Have any of you out there tried one of these???

They have been outlawed on several Corp of engineers lakes in MO and OK

Corp Notice of Ban (http://www.swl.usace.army.mil/news&info/news/CorpsKiteTubeBanJul062006.html)

The problem is the Water Patrol can't enforce the ban b/c its not state law.

Another problem is an everyday joe that buys one and doesnt have a clue and ends up killing someone.

They are banned at Powell also.

My thoughts exactly.

Just a warning to anyone who trys it: wait for some wind, keep the boat at a safe speed (under 25mpg) and go against the wind. You'll get plenty of altitude, wear two vests, helmet, earplugs & you're good to go.
