Hydrofoil anchor?

Postby Toby » Wed Oct 26, 2022 10:51 am

Met a guy on the beach today…had a strange looking thing.
Had a chat, and since he finished his session he sent me a video of what he is working on…

It’s like a hydrofoil anchor and you fly along…I think I saw that before…anyone remembers it?

Still, looks fun

I've seen a video of something like this as well. A few years ago already. Really fast (seemed much faster than this). Some crazy French guys, maybe even that guy that held the world speed record for years (forgot his name now), or maybe he was second. Spectacular.

Looks more like a jetski that was edited out afterwards.

Yes, flyingcloclo / cglider.fr, and his parakite videos too are sometimes discussed at KF.
