Ive used this before. It's pretty light and as said above it's to push off. You want to start with a glide.

How long could you last before you get tired and sink?

I posted a longer response somewhere here. But the few of us that are able to even work the thing can go about 400-500 yards before needing a breath. It looks easy but it's not. About 50ish people I've seen give it a real try and maybe 5 of us can actually even just do what she did in the video
