I cant see how that would work in any way at all? Self powered by bobbing up and down? Behind a boat, kite, whatever? I dont get it, but he's clearly quite keen!

Looks cool. Reminds me of Roy Stewart's tunnel fin.

V good..... that made me smile

I will look again to find the one for $1.47m

But, they have possibly mistaken the currency - maybe should be priced in Vietnamese Dong 1,470,000 VND = approx $70 ? if so, I will take one of each design
