Self Surfer 2024

102k Kerbango  2 months ago
Auto Credit Based on Kerbango's Self skier

So professional water skier Frank Candor decided that he needed much more practice at skiing than his partner Mickey Dolan, his boat pilot, was able to provide.
So Frank approached Kerbango Craft Company with a request for a lightweight prop contraption to be able to do away with the boat and rope part of water skiing.

Soon after, Frank...well, um...He hit a wall...Metaphorically.
He actually hit a mountain and things were broken.

This is NOT Frank Candor. Honestly!

This is Justin Thyme.
Say "👋 HI! 👋" and then let Justin fly and surf!
Justin originally came to us with something of a dilemma.
He is a surfer and there is NO surf anywhere in the Krakabloa isles.
We remembered Frank and upgraded the equipment, the lawyers warned Justin (about Frank) with many forms and waivers signed, testing and training ensued.
Here is the final product.

Enjoy

Instructions:

Lift your arms with trim up. (Elevation)
Turn your body with roll. (Direction)

After 6 years we finally found someone brave enough to enjoy this contraption.

    @SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore I made a deal with the troll that lives under the bridge near bandit airport.

    BTW it's been 13 hours, and the first time I make it back, just 19 minutes after your comment. No Notifications either.
    Thanks.
