the website calims it uses GROUND EFFECT to keep it barely aloft, so it can zip over the waves at 90kts.

(For those who don't know, ground effect is the phenomenon that occures underneath an airplane's wing which acts like a "pillow of air" when low to the ground)

Comming soon to a lake near you?
