'Underwater bicycle' propels swimmers forward at superhuman speed

The hydrofoil board with a prop and motor looks really cool.

Just not sure what the learning curve is like and kind of worried about hitting something and flying off.

There are solutions that leverage a pair of catamarans and a track system, or a prop. These tend to move very slowly, much slower than a canoe or kayak. The water wheel style systems seem to move faster, but you can just get a pedal kayak and will be the fastest human powered craft on the water.

But... internet has changed massively since then, I feel; both the authors and reader audience are different in demographic distribution. I don't much subscribe to the notion that "Internet is dead", I think "old internet" is still there, just about as large with just about same interested audience, for those who want it. It's merely been... superseded, supplanted, overwhelmed? Whatever the appropriate word is, from early quirky adopters to general mainstream and varied audience. Back to the point though - the trust level of online content I feel has been drastically reduced since Paul's article, and with the AI content generated feedback loop we're encountering as we speak, it may experience a sort of "crash" in trust / consumption / economic model. We'll see! :)
