Bruce : Tractor or large truck tire inner tubes work well and are much less expensive.

As we are all very good at self-rationalization when we want something, it's nice to know that we can pass on that ever-important skill to the next generation.
Bruce, I'm going to give your kid a call later, to discuss the following:
1) How this water trampoline (WT) can help your Redear Sunfish to relieve stress and anxiety.
2) How this WT can make your Yellow Perch double in size every (20) days, not including winter month of course. Wait, ....take that back. All year round!!
3) How having this WT in your main pond can help you kick your DMD habit.
4) How the real Jack Daniels had four of these in his pond.
and finally,
5) How placing one of these WT in each of your ponds can prevent poaching.
And I might add the need for a Pony in order to haul the WT from pond to pond.

What about using it for a fly casting target or for testing the pushing power of the sweeper nozzles or the lift capacity of the too strong surface aerator.

The savings from the DMD alone would pay for the WT without the need for any extra root-canal work! Maybe with money left over for the pony!

I looked at one of the pictures and exclaimed, "Shelby, this one is twenty-nine ninety-nine"!!
She returned, "twenty-nine ninety-nine??, I can afford that"!
I then said, "No, kiddo, that's TWO THOUSAND, NINE HUNDRED AND NINTETY NINE DOLLARS"
...followed by stunned silence...........

I don't know what one of those real expensive ones are like for comparison, but we have one like this that works great for us and is under $350.

Fozzybear, how many people can jump at once on that thing? My daughter just looked at it and I got a preliminary "thumbs up". She seems to have in her mind that it needs to be three people at once. Do they make a model that's slightly larger, she asks?

Bruce, We have 1 or two adults and 3 or 4 kids on it at a time. It is 12 ft in diameter. I am not familar with the ones that are really expensive, but this is not a real trampoline with springs and such. You can bounce and it is a lot of fun but I wouldn't consider it a trampoline in the traditional sense of the word, but for at least 1/5th the cost its great for me!

Nothing to do with ponds, but I'm so proud of these girls. Playing for the national championship against Stanford tomorrow night.

Bruce...Cynthia Barboza rules! Just kidding. Hope I get back from offshore in time to watch it. I love to watch (real, not sand) volleyball. The girls have such good form.

burger, Cynthia Barboza is great. I watched her dismantle Washington the other night. The final four is in Omaha and the Huskers and UCLA Bruins drew over 17,000 fans in the semis last night! Our volleyball teams draws more than the men's basketball if you can believe that.

I kid you not...If I were starting a modeling agency I would start with this group.
Sarah Pavan is NCAA volleyball all-american of the year with a 4.0 GPA in biochemistry. Wow!
Eight of these young ladies are 6 foot 2 inches or taller.
