If you like messing around on the water, there is no limit to lengths you will go to create a new experience. Here’s an idea: If you can launch a glider into the air with a length of bungee cord, imagine what you could do to a person standing on a piece of plastic on the sea, attached to several metres of highly-stretched bungee? Naturally, we had to find out.
First task is to attach one end of the bungee to something secure, an anchor would seem like a good idea.
Then you have to stretch it. This is hard work. So I am told; I am just the photographer.
Then everyone takes the strain prior to launch:
And one person runs with the surfer to help ease the launch:
And away you go!
Of course, it is all much more amusing when things do not go entirely to plan…..
