4" PVC sewer pipe...pontoon style...30" or so long.
Finless?, Strakes?...nice edge can be formed by running over pipe with car.
>>
For planing craft...dish soap injection..as needed.. to break surface tension
Air injection?...air hockey meets hovercraft...
>>
Has anyone taken the multitudes of molded snow toys (tobogons, sleds, etc.) into the sea? Many interesting shapes and styles. |

Moronic indeed! It was either that or the rather mundane header, El PVC Pipe-O. Thanks for the pic, Poobah. How wide is your vessel? |

Thanks to this thread, I had this dream last night that I was on a pontoon chair, with my cat in my lap, floating around the line-up and the next thing I remember is being totally shacked in the green room of this 12 foot (at least) wave....and it was really great, as I was in there for awhile - just sitting in there in my pontoon chair, yes, with the cat... and then, I started to uh-oh about how the chair would probably get sucked up and over the curtain and I'd get hammered....
Anyway, next thing I know, I'm on the beach recovering from anxiety caused by wondering how the cat was going to hold it's breath...which it managed to do...and we all survived...nothing like the sight of a very wet cat though..
Poohbah, you should contact Quicksilver about sponsoring you for a Cortes Bank trip on that... |

To heck with using that in the surf...I've always wanted to take a ClassI-II river float in something like that! |

Ha ha!!!
We have real baby GWS at my homebreak...I think I'd stick with the purple so they don't try to get frisky and want to play...
I was thinking, we should prolly have a pool toy surf contest at the PP - S.A event.
Anything goes, inflatable or molded... |

Alas, I looked, and they don't have any more of these available online:
though there's lots of other possibilities.........http://www.qualitypooltoys.com/floats.html |

Mel Thoman - a nearly identical pic was in a Romo-written article in TSJ vol 8 #3.
handy to have the computer close to the bathroom bookshelf, where the TSJs live. |

The mini cat is 25 inches wide. It's only about 2.25 inches at it's thickest (near the sides.) It's got two large concaves flanking a raised center section. |
