Yeah maybe but, comming from a windsurfer, you wanna know what boring is - try living in Sydney this time of year!

I'm inclined to sympathise but then I look at guys like Remco and Golito et al and see what they do on light wind days. All you need is 6 or 7 knots to make something of it. Of course if its cold too it can be hard to raise enthusiasm for light wind freestyle. It would be more interesting than that motorised surf board though.
That's a real bogan toy. Sooner or later I thought someone was going to say it. I didn't want it to be me.

I'm sure there are differences between the above and a jet ski, but don't think there would be too much in it.
Have you thought of SUP? They make inflatable ones now which are cheaper. Should be fun in small surf.
