Shooting The Waves (1926)

United States of America. A “new fad of Miami“. A wooden roller coaster construction is set up by the edge of the sea. People kneel on a wooden board which slides down the slope propelling them into the sea. An Intertitle calls it “tobogganing into the briny“. A couple are seen coming out of the water and up the slope through a reversal of the film. Note: picture quality is a little poor. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
