Ocean City

I remember those rafts, but haven't seen them in ages... if you find them let me know too! those things were as tough as a 2 dollar steak! :)

I havn't looked for one in years, but I'd be shocked if you couldn't find one at Sunsations.

I would think sunsations would carry them too, (probably do) I just havent seen one on the beach or in the stores in years. I guess I really havent been looking either, but the more I think about it, I'd like to have a couple for the pool.

Yeah, you just don't see many inflatable, canvas rafts anymore. I used to use one all the time when I was a little guy. I switched to Boogie Boards when they came out, but for the last 20 years it's been nothing but body surfing for me - there's nothing quite like it.

That is.....until I saw this! I know it's for kids, but I simply must attempt to a catch a wave on that giant ducky! I don't know why, but I must!!

:D

Thanks to all for your replies.

I ended up ordering a couple from http://www.deepsixintl.com/store/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=148&cat=RAFTS.

I was sitting here thinking about this, and the last time I saw a raft in the ocean, the life guard called them in. Are you allowed to use them in the ocean? Just curious.

Yeah but they gave you one hell of a nipple rash!! :eek: I remember after spending most of a day on one when I was younger it hurt for even a T-shirt to touch my nipples. Perhaps I should have put some bandaids on them or something before I went out in the ocean. :D

The trick to that was a heavy weight 100% pre shrunk cotton Tshirt with the arms cut out!

The use of inflatable flotation devices is up to the discretion of the beach patrol. Just 2 days ago (Sunday) I was on the beach around 37th St. and a few people had one of those 2-person inflatalbe rafts out in the ocean all day. They really weren't floating among the groups of people closer to the shore so I think that's why the lifeguards did not hassle them. If they had continually gotten near the breakers and had their raft get caught by the waves a few times and whisked into fellow swimmers then I bet the lifeguards would have called them in and told them not to use it anymore while they are on patrol.
