Zip Board?

Back in the 70's we had a hollow, plastic "board" that we towed behind our boat
I believe it was called a "Zip Board"
It was about 4' long and 2' wide and about 5" thick
It was drilled so that water would go in the front and out the back adding stability and had a tri-hull or pontoon style bottom
It was a lot more fun than a tube and much more controllable
Does anyone know if they still make these or if I have the right name?
I've been trying to find one without much luck

Re: Zip Board?

For kicks, I did a google search and only had one hit.
It was a reference to finless surfboard in Australia.
Best of luck in your search!

Re: Zip Board?

I got the same,
that's why I thought maybe I had the wrong name
I was hoping someone else remembered them and new the correct name, if zip board isn't right
Thanks
