Verdict: We had high hopes for this but came away rather deflated. We suspect we didn't find its full potential on the day but the lack of communication with the driver is a worry.

Verdict: Short of strapping yourself to the undercarriage of a Eurofighter, this is about as extreme a ride as you're likely to find. Those in search of a gentle afternoon's entertainment had better look elsewhere.

Verdict: A major disappointment among our adrenaline-junkie testers: we couldn't even get it outside of the wake let alone airborne. A good family starter toy, though we'd rather opt for a traditional donut.

Verdict: Mad, bad, but not quite as dangerous as some of the more extreme offerings our testers were asked to endure. A fine all-rounder that takes the traditional donut concept one step on.

Verdict: Everyone has their limits and our testers found theirs with the Sumo. Unless you have gills, a smaller, faster boat or guaranteed flat water, we suspect you'll come to the same conclusion.

Verdict: The undisputed winner of our group, scoring highly with riders, viewers and even the boat's driver. It delivers all the thrills of the Wet 'n' Wild Flyer with more comfort and greater versatility.

Verdict: Looking like a giant green and purple samosa, this toy failed to make a lasting impression on our fearless riders. However, it is comfortable to ride and a safe bet for the less experienced.

| Model: O'Brien Wake Wizard 2 |
Verdict: Another favourite, due to its wild looks and even wilder behaviour. As unpredictable as a drug-crazed gunman and only marginally less dangerous, it delivers thrills and spills in equal measure.

Verdict: Perhaps the roughest and wildest towing toy that we tested, for pure speed and adrenaline this probably edges it. However, it's very much a raw beast and won't be suitable for everyone.

Verdict: A good balance of comfort, fun and versatility but not quite scary enough to impress our battle-hardened charioteers. More Boden than Bodicea was their verdict at the end of the day.
