Nice find. I've seen the photos but never thought it got as big as they made it sound. Cool to see it in action with the cheezy 60's film naration and music. :lol:

Nice find! My parents took me to Cypress Gardens when I was very young and one of my best childhood memories was seeing the ski show there. I grew up water skiing with my family and we had the Cyprus Gardens Dick Pope Jr. water skis and gear. How interesting that they pioneered ski kiting, I love watching the old films from Cyprus Gardens heyday. Today Cyprus Gardens is now a Legoland.

On a wing that was probably built in 65! Oh man...... Sometimes you just see an ebay auction and think.. "Someone's gonna get hurt."



Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.
