Instructions

1. Prepare your wallet for this new toy. Hydrofoils run around $500. Whether you shop online through "discount" retailers or go direct to the source, these bad boys are all priced the same.

2. Visit Hammacher Schlemmer's website. Hammacher Schlemmer is the only company that sells the Hydrofoil Water Scooter. They have cornered the market on this hot ticket item.

3. Be in good health. This new toy is powered by you. There are no engines to start or keys to turn. Simply get a running start jump on and start jumping. Older Americans should consult their doctor before trying the Hydrofoil. You have to be able to jump your way around.

4. Practice jumping a trampoline. The same motion is needed to make the Hydrofoil Water Scooter go. Bend your knees when you land and practice slowing yourself down. Then practice jumping at a steady beat. Build up your endurance and get ready for the day your hydrofoil arrives at your door step.

5. Order the hydrofoil. Wait and wait and wait. Or you can pay and pay and pay and get the 26 pounder early. Open up the box. Assemble the merchandise. Jump and sail across the waters at 17 miles per hours. Oh, and don't forget the life vest in case you run out of steam.
