Nice photo, Ricki! We can well see the speed of the device on the way the bikini are being torn away by the water resistance. I am sure they blew out just a few seconds afterward and do not understand why you did not post that photo too
BTW, the
patent for Aqueon with quite detailed explanation and construction plans are available online (the PDF with pictures was posted on DB
here). I bet that there would a lot of people interested in it if it really works only half as well as claimed here, so I hope either Innerspace or someone else will bring it back to the market soon. Indeed, as written above, it would be great seeing the device made in carbon. I am myself quite excited and playing with the idea to build one for my own use. There are plenty of carbon hydrofoil manufacturers (some links for example here:
Links to Hydrofoil Web Sites), so it should not be too difficult to get a fitting prefabricated wing to build such relatively simple device.
