Just saw this on Facebook.
Could be a thing for wake skaters instead of rolling out a winch as many do.
Wouldn't want to hold the handle to long after falling though surely it would pull the drone down
I'm skeptical.. I don't think the power is there yet, both in the motors and the batteries. They're (possibly, if not fake viral vid) making it work with a running start in super shallow water, and not really carving at all.
Load the board with batteries and power the drone through the tow rope might get you more endurance?
Zero wind - look how glassy. Skim board Style start over shallow water. Little Guy. U can stop a tinny with a hard carve if you are not mindfull of slowing it down. Still awesome. Great vid. Imagine the things to come
Great, an artificial kite, good for the windsurfers, less kiters out on the water on the windy days because they will be worn out by then.
I call big fake!
A 10 HP engine on a tinny couldn't do that and a 3000 mA/H lithium battery can?
Seems feasible to me. I use to get the dog to pull the kids along on a skim board and he had no trouble.
Do you trust it is priced from $17,495
Great!!!!!! Something to replace kiteing, finally the fad is over. Let the new fad begin.
ok so it's not fake, but just highly misleading.. lots of running/skimming going on betwen shots, 9kgs of thrust could only maintain the basic skim..
One day soon you won't need a pilot to fly the drone for you.
There's already drones with the tech to be able to follow you remotely, upgrade that to a wrist wearable steering device, give it a bit more grunt and battery life...sweet!
Or make them bigger and petrol powered and they can be the new jetski, in the sky

Oh joy ....................
Be able to hack through a few sails on the water with the petrol model
First series would have to be a 2 stroke
