Play Exhausted-Pirates With Hydrofoil Water Scooter

As transport goes, some is indecently luxurious and some bone-janglingly exhausting; Hammacher Schlemmer's Hydrofoil Water Scooter falls definitely into the latter category.  Powered by, well, jumping up and down like a bear wearing a wasp nappy, you drive the hydrofoil blade through the water and – so the theory goes – propel yourself forward.

Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but if I'm going to become ocean-going then I'll expect to have a gin & tonic in my hand and be sprawled on the sundeck of some yacht.  If you feel differently then for $499.95 the experience is yours.
