It does sound interesting and a lot of fun to use.
I should have been clearer in what I was saying. My speed runs to date have been very near the surface and generally along side of a support boat and safety line. Folks have been watching but not close enough to intercede rapidly if BO occurs. I haven't been doing fast runs on descent, yet, and may not either at least not very deep.

The inventor gave me a call today and I mentioned my difficulty with setting it up for inverted flight. Apparently, I needed to shift the location of the eyescrews back on the foil further than I thought. So, I may give that a go this weekend. It is fun and becomes more familiar with time.

Thanks and hold that thought Trux, back at you soon!
