Yeah interesting articles Robert. Have been in touch with Yoav Rosen on email over the past couple years. The propulsion mechanism is mounted on the stern and works with a walking action. Cool but designed for short walks on calm waters though much like Bill witnessed I would imagine.

He also mentioned a sad story bout a guy called Remy Bricka who had a fairly tragic end to walking on water. He was trying to cross the Pacific apparently, although there doesnt seem to be much info about the whole story.

: This guy ultimately gave up on walking on water. His design ideas
: morphed into a catamaran fishing kayak.
