Why is it pointless?

It hasn't got a hull to float.

Why is it cool?

Be the envy of all shoreside watchers as you skim past at 18 mile per hour.

Just bought my self one of these amazing products. A fantastic way to excercise and have fun at the same time. After just 3 start attempts we were flying. The back up service and help from the guys at Pumpabike is second to none.

Pumpabike-Ah yes useful, cool, blah blah blah. No petrol, gasoline needed. Wanna save a gull from a shark attack??? Git your butt on this bike and wham, you are there. Hero. Maybe you have the thighs that resemble the cottage cheese. WHAM! Work those curds off your bode. Awesome concept.

What's with the Belgians and Pumpabikes? Reading the other reviews it sounds like half the Belgian population has bought them. Must be the effects of all that Belgian beer. Saw the video on the site linked above and reckon I'd rather swim than be seen on one of these. Clever idea - but boy would you look stupid on one.

I bought one, my friend also and I must say after 2 days practicing we rock! It's great fun but the best thing about it is the sensation! Thought a bit of practice is needed in the beginning, you soon fly above the waves at high speed! CAN YOU DO IT TOO? We are belgians and bought it at bSonic ! www.bSonic.be for the Benelux: awesome and fast service, they even have spare parts if needed !
