Its Got The Leans

Here's my 2nd Aquaskipper straight out of the box for the 1st time. Unfortunatley it got a serious lean to the left. I've tried to correct the problem by increasing the pitch on the left hand trailing edge. Anyone else had this problem?

Hi I live in South Yorks and have just started, had my first go in Rother Vally waterpark yesterday evening.

Watching your vids is a little better than the matchstick drawings given in the manual.

I am at the 4 bounce and sink stage, so I think a litte more to catch you on.

Hi Pdgbar, keep at it, don't forget to push the handlebars down so the hinge touches the water, makes all the difference. Post a video when your ready.

That is awesome. I saw it on mythbusters, so I searched it here and sure enough it's real. I wonder how much they run? Looks like great exercise.

I still have my 1st Aquaskipper but its a little bit beaten up from the learning process. You can view that process on my other video. Once you've mastered the technique, the next hurdle is fitness. It is a bit exausting, but I generally don't do much aerobic excersise normally. There is a challenge amongst a few Aquaskipper drivers where I live (UK) to be the 1st to get to the Isle of Wight, (2.5miles) Hopefully my trips will be getting longer.
