Hmm.. Looks uncomfortable. Website says it's instinctive to ride. Maybe it's not as uncomfortable as it looks.
“Professional freestylers will be able to do things with this machine that will be incredibly spectacular and we absoluetly believe we have created a new class of PWC racing. In terms of speed thropugh a set of boiuys, and close skilled racing, the Samba is set to become the watersport equivalent to a Formula One car. It's light, so it doesn't take much wake to give it lots of air, and it can manhandled to do far more turns or flips than a normal jet ski that we're really looking forward to seeing what the professional stunt riders can do with it. You can get much more air of a wake than a stand-up rider. You can flip it and loop it far easier than a stand-up.”

Just make sure you don't wear your thong when riding this machine.
The gizmag is an interesting site though. Check this out:

Id ride it.
Im not sure "like a motorcycle" is a good way of describing how to ride it.
U def arent sitting on it like a motorcycle. Looks more like a standup U have to crouch on. That does get the cog more inline with the ski.
I wanna try it. Dunno if Id pay anything for it.

looks like it would be pretty hairy in really choppy water.

Samba, is this a creation of yours?
It's different! I would assume it sucks for chop but would be very cool on flatwater. I could be wrong. Any vids of it in action?

I'm one of them.
yeah, i wouldn't want to cross the 'big pond' on the Samba. But on a windy days here, we get some good chops, and it really is fun. You can either skip across the 'crest' or dig it in.
As for flatwater, and surf, imagine the rotation potential by 'consolidating mass'
vids this week:Banane26:
The digging in is what I'd be worried about...as in dig the nose in and go head first into the water at 40+mph.
