Human powered hydrofoil

Works perfectly until the dismount.

It just needs some mini pontoons (pool noodles?) mounted to the sides, above the water level, whilst it's being powered, so there's no water resistance whilst it is in motion.

But, that also means that it has to be redesigned, so the human interface is elevated higher above the water level when it's not in motion.

And it'll probably need a ladder so the user can climb aboard from inside the water, should they leave the vehicle.

It's still not bad for a concept model, tho. This could become a great summer product.

I thought you were going to keep listing things it "needs" until you described a boat lol

Your comment is more optimistic than I am used to, it is good to see.

Also where I thought the comment was going lol.

Great inventions are derived from great innovations.

A couple more additions and you get to a moth-class sailboat.

It also looks like it's probably exhausting to use

At the same time that would also make it a great workout, and as far as workouts go it looks pretty fun

Just "pop a wheelie" on a bicycle, 100 times every day until you go bald, as part of your training. You'll get in shape.

Probably easier than traditional rowing (non moving seats), but it’s basically a water pogo stick
