MiloMorai Posted August 19, 2019 Author Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) When one is riding on a cushion of air and the boat is sort of an airfoil it doesn't take much to get airborne The boats have a canard that helps to keep the boat at the correct angle. Bouncing off a wave that changes the angle of attack or a gust of wind that driver can't adjust for quick enough and it is rotate time. Both times I went over it was a gust of wind that did me in.

Baxii Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Back in Slovakia during socialism pilots in training would fly under road bridges in soviet jets as a sort of "right of passage". And during military parades soviet jets would fly so low that all the windows in high-rises would be flipped (they were the old spinney type). Unfortunately there were a lot of accidents.
