This is Too Good Not to Post

We've seen plenty of extreme action sports videos before (thanks largely to the GoPro video camera), but jetskier Franky Zapata's ridiculously awesome "Dolphin Jetpack" hit the waves and the web last weekend and it is, as they say, a doozy.

As Kottke notes, the apparatus imparts Iron Man-like superpowers to the otherwise mild-mannered athlete.

Thanks to our Core77 Design Awards intern Marko for the tip.

Interesting, I wonder who has the patent on this as there is also the Jetlev http://youtu.be/7-KczCp0OQ4. At $99,000 it's absolutely silly money vs this one. The designs look very similar, the engine boat trailer etc.

Still, i'd love a go.
