If you are someone who loves unusual aqua sports for the weekend adrenaline rush, get your dose with the Aquaskipper this weekend. It's better than a boat. It's better than a jet ski. Aquaskipper is a human powered hydrofoil, which uses the force of your weight to compress the fiberglass spring and cause the back foil to change its angle and generate the propulsion every time you jump.

Made of aircraft aluminium frame and fiberglass, it weighs a mere 26 pounds and can move at speeds of up to 17 mph. moreover, it can be assembled on the spot and has mimimum drag in water. You don't need to worry about causing water or air pollution since you don't add any fuel to the eco-friendly Aquaskipper. Every time you jump, the force of your weight compresses the fiberglass spring, making the back foil to change its angle. From the same impact of your jump, the angled back foil is pushed downward to generate the propulsion. The exhilarating cardio-vascular workout you get as you play is of course the added bonus. Now, who says workouts can't be fun? The ultimate riding experience on the Aquaskipper can be yours for $495.[via]
