It can be done but it's a pain in the azz! Once you do it too it will be more cumbersome to yield on land. I highly suggest you buy a water proof model. I say this because I looked into a while ago but after seeing what you have to do and what the end result was it is much easier and practical to just go out and buy a water machine.

Agreed, a cheap or used water machine is the way to go on this one. If you love it and end up spending all your time in the water, then you can upgrade, but find out if it's for you first.
