Zapcat Racing I Feel the need, the need for speed

That’s a classic line from that cheese-fest of a film, Top Gun. Yes, we hold our hands up and admit we watched the Tom Cruise classic again the other evening (not our choice, you understand, but the girlfriend insisted).

Anyway, it got us thinking about silly high adrenaline extreme sports type things we could try and having driven sports cars, flown in an aerobatics plane and done a bungee jump, we reckon our next ‘need for speed’ outing might just have to be a Zapcat experience.

Zapcats are a pretty new phenomenon, being first seen on the water sports scene during the 1980s in South Africa, where the prototypes were being raced by fearless locals. Since then, Zapcats have been re-designed and re-developed to be the nifty little inflatable catamarans they are today with a 50hp engine that is capable of a maximum speed of 50mph on the water.

Not for the fainthearted then these Zapcats, but if, like us, you love the feeling of power and speed, we suggest you book yourself onto a Zapcat experience to see for yourself – you can actually have a go at driving these mini wave munching Zapcats when you book through this zapcat experience website we found.

Be careful which experience you go for though, as some are Zapcat rides, whilst on others you actually get to have a go at driving the boat yourself, so depending on how brave you’ll think you’ll be, you can choose accordingly!
