3 Hydrofoils for bi-direction
The board is setup with 3 Hydrofins™, at any one point you would be riding on 2 of the Hydrofins™, the middle one creating the primary lift with a rear one for stability and balance.

Looks like a bucking pony. Maybe the vee shape on the foils exacerbates this?

I'm fairly convinced that due to airfoil shape+ laws of physics there will never be a half decent bidirectional foil. That vid does nothing to change my mind.

It looks like it creates more drag, not less.
