can see for that is for when a tow-in is needed... and that isn't needed very often.

Looks more fun than a jet ski, and ok if you are stuck next to a lake.

Stupidest design ever if you want to surf waves, you go fast enough on a regular board, why would you need to go any faster??
but if you stuck on a lake, or a really flat day its alright.

id get one for a laugh good for those flat days you can go out and piss around on would use it if there was actual surf for one it would be to heavy and wouldnt cave very well and you realy wouldnt want to take a nasty whipe out on it
i dont think its designed to surf like we do its just for lakes and clam days
