I thought we'd covered the issue of the picture's authenticity last fall when I posted an offer to send the video to the "Doubting Thomases" among the crowd, but alas I guess there's an inherent mistrust of digital imagery ;->.

I can tell you, however, that Richard Ehrlich (the guy powering the SpinFin equipped Kawak pulling the skiing girl) will likely attend the Buffalo HydroFest with his boat, and perhaps we'll be able to persuade him to put on a live demonstration (might have to find a younger girl though, as Lauren will probably be too big by then). I'm sure after seeing it in person there'd still be a few skeptics, but hopefully not as many. <:-)

Come join us at the event and try out the leg-powered boats, then judge for yourself!
