In Response To: Other: hydro foil kayak (Dan Murn)

actually I am already working on this, at least on paper :-) It's certainly possible but you will need a few very strong strokes at the beginning. Once out of the water you need to paddle at higher cadence but with less effort. Question is how much drag there will be due to the wings until they will start lifting you up.
