You Across Water as Fast as You Can Hop
Enter the human-powered Aquaskipper – a folding, featherlight watercraft that can reach speeds of 17 mph depending on how feverishly its rider can hop up and down. The Aquaskipper’s hydrofoil frame is made from aircraft-grade aluminum and features a fiberglass spring that transforms a rider’s hopping motion into forward thrust.
Because hydrofoils have very little drag and are typically low weight, the Aquaskipper weighs a manageable 26 pounds – and it can even collapse into a not-so-summery grey tote bag.
