Surf Glider

This thing looks dangerous and fun all at the same time.

way back in the late 60s a south australian company called skippercraft made a set up that was like 2 windsurfer boards with a platform between them. had a ss bar athwartship to hang onto, a throttle control and you steered by leaning. the outboard usually under 20 hp was locked in the straight ahead position. the company owners wife strapped one of the new inline 6 mercs on the back and competed in the glenelg to penashaw race and obliterated the competition! took many years for her record to be beaten, brave woman!
