Don't scoff! It is actually a very dangerous sport  :Cyes:
All that water and the only thing keeping you afloat is a big ELECTRIC fan! :CGEEK:
Wonder where they plugged it in?  :Ceek:

strangly enough I know the answer to that :S it was in Plymouth the other day (or similar thing)

It is just pumped up, after that there is a pump on top for emergencies which is run by a small water proof electric motor, can pump out air as if 12 people were sat there blowing it up :P

It is also got bathroom sealer all around the bouncy castle to stop air escaping :D

The best part about that is the fact that they "sailed" (?) into an international boat race thingy. I can't even begin to fathom what the sailors must have been thinking when they saw that beast. :P

the curtain walls of the castle would have caught the wind id guess   tho no way of stirring guiding, except with a paddle  so would just the way the wind took um
