The speed this guy reaches is unbelievable. While the Flyak design may, or may not, branch out to other recreational vessels, just imagine what hydrofoils could do for pontoon boats full of retirees on Rainy Lake. Via Paddling.net

I’m still getting used to Kevlar canoes in the BWCA and their paddlers speeding across lakes yelling “Hup” every ten strokes when they switch sides.

That hydrofoil is so fast, that I’d heard rumor of a grassroots movement to ban super-fast hydrofoil manpowered boats in the BWCA… or at least to ban retirees in pontoons.
