it was overhead, 6-8 (inches, hhahaha)!!!
The thing that scares me about those things is how long will it be before someone gets the idea to build a lifesize surfboard on the same prinicple!
I sat there with a big dumb grin on my face the whole time. Pretty cool, Yorky. There are times when it looks real, the guy in control has it wired.

How much does a Tom Carroll cost?
funny you guys mention Tom Carroll... i read somewhere that they modeled him after TC...
there was one for sale on Surfermag.com classifieds a while back. i forget how much.
looks like fun
I remember seeing some Tom Carroll models of this thing some years back on ebay. They were pretty cheap about $30 or so. I think they used to be sold at Radio shack or something. Theres also a Kelly Slater model that used to sell for around the same amount. I just checked to see how much these things are going for now and they're in the $500 range. I guess I'll need to keep my eyes open at the garage sales.
If anyone is thinking about getting one, it would probably be a good idea to check on the battery replacement cost. A friend of mine plays around with a R/C model off-road race buggy and he said the high capacity version of the battery for it runs around $300.
