Yeah we had it (and made it). It was a blast. You would wear a mask and go slow. You would turn the board so it would force you down and "sail" over the bottom. It felt like you were flying. It got interesting when you were around rocks though.

Not sure how good it would be to do today with the water clarity as it is. Water was a lot clearer back then.
