114 Australian water skiers broke the world record for the most people water skiing.  The boat, a huge catamaran, had to tow all of the water skiers for 1 nautical mile.  The record was broken in Tasmania, Australia.

The previous waterskiing record was 100 people, achieved in Cairns, Queensland and has been held for 20 years!  There have been a number of attempts in Tasmania, this year and finally they seem to have been successful.  Although they are still awaiting final ratification from the world record authorities.

I love the quote from the guy on the boat, “Hang on you buggers!!”.

And a true Australian celebration at breaking the world water skiing record! Continue Reading

A New Zealand mechanic has perfected a homemade flying hovercraft.  Once the hovercraft gets up to 70km/h it takes off.  One handy feature is that the wings are removable, which makes transportation a lot easier.

Made from a modified car engine, fiberglass and even some household items, his invention took him 10 years to perfect.

The machine is officially called a “wing in ground effective vehicle” or WIG for short. The flying hovercraft is classified as a “marine craft” and therefore no flying license is required.

Get hold of Rudy Heeman in New Zealand if you want to get your hands on one of these flying hovercrafts, as he wants to now start marketing them.
