Foiling in zero wind..

Imagine there is no wind and you are in a wide river with 10 knots of current.
You can sail up river (toward the source of the river) on an Americas Cup AC50 sailboat (or on a kite foilboard).
Thanks to an Americas Cup skipper for presenting this amusing scenario.
(both AC50s and kite foilboards have VMG capabilities of greater than the apparent wind speed)
