I think I'm in love.

The wave piercing hydrofoil design is great--now you can step taxi and I bet the t/o roll is much shorter than an Icon A5.

If I won the lottery I would buy one.

300,000 euro according to their website.

 

[Art VanDelay]

Yep, if it comes to market it will be the MOST expensive LSA to date.
