Bob Myers sent me the following URL for a "wavebike."

Strange looking, but looks like fun :-)  The claim is it surfs
"easily."  Original design was of a sewer pipe and curtain rods (see
history).  Top speed supposedly 11 mph.  It stops by using
a "bungie powered, float-kick-stand system" (retractable floats).
20' long and 12" wide (yep, that's one foot wide).  See the specs.
