HYDROFOIL -- The Amazing Boats of Kotaro Horiuchi. Video posted by Ray Vellinga

[dieseldog00]

Thanks guys I've got it figured out now lol.

[MisterLEM0NS]

There are those 'things' you just have to have or try in life, a wingsuit, a miniature helicopter of plane, a gokart, one of those motorized skateboards you lay down on, stuff like that.

This is one of em...

[aphalunj]

Cuts alot of fish.

[Nater36]

looks like another 70's design fail

[celestrialmisconcep]

@dieseldog00 If you look at 0:20 sec you can see in the rear hyrdrofoil there is a vent at the bottom.

[itdoes185]

1985 called...want's it's music and fonts back.

[3333glen]

Genius. I love it!

[SBrandon562]

Why do you have some scarface type music? lol

[biohazardousBiker]

Crosswind anyone??



[nickwarnermusic]

Looks like a disaster waiting to happen. But I will admit it seems pretty cool!!

[dwoodsky]

Mmmmm 240p, for that dialup feeling.

[999ilovejapan]

DUDE! THATS AWESOME!!! XD

[TheGreezeball]

COBRA!!!!! G.I. Joe in zodiacs getting chased by these with machine guns mounted in their noses. Cobra always had the coolest kit.

[treasureinvessel]

Why it doesn't fly ?

[KRABBESTR]

the music is gay

[Staunchuary]

Nooo Mr. Bond, I expect you to die.

[JA7036]

I don't understand why you just dont keep the boat at water level.

[Staunchuary]

@JA7036 Apparently it's because it takes more energy to displace the same volume of water than it does air, basically because water is more dense or some shit.

[numeristacom]

@JA7036 Less drag of water on the hull, it rides on a pair of small fins under the water, and it can go a lot faster on less power - and have a smoother ride - than if it just floated.

[detroitbluesguy]

very cool

[seaplaneguy1]

Needs wings...among other things.

[jwalk1014]

I moon walked while watching this video.

[weldinggod1]

What were they thinking??!!

[JunkComa]

I feel like doing a robot dance

[tagaEskinita]

awesome music!

[nata911]

Music FTW!

[barbastrigo]

wonderful!!!!!

[wadeuss]

Looks like good fun, but I'm not sure if I could be seen in a giant cock on stilts.

[Megatrollolol]

@wadeuss You mustve seen some weird-ass cocks in your lifetime >>

[FT86TT]

James bond is looking forward to buy it!

[Mykola40]

7:07 Putin is the commander of the Russian aircraft carrier.

[mdp311]

 cruise on your hydrofoil while listening to megaman x music

[TheAussieRod]

this music is from a porn movie in the '80s

[creativeprojects720]

anyone calling this porno music has watched too many pornos. This is 1980's pop and disco, with a japanese interpretation. (made in japan)

[creativeprojects720]

looks like something james bond would drive.

[winchestermag]

Sounds like a 80's porn video!!!

[nashron88]

Do you think it's amazing ??

check this site :

boats-4-all com/

[TheSlugstoppa]

Should'nt 007 be in this thing chased by a Helicopter Gunship ?

[torx0149]

HOW?!



[TheCmac1966]

Nice boat. The music and editing make me want to pierce my eardrums and gouge out my eyes.

[54321br14]

INVENTED IN CANADA BITCHES

[dieseldog00]

How does water get up into the jet if it stays up on the foils?

[DrRake4point0]

@dieseldog00

theres an inlet on the rear foil

[GamelsmurfXXX]

@dieseldog00 -It hawe intakes at rear fin bottom !

[Drafty01]

@dieseldog00 I'm guessing the rear strut is actually hollow and is the intake duct for the jet. seems the only way it could do this.

[nata911]

@dieseldog00 i think it sucks in from the back foil, not shure tho..

[LOWAML]

@dieseldog00 you can see the tiny jet intake in the bottom of the rear foil at 0:20

[AweSomo84]

@dieseldog00 trought the hollow pipes of the foils?

[valiumsummer]

@dieseldog00 My guess would be the water intake is located at the front of the rear foil.

[BenjiCG144]

@dieseldog00 intake on the rear foil takes in coolant

[ryan4888]

@dieseldog00 It has a duct in the foil itself.

[jetrider2254]

Beautiful...Thank you! Is it possible to purchase one in the United States?

[jetrider2254]

Beautiful...Thank you!

