Pumpabike - The Human-Powered Hydrofoil

Pumpabike is a human-powered hydrofoil that "propels itself across water simply through the motion of the rider jumping up and down." Video after the jump.
If you do manage a bit of speed - and we ended up skimming fast enough to over-take rowers - you can take a break from pumping for 2-3 seconds and glide blissfully

Didn't see him stop after 2-3 seconds and glide. looks boring and retarded to say the least.
