@ ianlee74 - In both videos, it begs the question…isn’t “water” rather an important part of water sports? If I wanted to ride a bike and stay dry, I can do that on any road.
Or, at least, stay dry until I stop hopping or pedaling.
I dunno, I really like the water, enjoy sailing, water skiing, etc. This looks interesting from an engineering standpoint, but I don’t think I’d enjoy actually doing it.
Besides, as the inventor of a lightning detector Gadgeteer module, who would be better positioned to know when a storm is coming and get off the water…?
Isn’t one of the main benefits of the hydrofoil that, since you don’t run on the (wavy) top of the water, you’re much less susceptible to rough weather?
