Dump Scows, Hydrofoils, Pedal Kayaks, and More!

 

Well this was a first for the many, many times I’ve been to the beach at Sullivan’s Island. 

No, not her…

Him! What is he riding so ably along the shoreline? Never seen one before.

Earlier we walked past it. I stopped and went back a few steps to snap this photo. Why? Because, like I said, I had never seen one before. What is it! 

Meet the Waydoo Electric Hydrofoil Board. List price: $4,899-$6,499. Expensive toy! 

The novelty caught the eyes of many other beachgoers too. The rider can almost walk on water! 

Waydoo is the brand of the “efoil Evo.” Evo, I just learned, is short for evolution, a marketing word that suggests a brand or model is advanced, upgraded, or cutting-edge. 

I’m pretty sure he’s holding a device to stop the board should he fall off and it speeds away.  

I saw another unique watercraft that is more my speed. This pair pedaled by as we lounged in our beach chairs. 

Have to chuckle seeing this guy’s socks. Looks like he has a walkie-talkie to communicate with his partner. I like the red flags.
