Alumaski on Gizmodo

Just thought I'd share. Saw this on Gizmodo this morning.

It's pretty cool. A guy I know in Alaska is part of that. So my facebook feed is pretty full of videos of it in some shallow Alaska streams.

(actually, both the guys are on this site as there is a previous thread for this ski)

It looks like the Nautilus from 20000 Leagues Under the Sea.

it looks like a go nowhere proposition to me.

I was thrown over the handlebars of a Seadoo once, and I thought I'd broken my jaw when I hit the bow of the ski. Hitting the bow of the Alumaski might have decapitated me.

Saw this on my facebook. Was interested in seeing a picture showing inside it a bit or whatever.

I'm not surprised that city folk don't see the market or the purpose for these but they have no idea how many people make a living or a lifestyle out of accessing very remote areas by river. Not everybody can drop $60k on an aluminum river boat and there's plenty of places a river boat still can't go.

It's a small market but there is still a market for these.
