Check with Gene - he has gotten me Bic stuff in the past.

They aren't exactly scarce online if Gene can't get one.

Before you drop coin on that, check this out:

I was going to write an article about it, may still.

Wouldn't "Aeroplane" be a better name ?

Did I miss that he was using an Aeropump to inflate it? Biggrin

Well, a search on "aero pump" returns links to pharmaceutical delivery systems and coffee makers, both of which seem appropriate. I was thinking about the song "Aeroplane" (lyrics NSFW), which describes highs and lows such as those inherent in windsurfing. But I suppose that reminding potential customers of the dark side of addiction would depress sales.

Just out of curiosity does anyone know what happens if one of those Air Planes (or any inflatable) springs a leak? Is the last thing you see a bunch of air bubbles?

Can't speak for the Aeroplane Airplane but our Windglider had and towables have multiple air bladders - a main one and secondary so you have at least something to cling to if the main one is compromised.

I'm having trouble believing you are actually going to drop coin on a new piece of windsurfing equipment. Wake me when it happens. Shok
