Actually, the Aquaskipper is a new way to exercise on the water, or above it even. I saw the gadget on TV a few weeks ago, and thought it looked neat, but I forgot to write about it at the time. Today I was down at the ship canal by the University of Washington, and I saw someone using one of these bad boys. It was really quite interesting, and everyone was staring at him and looking impressed as he hopped across the water (so, guys… if you want to get a chick, just get one of these…). If I’d had my suit with me, I might have asked him if I could give it a try. But I remember on that TV show how the newbies tried it and most of them went face first into the lake. There’s probably a bit of a learning curve involved, but it did look like it could be a fun way to get your workout once you’ve got it down.
So, what’ll it cost you? $500 for a new one, or $350 if you get a factory refurbished one.
