Why did somebody climb Mt Everest. It's sport, it's competition, that's all. Other than that, it's for no reason and a total waste of time. Sport is a big waste of time, I think.

It's in ground effect, but it's not a hovercraft. Human powered hovercraft is much easier to do. See human powered hovercrafts on You Tube.
