I'm not a sailor at all, so I don't even really know how to describe this, but at 6:33 when that freighter or whatever was visible . . . I was thinking about what that whole scene would have looked like if the support vessel hadn't been there: imagine being on that ship and seeing some guy just riding his bike across the water. I think I would have probably decided I had to be hallucinating and needed to take the rest of the day off.
I'm sure the comedic aspects of the situation didn't occur to you guys at all, but I can't stop laughing. It's like stumbling into a painting by Magritte (or one one of those surrealist type guys).
6:09 (for others looking for the freighter.)
Absolutely awesome, well done Hayden!
Can't wait for the next adventure!
Absolutely brilliant ! Well done
A great effort ,well done.
Amazing bikes!
Unbelievable. Amazing! I can imagine how tired it is doing it for a very long hour and not good weather? Even I just watched it I sometimes stop breathing. What an awesome achievement. Wow!
Amazing 👍🏻
Incredible
Excellent 🙏💚
Try to market this in the Philippines this is very useful for many islands. Try to produce a lot and sell it in cheap and you'll get boom there.
You are awesome 😎 love from India
Well Done.
Nice work! Hayden must be a very fit guy to be able to pedal hard for 2-1/2 hours!
My instructor, world record bearer😁
An amazing achievement & yes Kiwi & their ingenuity & Smarts. A very smart lot us kiwi
Excellent accomplishment!! Do you have the longitude & latitude from the ride from point to point pls?
That is extremely cool! Question - how would you get back onto the bike in the water, when there's nothing to use as a support? Does it stay vertical if you fall off?
Hi there! The bike itself is a flotation device (floats on its side). You can climb back on it and perform a technique called submerged launch. Here is a whole submerged launch dedicated class, with broken down steps and the whole launch at the end helpdesk.manta5.com/knowledge/submerged-launch
How long into it before you realised bare feet was a bad idea ?
I would like to know what can happen if he wants to stop in the middle of the water?
Where can I buy this?
awesome mate ...!
Thank you! Cheers!
What's the roughest swell these bikes have been tested in?
We actually took it to a surf session at Raglan - NZ 's most iconic surf spot - and the bike handled pretty well. Some snippets here czcams.com/video/3jhjsFGCmsA/video.html ..and here czcams.com/video/7ysbV3Diq7A/video.html ( first clip on both videos)
If the bike runs out of battery could you manually ride it? Just like a normal bike?
It is possible to ride manually but it is hard work. It depends on how heavy you are, and what gearing the bike has been setup with.
How long before someone modifies one with an internal combustion engine to get some higher speeds and longer travel distance?
or maybe a jet? that would be sick!
How did he do that in bare feet and with that skinny saddle?!! Should have used clipless pedals and shoes.
what happen if we facing with the storm?
How can we get over if there is the crocodile follow and want to bite us?
Exactly the same you would do if you were on land and saw a tiger....pedal, pedal, pedal! =)
They should really go for a more efficient type of hydrofoil which you lie on almost horizontally ! Lower centre of gravity = better stability. It is already proved that lie-down bicycles outperform most racing bicycles.

Music muffled Hayden's voice.Why do they always play such music? Let's hear the guy talk!
How much is this hydro bike?
78,000

i want to see someone catch waves with this
We actually took it to a wave riding session at Raglan - NZ 's most iconic surf spot - and the bike handled pretty well. Some snippets here czcams.com/video/3jhjsFGCmsA/video.html ..and here czcams.com/video/7ysbV3Diq7A/video.html ( first clip on both videos)
More content coming soon. Cheers!
would rather see this done without surfing powerboat wake or using battery power
All fun and games till a fucking wave cm by an it’s up 😂