[wadeyearsago]

FINALLY! A boat video with music I love!!

[bigjoe65459]

i remember seeing this boat on an old tv show called , beyond 2000

[photobart1]

Looks corny

[sohoricdz]

This boat is very ugly  >_>

[odmcarp]

i thought of that design years ago. honest. no bullshit.

[xr8dpixel]

boom chicka wow wow

[masterfistlord]

@ 1:08 when you run aground with this thing you will understand it's name.

[masterfistlord]

my first thought to the music of 0:28 .... KITT, I NEED YOU BUDDY!

[DuelNexus]

thought it was minecarft at first

[503challenger]

200lb. floating log. Fun is OVER.

[MyNamesMatTheFatRat]

fucking asians and theyre contraptions

[TheClassicalSymphony]

@MyNamesMatTheFatRat Forget the Japs....The Chinese will rule the fuckin world!

[ScarFace9797]

The guy who made these died in 2001.. guess why

[coopgibster]

who the hell would buy a pussy of a boat like that

[ThumbsUpPeople]

Nostalgia! ;D

[SpiceyFilipino]

I called. i want my boat back.

[thatsowow]

The footage from 0:01 to 0:19 was recorded with a barcode scanner.

[tangledline]

Reminds me of my ZX10R.

[paulmahy]

I used to drive commercial passenger hydrofoils, this is a great concept.

Please keep building!!!

[TVaDaR]

It works great in filtered water. In real life things are floating on or below the surface.

[tobzere14]

what happens if you dont want to go fast?

[Herik77]

I was really scared by the video quality in the first seconds

[cubanboy740]

breaks wakes nicely cuts like a hot knife on butter.

[benhayes123]

music sounds like a porn movie from the 80s

[05you2]

It's an aquatic motorcycle!

[MrJello4x4]

0:03 filmed with a leaf

[GenericUth]

What kind of propulsion system does this thing use?

[kbz1231]

@GenericUth it looks like a jet boat

[kbz1231]

@kbz1231 not a turbine engine but a jet propulsion 

[wayvicle]

 very cool

[SALTFEEND]

edited by the year 1986

[ChrisPCrunchy]

Great for out-running tsunamis or getting the Fuk out of Fukushima before your nads start glowing in the dark!

[BAXFAXTER]

Japanese thieves

[BAXFAXTER]

watch?v=WlEt0bCeTy8&feature=re­lated

[BAXFAXTER]

made in russia

[chiefkyle1]

Talk about unstable. My great grandma draws straighter lines.

[asshatnowhere159]

nothing like porno music

[MusikCassette]

somehow i like the 80s

[KOs231]

Don't hit a drift wood...or else you'll run the danger of operating it like a regular speed boat.

[twontitus]

christ when it starts the music leads me to believe its a porno.. lame boat whats the point? closed in a capsule defeats the objective, plus you cannot wakeboard.

[bigcheese1653]

lame

[Rickycooke1gmail]

Looks like its something fram the super

Nintendo

[paintballgundown8]

thats the japanese version of the boat in the begining

[MINECRAFT510]

oh the 90s

[RifullOfTheWest]

lol fucking lame ass music from the 80s. wow i cant believe people listened to that garbage!

[ControlTheSpice]

This music... *thumbs up*

[KastleBravo]

Oh, those Japanese.

[Ryzler13]

I just bought a new japanese hydrofoil boat....lets go fishing....oh dam!

[xIsteelerIx]

I would feel so badass riding past people in that shit.

[sciontcdude]

@xIsteelerIx no u would look like a retard..come on this looks ridiculous

[xIsteelerIx]

@sciontcdude I was being sarcastic lol. This thing doesnt even make sense. Haha

[FlamingCatTurd]

It looks like Vector's ship from Despicable me.

[BarbnGrill]

why am i kinda thinking of tracy lords?

;

[hammerogod]

Well....that thing just looks like trouble waiting for a place to happen.

I'll take a pass.

[rock3tcat]

80's disco gone mad?

[KenMacMillan]

seatbelts + boats = a bad experience.

[pathosbedlam]

The point with this design is to stop the waves you hit from making the craft bounce and it's like adding shock absorbers to a boat, because it makes the ride so much more comfortable. It also reduces the fuel needed as there is less surface area touching the water, which means less wasted energy and better fuel efficiency. A good design for a daily water commute to work, and fun too.

[speedxtreem]

I really don't see a point

[bobert4him]

Quite right. You've got a point. Either way a person would be in deep (pun unintended) trouble. Weather to get sliced by a fast underwater wing or bludgeoned by a fast moving hull. A far, far less important consideration would be the cost to the owner of the 'foil vs the standard speed boat.

[Lyricsrap]

At first i was like man that is some shitty quality

[ColdAsIce05]

which music is this

[rube740]

looks like a bike in the water

[bobert4him]

Hydros are extremely cool until you hit a log, a big fish or person. It's more efficient than a speedboat, but less safe.

[unitedstatesdale]

@bobert4him

A log would be bad, Really bad

[nunoajc]

@bobert4him

This boat is great,but hiting a person i thinkis bad either with a hydro or ither boat

[goosebumper88]

this music makes me think that #6 is trying to escape in that thing

[chair5432]

790 pounds???

[sworteu]

hydrofoils are a dutch invention there is nothing great about this one as we already have hydrofoils in the water for 25 years +

[Rippy0870]

@sworteu

Hydrofoils have been around since 1906, which would make it over 106 years.

[LordOfYahoo]

sushi for everyone

[Zvesda]

the second song sounds like megaman.

[hittintrees42]

sounds like 70's porno music

[lookatme7150]

@hittintrees42 fo shw

[goo5976]

yes it was filmed with a calculator

[ellenjacobs4]

I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU RUN OVER A LOG LOL



[mich27g]

have any of uze actually been on a hydrofoil??? I have loads of times!!! not one as small as that though!!!



[rainerfilm]

Nice music.

[DuranDuranLiberty]

HOT!

[jesusegs95]

So if you were on this shit i mean thing and suppose you turn right but then you see a whale in your way and your like "oh shit son!" and you turn left really quick would you flip your shit or would it just turn?

[manof30]

how about you quit selling it to us like a 7th grade tech ed safety video and just give us what we want!

[chuckclose1]

sounds like a bad porno lol

[863jojo863]

[res8898]

[Simenbjo]

WTF is this?! haha

[Fotrane]

Nothing like being out on the open water.....trapped in a space capsule.....ahhh the freedom....

[1890scooter843]

@Fotrane hahahahah

[vincent7520]

@Fotrane yes wonderful freedom ! … compared to this I feel like a trapped mouse when I sail my blue water cruiser.

An the music ! … Wonderful and creative : Bach, Mozart or Miles Davis couldn't have made better !…

[whatnamesnottakenyet]

@Fotrane LOL, my thoughts exactly!

[vlncrzy]

Give me the boat without the hydrofoil, now that would be a good time.

[turtleguy923]

This man was the only one that survived the tsunami.....

[rolandgue]

you are to genius for this world

[rolandgue]

realy fantastic

[rolandgue]

where i can buy one?

[KvagGthull]

looks like a 80´s commercial break for waterproofed suppositories :D

[goingfishing313]

mr kotaro that is one bad ass boat awsome

[Leopoldo888]

nice but unstable

[file83]

They need to mount a mini-gun to the hood.

[Arildermeg]

マラはアラは穴や橋なヤナは生なゆたなhereに彩奈また

[autocon2002]

You know what needs to be done now? There needs to be a TV crime drama or something with this boat as the hotshot cop's vehicle....Like Blue Thunder or Airwolf, but on water!

[autocon2002]

OH MY GOD THAT IS HILARIOUS! The 80's theme song, the "doo-doooo"s, the multiple takes of it racing by timed with the music...IT'S ALL SO CHEESY AND 80's AND LAME THAT I LOVE IT!

[DiesesedCow]

ha! i want to see that thing get clothes-lined by an under water cable

[mynith]

just like riding a bike

[AlphabeticsAnonymous]

A true 90's badass... (complete with theme music)

[sukayaskazalsuka]

soviet develop

[steuarts]

lego bricks arre smaller than the pixels in this video at the beginning..

[KE4RWS]

Better have reasonably deep water when on elevated on the foil . . .

[NoiseFr3ak]

if it flips over you're fu**ed

[bebeDesigner]

What about counting with features of the earth like.... wind?!

[idriveakingswood]

This music gives me a boner

[tripptytripper]

@idriveakingswood poor you...my god you must be such a geek!

[gracer99]

@idriveakingswood hahahaha

[BarbnGrill]

@idriveakingswood fuck boners, i'd rather have pussy cats
