"Moomba - the ski boat company" Very Cool Find Inside...

[ian ashton]

My dad was going through some old stuff and stumbled across this old Moomba Boomerang flyer. I can't find a date on it anywhere, but I've got to imagine its one of the first pieces of literature from the company. Scanned for your viewing pleasure.

I love the outfits;

Moomba came into existance in 1989. not sure if they started with the Boomerang or not.

Cool stuff Ian, thanks for posting it.

Mick Neville, shown in the last page, went on to start the Masterline Company - Ski ropes and etc. I think he was huge starting in 1985.

I just found this in the 'History' section on the main page;

In November of 1989, the first product mold was acquired from an Australian tow boat manufacturer. In 1990, the Moomba Boomerang made its debut in North America. True to its Aussie-heritage, the Boomerang brought affordable towboat fun to the American tournament boat market.

And they had Christie Brinkley on their cover.

She's pretty good but she's no Christie.

I would need to spend time with each of them to see the differences. I'm trying to find out who I lended my time machine to.

nice ads.
almost bought one of the original moomba boomerangs (was a 1990) for my first boat 2 years ago. glad I didn't as I don't think it would have surfed real well, but still a cool boat. loved the kangaroo graphics on the side...
