Sevylor Flying Mantaray Debut
Vitznau, Switzerland
August 5th 2006

A new towable tube has been released in the USA in June 2006.
Reto went to New York in August and brought probably the first
"Manta Ray" to Switzerland for some new action on the Lake.
At a speed of 60km/h (37mph) , the Manta Ray starts flying behind the motorboat.
Professionals achieve a hight of 5m or 15ft behind the boat. It is
unsure, if such a device like this will remain permitted on Swiss Lakes.
Wearing helmet and swim west is recommended. Here are the pics:
