Looks like alot of fun for fairly short distances.

I've been playing around with faster kayaks, this spring I'll finally be covering the catamaran kayak and see how that works. Doing a foil version would require a fair amount of testing first, that's in the eventual plans, just have to have space and time, money would help too .

I've got the materials to make a testing boat, just don't right now have the place to store it once built.
