Have you ever wanted to turn your body into a boat?

It's probably not a question you get asked too often, but engineers of inflatable technology clearly decided that enough people would answer yes to warrant the building of something that transforms beach-goers into high-speed vessels that can bounce across the waves.

Behold the Sumo Tube, which is a sort of inflatable shirt that swimmers can wear for all manner of sea-going fun, including being pulled along by a speedboat.

Meanwhile other wearers use it to surf.

The inflatable is made by US-based company Sportsstuff, which says it is the only tow-able item you can wear.

Its website says: 'Take it to the beach for the ultimate body surfing experience.'

However, the suit might not be for those who are scared of water or brand new to tubing.

One review on the site said: 'This is extreme tubing at its best.'

While another added: 'This tube is not for beginners or small children, unless they are dare-devils.

'This is extreme tubing. Very extreme. However you will have a blast if you are up for it.'
