hello

[argonaut]

As the request says ......Hello ...

Some of you may recognise the username ... I own a runabout in S.Wales.
From April to Oct I can be typically found launching either at Swansea bay (Mumbles) or one of the bays in Gower.

I boat inshore for fun, trailering my tub to launch site.

This was one of the pics of me having fun on the last run out of the season:

Hi Argonaut

Welcome back, great to see you.

[NikTheGeek]

Welcome back!

One day I must meet up for a go on that airchair/skyski

Welcome back!

One day I must meet up for a go on that airchair/skyski

It certainly looks good fun, is it challenging to learn?

[NikTheGeek]

I feel a write-up/guide to airchairs/skyski's or whatever you call them. Which to buy, how to learn. Tricks to get up. etc.

But, the only person we know that has one is... Argonaut. So hopefully he'll volunteer

In response ..
# NicktheGreek .... you would be welcome to come join us to try it out

# Shibbs .... it took an awful long time to learn, as we also did not know how to drive for it. Now I have 'cruise control' fitted that makes a huge difference ..
When I was looking to buy one .... I asked how hard to learn .. and was told "It's like trying juggle, whilst riding a uni-cycle downhill blindfolded"
I found it harder that that.
To give an idea of my mates whop come out boating with me .... all have found it too much of learning curve and given up.

# NicktheGreek be happy to do a write up if wanted at some point .... biggest issue is cost ...mine was 2nd hand from a guy in Switzerland ... cost new to get in UK they are >£2000
