Get on an exciting Banana Boat Ride.

Have you tried riding a banana boat? Most of us love the beach. If you are someone seeking adventure on water, this might be a thrilling alternative for you over water-skiing. This was invented back in the 80s by Glenn Matthews. For other people, they know this as water sled. A banana boat is a long inflatable tube that was meant for a group ride. It is an unpowered boat designed for towing so the riders sit on the tube with their feet rested on adjoining tubes at both sides. This stabilizes the boat while a powered boat tows it. To push some thrill into this ride, the powered boat turns sharply so that the banana boat flips upside down and the riders scream with excitement at every sharp turn. For safety reasons, always wear a life jacket if you want to ride on a banana boat. It's a fun activity for kids too, as young as over 4 years old.

So why was it called a banana boat?
Ans: Well, it is obviously shaped like a banana.
