Patent ID: 7802534

Claim:
A self propelled hydrofoil device, comprising: a front foil; a steering structure including a steering shaft that is substantially continuous and has a handle at one end and the front foil coupled to the other end; a second foil; a user platform that is wider than long and provided above the second foil; a plurality of vertically disposed members that descend from the user platform to the second foil to transfer a downward directed drive force from the platform to the second foil; and a support frame that couples to the steering shaft; wherein the steering shaft is pivotally coupled to the support frame wholly between the front foil and the second foil and extends continuously forward of the support frame coupling point to the front foil coupling end such that pivotal movement of the handle up and down imparts a see-saw movement on the steering shaft and the front foil, with downward movement of the handle causing the front foil to move upward and upward movement of the handle causing the front foil to move downward.
