Interesting design.  Wonder what are the dimensions and hull weight?

Interesting, innovation is alive and well BUT
First thing I see is the front of the rear portion is flat. To me you are pushing water not gliding over so will be slow IMO
Probably ok for fresh water use in flat calm water.
Not for ocean use IMO
The foot steering is interesting but mounted high ???
Maybe retrofit a sit on top ???

You'd be sitting on a floating penis.

That thing is hilarious. I could see it in a Monty Python sketch.

Oh boy, that thing sure is something...  Curious how this would do in the bay while fighting a little wind and current?

In the video, he says it's 48 inches wide.

The pedal/paddle is kind of interesting, but it looks like you'd have a lot more power going backwards rather than forwards...
