The Manta Ray towable from Sevylor can really catch some air. It can go high enough at fast speeds that it hovers in the air. It looks quite dangerous for someone who isn't experienced in using it. Oh Gizmo says it begins to hover at just 23mph.
Well another flight-capable towable is now available called the Manta Ray and with its 11-foot 'wingspan' it can begin to hover at only 23 mph travelling against the wind. The actual height the towable can achieve during 'flight' is only really limited by how much tow cable you have available. At lower speeds when the Manta Ray is just skimming across the water it can seat two persons but the company strongly discourages attempting to hover with more than one person on board.
The Sevylor Manta Ray is currently available from various outdoor or watersport-type stores for about $500.
You can see the Manta Ray in action in this video.
You can find the Manta Ray for sale here at waterriders.com and here on 1800trampoline.com. The Manta Ray is made by Sevylor which offers several other towables. (via Gizmag)
