Amazing and Cool Video Thread

Not taking away from what Laird Hamilton has done, or what kai lenny is doing, because they've got mad skills I never had or will have, but the hydrofoil ski was invented in the early 60's by water skiers.

Yes, which is where Laird got the idea (ripping it off a ski and attaching to a surfboard).

There's a documentary on it somewhere. The main takeaway is that it really revolutionized where and how they could surf big waves. On a regular board, choppy conditions can be fatal. Hydrofoil assists in eliminating that issue, since it rides "below" the surface.

Safe stop table saw.



Works about 10 times faster than an airbag. Pretty amazing.

I've seen those episodes. Those were awesome. I love watching Smarter Every Day with my son.

The first 13 seconds are worth watching.

Good sound track, sounds like Pelican.

Cab overs were meant for those little euro roads because they maneuver like a MF, the trade off is that they typically aren't made to haul heavy loads.

This would be a great job.
