2. Human-powered watercraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human-powered_watercraft

   The collected power is then transferred to the water with a paddle wheel, flippers, [8] [9] [10] or to the air or water with a propeller. Pedaled craft include: Amphibious cycle; Hydrocycle; Pedal-powered kayak [8] [9] [10] Pedal-powered submersible or midget submarine [11] [12] Pedal-powered hydrofoil; Pedalo

3. Human-powered hydrofoil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human-powered_hydrofoil

   The forward motion of the foil then generates lift as in other hydrofoils. A common design consists of a large foil at the stern that is used both for propulsion and keeping the passenger above the water, connected to a smaller foil at the bow used for steering and longitudinal stability. Riders operate the vehicle by bouncing up and down on a ...

4. Hydrofoil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofoil

   A hydrofoil is a lifting surface, or foil, that operates in water. They are similar in appearance and purpose to aerofoils used by aeroplanes. Boats that use hydrofoil technology are also simply termed hydrofoils. As a hydrofoil craft gains speed, the hydrofoils lift the boat's hull out of the water, decreasing drag and allowing greater speeds.

5. Flyak - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyak

   The Flyak is a hydrofoil adaptation to the conventional kayak. It uses twin hydrofoils designed to raise the hull out of the water to increase the speed. Speeds of up to 27.2 km/h (7.6 m·s −1, 16.9 mph) can be achieved on calm water. [1]

6. Foilboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foilboard

   As water flows over the hydrofoil, it creates a pressure differential that causes the water to push up on the foil, generating lift. [13] Adding a hydrofoil to a board can significantly increase the speed and efficiency, allowing the rider to reach greater speeds proportional to the lift generated; because of this, hydrofoils are extremely ...

   A Wetbike appears in the 1983 The Fall Guy episode "Devil's Island" where it is used to escape a primitive island prison. One appears in the 1983 Terence Hill & Bud Spencer spy comedy Go For It! , when Hill was pursuing and picking up Susan Teesdale's character, the lethal barmaid who tried to escape with a parasail,
